tap

Hope someone can help as I’m clueless with plumbing. Out of the blue the bath hot water has become luke warm but the shower is hot? Doesn’t make any sense If I turn the hot tap on and then switch to shower it’s boiling, but when I do the kids bath the water is 34c which is too cold Iv attached...

Help please! My hot tap has a steady drip which has increased. I’m assuming it needs a new washer and this is where I’m getting a bit stuck. All YouTube videos show taps similar to ours where they unscrew midway down. Mine doesn’t. It’s smooth all the way round so not the sort that can be...

Evening folks, I’m trying to fix my dripping tap but can’t figure out how to get inside the tap. There’s no screws or caps to find. Anyone got any ideas? Cheers!

I’m hoping someone can help. Earlier in the year we had our bathroom revamped. Water pressure to the bath was always low but to the basin it was good (we didn’t turn the cold tap on fully as it would splash everywhere if we did). Since having a new basin, and tap, the water trickles out, even...

Why doesn’t Screwfix sell flexi tap connectors where there is a nut and rubber washer seal on one end? I need them to screw onto an isolating valve.

How do I loosen these brass nuts? I’ve tried all sorts but can’t get a grip of them. Tried using an adjustable spanner but there’s just no space to turn the nut.

I’m replacing my kitchen tap and need to figure out the best way to connect the tap’s flexi pipes. Currently, there are no isolation valves installed, so I’m planning to add them as part of the process. The flexi pipes that came with the tap are 300mm, which is too long for my setup. I’m...

So my cold water storage tank isolation valve is failing, it is leaking around the threaded extension part. Can anyone advise a solid lever bore valve with housing length (nut to nut end) of 69 or 70 mm? Secondly there is a tap about 2 metres downstream from the storage tanks & turning this...

We recently moved into our new house (Reno project) and replaced the dripping bridge mixer tap. The tap was leaking at the spout when turned off, as well as at the base of the left hand hole that supplied the hot water when the hot water was turned on. Cold side didn't leak at all. We replaced...

Hi I have a kitchen mixer tap which allows the top part to pull out as a hose (like american sinks). It has frayed and I need t replace it, can you please identify what type of hose this is please and thanks I've uploaded 3No. photos

I am currently converting a van and about to do the plumbing. I bought a tap that extends 1.5m which I am going to use as a shower head. The issue is, I wanted a tap with a stop button but the tap I got has a pause button instead, meaning to stop the flow of water I have to hold down the button...

Hi, a couple of weeks ago my hot water bathroom tap was running water out of it perfectly, until it started to become hot. When it became hot, I had to turn it off and on multiple times until it started flowing out at a high pressure (it’s only this tap in the house). I took the cap off...

I installed a Victoria Plumb shower about ten years ago, and it has intermittently started running cold. I believe that there is a thermostat inside the temperature control tap but I can't see any way to get it off. The other two taps have small holes with Allen bolts inside them, but this one...

Hi, I have a telephone style shower head, which rests on antlers on the mixer tap. The porcelein handle spins round now which means you can't control the direction of the shower head. Can this be fixed please? TIA

Hey all My kitchen tap vibrates after I flush the toilet which is near to the kitchen (not if I flush the other toilet further away though) The tap vibrates and let's out a small stream of water for about 10 seconds and then the sound and vibration goes away Recently there were water works...

I had a a problem with the Mixer Tap in my Kitchen. The Cold Tap was slipping and wouldn't turn off with a single turn. I fixed this original problem by tightening the screw. This problem with the screw has now returned This time when I tighten the screw It does not stay tight or if it does I...

Hi, I have a 90degree elbow coming off of a mdpe pipe. I've have changed the faulty tap. The new tap when fully tihhtend opposed to facing down (as previous did) is facing to the left. If i slacken so that it faces down then it leaks. I have applied alot of PTFE tape to no benefit...

Hello. I am having to change my kitchen tap. We have a gravity fed system, however the water to the kitchen tap is coming from the mains, not from the header tank in the loft. My wife would like a brushed brass coloured one. The only 0.3bar taps I can find which are Brass coloured are...

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...

Hi, when our kitchen fitter installed our tap, he had to do a bit of a workaround because the threaded part of the tap pipe that goes through the worktop wasn’t long enough. From what I can see from underneath the worktop, he’s put a female connector on to the tap pipe thread, then a separate...
