Hi Wondering if anyone can help at all please .... Wondering if there is any chance anyone might be able to identify what make & model these taps are please, see images, or any ideas how to take them apart to access the cartridge? We have one dripping bathroom sink tap but the plumber we had...

One for anyone with sink experience, Putting a sink in, the sink itself is in to the worktop and things are moving forward ok, piping going in but looks like I have a blanking plate missing and I bought this sink at least 9 months ago and have no packaging left, any idea if I can find...

Morning all Just discovered a leak under the sink. Looks like a pipe is not connecting properly to the P trap. I have pictures and a video: Just hoping anyone can give some guidance on what I might be able to do myself before calling a plumber? Proper DIY novice me so no clue what i'm doing...

Hello, I’m looking to install new sink taps, bath taps and a shower valve in my bathroom. The cold water is a white 15mm pipe, and the hot water a 22mm grey pipe. I'm planning to use JG Speedfit Plastic Push-Fit connectors after researching their good reviews and ease of use online. The...

I am looking to buy new units for my very narrow kitchen. I am having trouble understanding depth sizes. My current unit depth is 400mm, looking at units and sinks online and noting the "Minimum cabinet size" I see that many sinks that are 500mm wide say minimum cabinet size 450mm. I assume...

As I'm 100% new to owning a house I would like to learn a little rather than rely on a plumber for simple repairs/upgrades. The pipe on the left is the hot tap, but isn't that the connection for the washing machine attached to it? And why are there two pipes on the right? FYI: My house has a...

We have had a new sink installed with new plumbing. The sink will not drain properly and fills up when the plug is open and up. I pull the plug up as far as possible, nothing works to stop the sink filling up. It does eventually drain away but stays full for a while.:( Why is it doing this? Our...

I have a stainless steel handwashing trough in a children's nursery. The waste has a domed metal guard over the top (about 5cm high) to stop solids from going down the waste. It's tamper-resistant, so that the children can't bypass it. The domed guard has broken, and I need to replace it. But...

Hello all! My first post and I’m needing some help! I’ve just taken out a sink, and there’s an odd sized drain cemented into the ground, going straight into (what I think is) a 110 mm soil pipe. Inside diameter looks like 55mm and outside diameter looks 70mm. Never come across this before. Can...

Hi super novice here. Refitting my kitchen and come to connect the tap supply. There is existing copper pipes to supply hot and cold. On these pipes are braided pipes with isolator valves at the end. Then a small length of copper pipe with the remnant of the compression fittings that were...

Hi guys, its been around 2-3 months ive had my new bathroom installed - new floor, tiles, plastering, appliances etc. I've been trying to ignore this really bad damp, moldy, stale smell that is so potent coming from my SINK. I've poured bottles and bottles of bleach down the drain to try to...

Hi, I was wondering if someone could help me as to what has happened to my sink? It's my utility room sink, which we have only had for 5 months, and we don't use it much (only really to wash our hands after gardening or maybe to soak tough stains). No idea how/ when it happened. Is there a...

Hiya, Had a new bathroom installed. The sink is running really slowly to empty. Is this set up correct? Worried it'll get smelly buildup quite quickly. Thank you.

Hi Chaps and Chapesses, The window fitters jumped onto the kitchen worktop and dented the stainless steel draining board quite badly. They came today to change the sink as it was not possible to panel beat it from the underneath to get the large dent out. As the old sink lifted off there was...

Okay so I went and purchased this nice Grohe Bau Curve Kitchen Mono Mixer Tap and I knew it came with 6mm bore flexi tails which was fine because I thought I'll just change them with 8mm bore flexi tails that I purchased at the same time. When I tried to undo the preinstalled flexi tails from...

Just moved into a new house, where the previous owner was a bit of a DIY buff, where he did things not quite right. Trying to work out the most dangerous/problematic bits, so I know what to fix first and I've found the sink plumbing look really wrong. I wanted to check with people that this is...

I have just replaced a bathroom sink waste unit. Its leaking slowly - its wet on the outside of the thread, suggesting its leaking between the unit and the sink. the nut to tighten the seal on the base of the unit is hidden in and behind a porcelain pedestal making it impossible to tighten the...

hey all, recently started refitting my kitchen and after my plumber flaked out and just didn't turn up I had to do the plumbing work myself. so I replaced the piping and solder joints with brass and steel compression fittings. along with adding two isolator valve on each pipe. probably not the...

Hi, The other day the waste on my bathroom sink broke (very old and corroded), and I can't figure out how to remove it now to replace it. There's no locking nut underneath It was a pop up plug with a lever behind the taps, but the part attached to the lever is the part that broke off! There...

Hello everyone, We will be installing a new kitchen and would like to simplify somehow the piping under the sink (see attached pic for what we currently have). The brass pipe in the pic controls the water in the house and also an outdoor tap, but it's very bulky and takes up most of the space...
