damn.. i've just checked it only to find a new tiny little leakage here:

but when the fella was gone, it started leaking in another place)) i called him, he returned and fixed it. now all is good

that's how it looks now. the leakage is no more.

Thank you guys, I called the landlord(agent) and asked him to send someone more competent than me. To the next post I'll attach the pictures showing what was done.

Thank you for your help.

i will definetely tell him tomorrow. What would u advise me to tell him to make sure he understands how serios it is? I think he may send here another handyman, just like the son of the previous tenant, not a professional plumber who would do a job which won't last long.

Well, I definetely should report it to him.

Yes, I am. Why?

btw, as far as I know, nothing was changed there since at least couple of years ago.

well.. you should have seen what happened to the stairs yesterday, and whom they send to fix it, and how he fixed it..:LOL:

ok, am I right to understand that what I need is: 1 - to buy that valve, 2 - drain down everything, 3 - remove the plastic valve and 4 - fit the new metal valve :confused: at what stage and where should I fit a short piece of copper pipe? (how short and what diameter?)
