hiya all,
could do fitting a new bath mixer as the old one has seen better days and started to drip a bit after use, could go do the lines of replacing the washers but not really had good experience of this solving the problem?!
(item is 13 years old) so about time for a change
is it as simple as -
take bath panel off
turn water off
undo tap connectors with bath spanner
undo fixings to bath mixer with box spanner
place new one (guessing there all the same size etc)
fix tap to bath
connect tails replace washers (gussing there the bigger type (not 1/2 inch)
tighten up
put water back on
bath pannel bath on etc
??!! worth while doing your self of getting someone to do it for you?!
im not bad at diy/have fitted compression fittings etc in the past.
thanks - any help would be appreciated
