Hi. Novice here!
Bathroom mixer tap was getting 'sticky' and I so sprayed some wd-40 silicone lubricant through some of the gaps - unfortunately it has made it seize up and the tap needs quite a bit of force to either turn it on or change temperature. I'd used the silicon spray on a couple of...

Hi I have a John Lewis kitchen mixer tap but can’t see the item name just JL. Does anyone know what replacement ceramic washer I’d need? It’s approx 5-7 years old. Many thanks

Hi,
My bathroom is getting redone in a few weeks. I have the option of 2 taps again or a mixer. I've seen online that if the hot flow is 'too much' lower than the cold, a mixertap won't work well.
How do I know if it might be an issue? (Or what the cause of difference is?) (I can't say for sure...

We live on a farm and the main water pipe comes down a long driveway and then splits off two ways - 1) to the main farmhouse, which then feeds a pressure washing bay on one of the other units and 2) to the other units, including a small commercial kitchen, and another pressure washing bay. In...
Hi. My boiler (a Vaillant Ecotec Plus 8xx) short cycle HW every few seconds and, because of the he priority it means no central heating. If I close the hot water circuit (turning the valve underneath the boiler) then the CH works fine. So, I can either have hot water or central heating.

My Franke Eiger mixer tap started leaking from where the spout joins the body. I took the spout off, the o rings looked ok so I put a bit of silicone grease on and put it back. After a couple of days it started again. I have a friend that has about six different boxes of o rings, he must have...
We are replacing our kitchen mixer tap, but I haven't figured out how to remove the old one yet as I'm a lowly DIY-er and unfamiliar with the fitting that holds it in place.
The old tap is a Franke Zurich, and inspecting underneath the sink I can see it has what looks like a brass tube with a...
Are the tap hole centres on most 3 hole tap centres the same? Have to swap the taps in one that has 200mm centres for the taps with the spout in the middle. Thanks.
Good Evening all, hope everyone is well.
Im not long out of my time so go gentle please lol.
I have the job of replacing bath mixer tap (no isolation valves fitted under bath). It has an unvented cylinder installed. Is it just a case of isolating mains water, opening taps to drain water out of...

I have lived at this house for over 10 years and it has been interesting keeping things working.
The latest issue is a weeping kitchen mixer tap. Probably been gently weeping since I moved in but always blamed the slight damp on somthing else. Took it apart and look what I found. Standard tap...
I have a shower mixer tap on bath, flow on left temperature right but leaking from temperature control on right side, found a replacement but the flow and temperature reversed, is that ok
Hi, I'm installing a new mixer tap in my kitchen. The current setup doesn't have any isolation valves so was thinking I'd cut the pipe, install a couple of flat faced isolation valves and then screw the flexi's into that. My question is, should I be using PTFE on the threads, joining compound on...
Hi. For the first time since moving in 7 years ago, my pre-existing bath hot tap is only running luke warm to cold. The attached shower is the usual decent hot temp as is the basin and kitchen tap. (I've got a combi boiler.) From reading the forums I thought maybe the thermostat cartridge might...
Hi All,
Kitchen mixer tap (see image) is dripping and it's driving me nuts! I can't find a good enough description of the type of tap it is to find a link on You Tube and work out how to change the washer.
Any links or generic advice on what needs to be done to change the washer (after I've...
