Just one question, do you not need to put some sort of sealant type of product between the basin and the tap itself? Great video 👍🏻 Comment from : ThePaulg123 |
|
Thank you very informative 😊 Comment from : egoyibo clementina Onwuegbute |
|
Thank you Comment from : Ivelina Minkova |
|
That was very useful The hard part was getting the old taps off as a build-up of limescale under the basin made it close to impossible I could have done with a tutorial on using the basin wrench Thank you Comment from : Martin Watson |
|
Finally found the tap design i wanted to change the washer on and you bloody change the tap!!!!! Comment from : Tin Machine |
|
Such a shame the lovely older model pillar taps, were replaced by something so cheap and cheerful ;) Comment from : Sharon Ryan |
|

|
Thank you so much, you made that look so easy Comment from : Ali Mirza |
|
I love this videom so straight forward and clear! But I have a question: Are the taps universal size? Or are they dif sizes (Threads and sink hole size etc) Comment from : Reo |
|
I got a quote from a rip off merchant just for the labour to change 1 tap and was quoted £180 That was JUST for labour Thank you for this video I managed to get a tap and that spanner thing all for £40 all in 👍🏽 Comment from : uktech |
|
Well despite of good job it's still stupid to have two taps one with warm and other with cold water send me the link of conversion from 2 to 1 tap Comment from : places to visit and fun |
|
I am utterly useless at DIY, however, just successfully changed two basin taps, and didn’t swear once!! Many thanks 😊😊 Comment from : Phill Wickens |
|
Yeah I have just done this for the very same reason; the old taps looked tired and manky and my mum was having issues gripping the old twist taps so lever taps did the trick You don't mention it in your video but the braided flexi-pipe with built in shut off valve is a good addition whilst you have water off and everything apart Obviously you will have to go to the main water stop cock and the job becomes a little more involved but with basic tools and common sense you can future proof the installation and make any future maintenance as easy as this video shows Always worth lubricating the thread of the new taps with a dab of vaseline or something and watch you don't cross-thread the nut onto the tapeasy to do when you are holding with one hand, reaching with the other and can't see what your doing Comment from : Chris Evans |
|
Great video, thanks I’ll let you know how I get on Wish me luck! Comment from : MrShandy123 |
|
What if you don't have flexi pipes 😢 Comment from : Billy J Zeramin |
|
super helpful :) thank you changing mine tomorrow :) Comment from : Claire’s Crafty Corner |
|
I bought the "claw", however it didn't work because the nut was super tight and had slightly curved edges, so the claw just slipped over it Comment from : Christiaan Tober |
|
Thank you Comment from : Shari |

Hi I have a tap probalem and this is they don't reach over my basin (I bought the house recently) How do I know I am buying the right size tap so I can actually wash my hands??? Comment from : lucy Clark |

Reattaching the cold water feed pipe is the most difficult bit!brWhy to disconnect it in first place? brI'd appreciate your response as you're good at explaining brThank you 🚰😊 Comment from : Ekaterina |
|
Great Video, but you say luckily you have some valves under the sink to turn off the water supply What if you haven't, how do I shut off the hot water from the tank I presume I can shut off the cold from the main stopcock A video on that would be very useful, can't find anything useful on YouTube, thanks Comment from : 101PGH |
|
Cracking video Wallace I was just looking for tips and you reminded me about those claw thingies I'll be getting one before I get down on my creaky knees to change the taps Adios amigo! Comment from : Bob Cooke |
|

|
Amazing work mate, helped me out and I'm a stranger to plumbing Comment from : Nephi |
|
Very helpful and easy to understand Thanks so much Comment from : Elizabeth Njenga |
|
What do I do when the nuts that attach the pipe to the tap are dead and refusing to budge? My neighbours must think I'm giving birth in here! 🤣 Comment from : Sarah Hadland |
|
Thanks for this I'm about to go under my bathroom sink and replace the taps that have been there since 1952 It's a dark and scary place I'm worried that the connections won't fit in place exactly and I'll end up with exploding nuts when I put the water back on And I'm on my own so I'll only be able to tell when I've come back from the kitxchen when the big knob is so there's a three or four second time delay between me turning on the big nob and seeing if my nuts have exploded or not And it's 11pm Perfect timing Pray for me But your video did help And you are cute too Comment from : Matthew Christian |
