Am trying to help my elderly neighbour out - thought it would be a simple, replace washer type of job, but can't even remove top of tap!
It is a smaller, older style basin tap, but it doesn't have the decorative bit on top to take off hiding the screw?
Towards the bottom of the tap, there does appear to be a small gap, but not large enough to get a screwdrive in, have tried unscrewing the whole top of tap, but won't budge?
Also, when you turn the tap on, there is no water at all (cold water), I know that there is water running through the pipe as it is also connected to her washing machine which is fine.
Can anyone advise on firstly, how to remove top of tap, secondly, does this sound like a simple job?
Thanks
