Thanks. I'll give that a try (and report back).

Can anyone help me with some suggestions on how to remove old tile adhesive from UPVC door frames?

Hi Guys. I cleaned the pipes and fittings up and reasssembled them. This time the leak was from the black seal around the sink outlet! I tightened it by screwing the plug fitting in and the leak has disappeared. I think this was the problem all along, even looking at the photo above there...

OK will do. Thank you.

Just noticed it says pack of 4 and there's 5 in the photo they provide! :giggle:

Sorry Terry, I thought maybe some chain of plumbers merchants or something. These are available from B and Q (see image) FloPlast Polypropylene (PP) Seal, Pack of 4

Thanks Just Pumps. Hi Terryplumb. The sink and cabinet are from B and Q. I think the best way forward is as you suggest, take the seal to a plumbers merchant. If I'm being a nuisance, I'm sorry, but where might that be?

Hi Stef, Hi Danny Thanks for your replies. Yes Danny, I do have a flexible connector between the isolator and the tap.

Hi I live in a bungalow built in 1995. Refitted new Combi Boiler 2010. Works well (touch wood). Just a couple of days ago hot water pressure suddenly dropped at kitchen sink. Hot water pressure still OK in bathroom. Inspected kitchen hot water tap innards and clean as a whistle...

Right Guys. I have received the flexible pipe assembly, in bits, which is not a problem because I can cut the pipe for best fit. The flexible fit is the best solution, because when the cistern is flushed the pipe moves! The instructions with the fitting say use PVC glue, but searching on...
