tap

I bought some replacement 5/8 tap washers from screwfix, however they are larger than 5/8ths of in Inch in diameter! What tap washers do I need for my bathrooms sink tap, the old washers are 5/8ths in overall diameter. Regards: Elliott.

Please take a look at the pics first. Mixer Swivel Taps - Time to change cartridges - They're 15 years old - need help. The top casing & main body of each cartridge (two different types) has come off (upstairs bathroom - downstairs bathroom) - but the base is stuck in each of them - I can't...

Hello , Bought a ex display tap and sink the other day and I was wondering what Flexi pipe I need here. I want a compression fitting the other end but what goes at this end. Pretty sure its 3/8". If anyone could send me a link that would be great. Many Thanks

Hi folks, So I have a mixer tap in my bathroom and when I move it to the hot position the water trickles out. It never gets hot, I assume because the flow is not great enough to kick the combi boiler on. I replaced the tap thinking it was that, same problem. If I move the tap to the middle...

I am having issues mounting a handheld shower adaptor. Essentially the threaded male water connector for the handheld shower is not as long as that of the fixed shower (see photo below - the handheld shower adaptor is the shorter thread). This means that I do not have enough thread to...

Taps in photo were fitted a long time ago, how long before 2007 I don't know. Hot tap hardly turns and is tight. So I got a tap reviver kit from Screwfix, see photo. However I can't pop the cap on top of the tap to release the screw. I drilled down a bit, see photo, and top of tap still not...

Bath has two 3/4 taps, hot and cold. Was considering replacing knackered swirl taps with reviver kit. Bath is never used and capping taps off avoids possibility of young student tenants flooding over run bath onto neighbours underneath. Anyone know if there is an equivalent to a reviver kit that...

I've a steel kitchen sink which has ended up coated in lime plaster - I'm using 32% hydrochloric acid (spirit of salts) to clean it off, which seems to be working really well. I'm thinking of using the hydrochloric also on the mixer tap, which looks like a chrome finish - I'm intending to try a...

Hi all Sorry if this is a daft question, but is there any chance someone could help us to identify the cartridge in the pictures attached, or point us in the right direction? I'm not well enough to replace the whole tap but can replace the cartridge, and unfortunately I can't afford £60 +...

So I replaced my bathroom sink tap a couple of weeks ago due to my old one breaking. (The plastic square protruding part of the mixer cartridge on the old tap snapped, could not source a suitable replacement.) Got my new mono mixer tap from ScrewFix and since fitting it, I have noticed an odd...

Hi, I've fitted a metal Kaldewei bath with a Bristan Quest mixer tap. The tap holes were pre-drilled and the centres are fine. I tested the electric shower above and water leaked through the base of the tap and through the holes, onto the floor. The issue is that the holes in the bath are 35mm...

I am trying to tighten a B&Q monobloc tap fitted about 3 or 4 years ago. Its not the usual arrangement where you can just tighten a locking nut over a securing plate but has a nut built into the securing plate meaning that you turn the whole thing - but obviously you cant do that with the...

hi So I bought a nearly new shower / bath tap as you can see in the pics. But I am a complete numpty and have no idea what all the black bits with threads are to the left of the box ? Can someone please enlighten me :-) and sorry if I am being really thick ! Thanks in advance Thanks Bob

Hi all, First post, so please go easy on me. I've read previous threads, but it's a slightly different issue. I'll take on board minimum depth 750mm below ground, and blue MDPE piping for the 10 metre run. I'm having a new detached garage built, and want a tap on the outside of it for...

I have a franke kitchen tap and its dripping from the spout, not the top but where the spout goes into the body of the tap. i bought an o-ring and washer kit but have a problem fitting. I can unscrew the part where the spout meets the body and can then wiggle the spout up about an inch so its...

Hi. New to this forum so please be gentle! The sink in my bathroom has been dripping lately, getting a bit worse over the last week. I was going to take the handles off and replace washers but I'm having a problem getting the handles off. Any suggestions? It says "PJH02" on the back of the tap...

Hi there, Here is a picture of my kitchen tap. My kitchen tap is leaking inside the base here. There are no moving parts here. It must have a tiny hole/split inside that's allowing water to dribble slowly out and then it runs over the base of the tap and on to the sink. I've tried...

I can fit the rest of the tap - but not sure on the real purpose of the white part ... it fits snugly around the nut ??? But do I need it ?? (See photo) I have the feeling this is a stupid question !!!

Hiya, I would like to replace my tap to a mixer tap. However, i can't release the top slicer nut (A), but i could unscrew the copper one (B). Is there a way that i could do it. Can i just turn the tap itself?

Hey guys, I was hoping for your advice as I have little experience of plumbing and want to have a bash at fixing this myself. Long story short, the bath tap/shower seems to only be able to run from very warm (at coldest) to quite hot (at it's hottest). So it doesn't go hot enough for a hot...
