hi & help
to cut a long story short, our kitchen mixer tap is broken, one tap bit has only 2 prong thingys on it ( the bit you turn to get the water on) & now the whole thing leaks continually & we get water hammer noise regularly.
Is it an easy job to change the thing?? can i just change the tap body & things that turn it on, bit on top and attatch it to whats below ( pipes etc). my husb is a plumber and i have been waiting months for him to do it ( with no imminent signs he will get around to it)i ts driving me mad and just want to know if i could do it myself without any major traumas/disasters etc. i am not in any way shape or form a diy expert my most advanced diy skill to date was 'plumbing' out old & in our new washing machine by unscrewing the pipes - managed that with no floods, can i do the tap or will it all end in tears and major strop from husb when he finds my efforts to do this???
thanks
