    Should I fix it myself or call a professional?

    Thank you for the detailed clarification! I'll leave this mission till the next weekend. And in the meanwhile i'll search for metal handles for Vaillant on Ebay instead of old white ones.

    Should I fix it myself or call a professional?

    Great advice. I really want it to be the case. But i'll be able to try it when all the dishes are out of there. And it's not straight away, as my wife is busy at the moment ))

    Should I fix it myself or call a professional?

    most of the videos are american. one of the short videos suggested to silicone the lower edge of the metal thing which is on the surface of the sink. I know that we need to use an non-setting stuff? but is it a good idea to just apply it to the metal thing without playing around with the grey...

    Should I fix it myself or call a professional?

    And I wonder, do I need to dismantle all the white pipes below the grey thing to be able to apply plumbers Mait to the both sides of the gasket?

    Should I fix it myself or call a professional?

    Oh, thank you for the advice. As far as I can understand before applying the Plumbers Mait the surface of the gasket needs to be wiped off until dry? Or should I leave it wet? Evo-Stik Plumber's Mait 750g is the first one I found googling. Is it ok? What about regular silicone? I have a couple...

    Should I fix it myself or call a professional?

    Hi everyone. Here’s the situation: it’s been leaking from this spot for a while—see the photos. It mainly leaks when I use the sink heavily; if I don’t use it much, it seems like nothing’s leaking. I couldn’t figure out where it was coming from for a long time. So my question is: can I fix...

    How to stop leakage here?

    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.

    How to stop leakage here?

    Oh, i've just found out that this push fit was installed not so long ago, just several months ago, because it was leaking before. The lady-tenant's son came and fixed it, he is in no way a plumber. Looks like he fixed the problem temporarily, and now it came back. As far as I got he wasn't...

    How to stop leakage here?

    I hope it wont blow off very soon - it's been there for several years - and there were towels and rags from the previous tenant. I didn't know they were meant to absorb water constantly dripping from that push fit. How can I stop the flow in case it does blow off..? I suspect there should be...
