Hi all, I need to replace the mixer set on my corner bath, but I can\\\'t see how I can access the pipes and nuts. There is a removable wooden panel around the base of the bath, but this only allows a slight side access to the taps, with no space to turn a wrench, or get access to the second pipe. I was hoping I could take the taps off from the top, without getting access to the underside, but it doesn\\\'t seem possible...is it?

You will need a tap wrench, one of these......
Undue the two pipes and then the two retaining nuts connecting the mixer deck to the bath.

A third arm would be useful now

even with a basin wrench this job would make Mother Theresa swear
Hi
Hope you do not mind me jumping in on this but i have a query about the tap wrench is there a slimmer version of the tap wrench as the one i have is too big to get into the space left for me.
I am asking this as i am a Janitor at one of are schools and up to now i have had to call some in just to tighten up tap nut, or will i have to grind the one i have down till it fits
Thanks in advance

guys, just wanted to say thanks for the help, and humour. The job is done; bath, sink and wastes - thanks largely to you all.
Craig, the basin wrench was invaluable - bugger to learn how, but better with practice. Cwfi - the couples came in handy on the sink, so cheers for that. and Mike - your right - it's taken me 6 hours and the air was bluer than a Tories tie, but it's complete, and I now feel so much more of a bloke, that I might even stop calling myself Brenda on weekends!
Cheers
