Yup, Thanks,I have told him, lets see how good his customer service is.

Taps removed, new connectors put on,tested whilst not fitted to basin and NO leaks from my connections but some water inside the 'block' itself. Fitted back to sink, like a pro! But still water gathers inside.Tap is sealed flush to basin. Horseshoe is tight on...the water must be escaping inside...

Thanks, when you say it wont last you mean it is only of use to get the rings on and then is washed out? Also if I have two of the larger o ring fitting areas, should I fit two?

Thanks a lot, doing job tomorrow evening, should have done it tonight as the England match is turgid!

Sorry to be numpty, you mean hold them both together and check.? Would the difference be noticible enough for a novice to spot it? Should I buy the just o rings instead? Thanks

No the originals are still on the tap, leaking if I turn the water back on.The originals had two on them like this. I picked these up today rather than look for new o rings for the ones currently fitted

These come with two o rings on each of the tails, do I use them both please? http://www.screwfix.com/prods/27936/Plumbing/Flexible-Hoses/Flexible-Tap-Tails-Pair-10mm-x-15mm-x-300mm-Pack-of-2

Astracast Dove Monoblock (about 10 years old)After help from this site on how to get to the o rings and replacing them with a selection from the local DIY store I still have an annoying leak from the spout to swivel block join. So I have bought replacements from the makers astacast and they...

Thanks, pity she had already left feedback as I could say a few words. So, do I push the small o rings to just below the nut part of the tail or are they in the right place when you buy them? Also they came with two o rings on each tail , do I use them both?

AILEEN WATERFALL BATHROOM BASIN MIXER TAP W-01 Could anyone please give advise on fitting this monster! I fitted but have a leak that must be coming down the thread off the tail. When you screw the tails into the monoblock do you go finger tight and then pinch it a bit more? Where should the...

Brilliant again, I'll let you know how it goes!

Another thing I see is that all the tap connectors I can find 15mm x 3/4" are 10mm bore will this make it even slower? and/ or can you get them with a bigger bore? And is it ok just to connect the tap connectors direct to thenew bath tap plastic tails, would I have to use ptfe or anything...

Its mains pressure.Nothing up above in the loft at all.

After successful fitting of wc, I am now faced with fitting the bath. I am confident with the actual putting it together, taps and waste and securing solidly etc but again would like advice on the plumbing side. The bath taps I see are bigger than basin taps,3/4 I understand. The old pipes ...

Thanks for all the help.It all went ok.No leaks, no over tightened connection.I even used the fairy liquid trick to 'slide' the wc into the connector.

Brilliant, thank you for the prompt and helpful answer.

Also....! How tight do you tighten the pan to the cistern, do you keep going until the doughnut is flat?

I am replacing a wc and the inlet for the cistern is on the opposite side to the old one. I thought I could isolate the water and cut the pipe back and then connect a flexi pipe to the cistern. But there are so many available I need advice on which one. The pipe already has an isolating valve. I...

Thanks This is all very useful and exactly what I need. I will of course take all advice and follow it. I have been worried the recommendations of a local firm would be very expensive and the more knowledge I have the better I am able to know what is required and hopefully keep the price down...
