I already had the O-rings ordered and they seem to have sorted it, but if in the same boat again I will try this. EDIT: a second O-ring is showing a very small leak so will try this technique to sort this :)

Thank you I will try this :)

10+ year old Bosch dishwasher. Have a leak coming from here when the dishwasher fills. Have cleaned but has not resolved the leak. Suspect O-rings need replacing as they seem a bit loose when I removed this part to clean it. To get the right size I could do with identifying what this...

Water has gotten behind a few of our bathroom tiles, and any tiles I can remove have been taken off. See photo. I found some mouldy plasterboard behind, so I've cut the mouldy section away and intend to replace with a small section of Abacus Elements board ahead of a proper bathroom refurb down...

Some advice please on whether my logic makes sense! I found a crack in the grout and a loose tile behind the shower bath tap recently, and have taken the loose tiles off (the bottom row of tiles above the bath - see photo). The rest are stuck very securely so have left them be. I've ran a...

I found some cracks in our bathroom tile grout behind the bath tap & there's mould behind the few tiles I've removed already. I've never done any tiling before so am a total novice at this and would value comments/corrections. My plan so far is to keep removing tiles until there's no more...

OK it's holding so far. Thank you for your help

Understood. Just got back with the new one so will try now

Would prefer to take it out but how would I desolder to remove it?

OK it's out. Can I simply replace the bit I've removed as not confident it will fully tighten now it's rounded. Perhaps with this? https://www.toolstation.com/made4trade-mt-cock-type-b/p44048

OK will try

In trying to tighten it to stop the leak from the spout I've rounded off the plug and it leaks a little from there now as well as the spout, so would you agree removal and capping seems the most viable answer?

I can't find anywhere to screw off, so would like to just remove it and plug the 15mm pipe it connects to. Any desoldering tips in a tight space? I have a fairly cheap soldering iron and heat gun in the garage

OK system is now drained so will give a go thank you

Good point, unfortunately it is soldered on so don't have access to renew

Opened our CH drain to drain the system and now it won't fully close. I've fitted a new drain elsewhere on system so happy to bung this old one up, any tips? Photo from before I opened it.

Thanks for the reply. There isn't a drain going outside for this. Only one is the boiler's PRV drain.

Under ground floor (am working in the cavity at the moment and spotted it) Boiler is on ground floor. No drain cock.

I've found a small leak on an isolator for our CH system (sealed system, no drain valve), so need to drain it ideally (I'll replace the fitting with a new compression isolator). Any tips on how to do this with the least mess? Needed to get to this job at some point so now is as good a time as...
