Changed tap washers and still dripping / leaking? Do this........ 

The Tap Reseaters either hand operated or electric are a work of art, so glad I keep track of there where abouts. Note to self "tidy up the back shed". Thank you for the tutorial.

Bill the Tradie is a top guy, full of knowledge, skills and politeness. I fully recommend 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻+

Thanks Bill Show To. I had anxiety about doing this, bought the reseating tool and some new washers and then put it off for 4 months! Followed your video today and did it easy! Thanks legend

I did the washers and re-seated the tap but it still leaks. I suppose I will have to get a new tap. I note these problems are always with the hot tap which tend to damage the whole seat eventually. Thanks for the explanations.

Very helpful. Thank you, Bill. 1 Question: How many times do you estimate you can you clean up the valve seats before the branch becomes worn too thin?

Really good content. You explain things well. Thank you!

Thanks you very much Bill .❤❤❤ from Australia

Been putting this job off because I thought you needed a plumber to fix it.Now I'm going to give it a go.Looks straight forward.

thank you for sharing you kowledge and enthusiasm - it's kinda infectious - cheers from Adelaide

I changed both stems in my shower, still have the dam drip, I will look into this thanks

Got one job did the same way take the head off and flush the pipe, however the copper shred was stuck in the flexible hose reduce water pressure. I would recommend take the hose off from the wall give the flushing. Or don't put spindle on, give a quick on and off completely flushed. It's my feedback.

Brilliant Bill. Great demo

Thank you so much for sharing this with us Bill. 🕊🌿🌳🌲🍀🌱🌴✍📝🙏🔧👼 Especially loved the tip; remove shower head to clear through the copper shavings, then replace shower head; and all set to go! Loved seeing the "behind the wall" parts, at the beginning of the presentation. I love understanding the whole picture. Love in our Lord Jesus Christ, Princess Holly 🕊🌿🌳🌲🍀🌱🌴🕊🌿🌳🌲

this finally fixed my drip. had trouble finding the tool in canada but finally found it at princess auto. had to do by hand since it wouldn’t fit a drill, wasn’t the greatest but indeed did the job

I got the reseat tool from Bunnings. Not the drill model you’re using but the model you turn by hand and it works great.

Thank you so much for this video. Solved my dripping shower problem. 👍

Unreal vid mate. Thankyou. Very helpful

Great video with background explanations. Can you please do one on how to replace the seat when it's past the point of reseating?

Killing vid Bill , gonna run down to Bunnings now , for a re-seating tool Cobb 👍

Nice video but Im dont have the tool ...so in a hurry time Im used teflon type and works amazing.

Oh mate, so daengerous!! Is there a risk of overdoing the resurfacing? Cheers .

Heey bill love ur channel ive just replaced my damged tap seat in the tub but the spout still leaking

Very clear and concise. Well done.

I love watching your videos and its really help. Keep it up the good work mate. Cheers!😊

Mate thank you very much, the only isse i have is depending on how much crap is taken away by the cleaner ,you have to be carefull not have that stuff get stuck in the threads when you put the tap back on ,so clean it perfectly if you can with out putting the tap back on, thats all, but perfect upload champ and saved my headaches from the missis why cant you fix it, i was worried that the tap washers buckled the brass behind the washer and would need to take off the tiles and get it all replaced, cheers buddy and keep up the great work. :)

And when they still leak? It’s not a small leak, I’ve ground so much away, I have gone through seven washers and styles of outlets (including ceramic), this is super frustrating. It’s as if the tap is still open/half on. Is it possible to grind it too far?

Great video mate. This is so helpful. Thankyou for you time and great lesson.

I like the presentation, very neat and straightforward. Thanks.

Hi Bill, great DIY channel. Just a question as l used the reseating tool and the brass is looking clean, however the brass ring has these imperfections and they seem to get bigger after reseating. Do l continue to resurface and will it eventually get shaved perfectly? Thanks!

You're a legend mate. thank you

Cheers mate .... changed 3 on the weekend and they all still ran .... ill do this and no doubt knock it over cheers .

Cheers. Something i was looking last 2 weeks....

Officially gave you the 1000's like on this😆 great stuff!

Great video! Thanks for sharing

You're a legend Bill!

Thanks for this. I changed the cartilage today and it was still leaking. I'll try this seating thing next

Thank you for the video. I finally fixed it.

Great demo! I just did that to my taps and now watching the video on how to do it for some reason XD My fear with re-seating every time I do it, is that I'll shave off too much brass over time and will end up changing the pipes. Is that a valid concern?

Great vid /ThumbsUp

great video,,, do you need to have the spindle in the "open position" before you screw them into the wall? Thank you!!

REALLY informative thank you! Questions if you will. 1) Do you know if Chicago Faucet and T&S brands have the same seat angle or do I need two different seat resurfacing tools? 2) Website (s) for said tool(s)? V/r, Thank you

Informative as always. Any chance you could also show how to replace a spout on a bathroom basin set? Thanks

Hi mate, I couldn't find the reseting tool in burnings tools section. please tell me where can I find the tool and what is the exact name of the tool. Thanks for your help.

You absolute legend , worked like a dream. Thanks mate 👍

After doing all this, the shower is still dripping. New valves too. I shaved down the surface twice, but still leaking. The surface is shiny. Do I keep going? What else can I do?

Mate bill, you are a legend. I can't wait to try this out! I have never owned a drill but excited to change that now. This is like the only type of these videos i've come across with decent video quality and structure. Def earned this sub thanks!

thanks Bill super helpful

Thank you Brother!

Nice vid. Good to oz content.

Well done good job

Does this work the same for all taps?

Hi Got a link to buy that resetting tool? thx

I have same style bathroom faucet and my seal keeps tearing, the one that sits on top of the spring... It's happening for both the cold and hot sides. It was fine forever now they're breaking every two weeks. Any idea what the heck I've done wrong?

Awesome info video. I really thought it would help me... that was until I tool the taps off and discovered that some bugger has filled the gaps behind and into the wall right to the tiles with filler/silicon of some sort and I can't get to the spindle to take it off!

Changed my washers and have used the same re seating tool and it still leaks what could be the issue?

Great info, thanks

Billy boy thanks for the video ! U save my water bil mate 😂🤙

@billshowto is any lubricant needed (oil) to be applied to the cutter tip before starting to cut into the seat?

Worked a treat, thanks mate!!

Bro mean az that was so helpful I be getting that reseating tool straight away thanx bro

Thank you! Great vid!

Thanks Bill. The shower no longer leaks.

Good explanation. At the end , gotta say.. Bob's your uncle or in this case.. Bill's your uncle 😃👍

what brand and part number is that awesome tool. thanks

Love your video mate. One question how can I get soft turn washers?

Tried this still leaks 😳 tried different washers from bunnings still leaking. What could be the problem

great vid....thanks mate.

How do I use a reseating tool manually?

Thanks for help saved my tail! Great video.

hey bill, i changed the taps in our shower, when i turn the cold water tap on, water comes out of the spindle, ive done the reseating, upgraded the washers etc etc but still does it, hot water tap side is completely fine, do you know what it might be?

Now I’m a hero to my wife😆

Nice. Can we please have a video on how to know increase shower pressure. I have two showers, of which one is good but the other shower pressure is very low. I tried to change the valve and clean showerhead. Nothing helped. Thank you.

Where can I find the resurfacing tool in Australia?

Thank you very much! 👍

Where did you get the drill reseating tool?

Please let us know the part number , brand etc … y local hardware store don’t sell it !

Do you go back and screw the washer back out after flushing?

Done all that and one tap is STILL leaking ! any idea please ?

Excellent video Bill. How many coffee do you have before the video shoot mate?

I don't know why Seat Grinding would be necessary..as Brass is a lot harder than the Rubber Valve..The Seat is Black because of Tarnishing..eventually with repeated grinding..there'd be no Seat left..using the Drill is by far easier, however is more severe...

Thank you..

Champion

Thank you 👍

Where can I get the resetting grinding you have the store or the name of the item

Legend

You sound just like Alan on Smart Money YT vids. He helps people with ideas to make more money.

I have re seated a tap several times and it just starts dripping again. The water keeps wearing a groove in the seat in a very short time.

I've had a plumber in to do everything you mentioned in your video but our hot water tap is still having mini drips. It's now turned on super tight all the time but i am worried that maybe its the pipe at the back that may require replacement 😭

Solved my problem thanks

Mine leaks in the wall behind the taps when I turn the water off in my shower. Can't figure out why but it's a problem because I can't get access to it because the wall is covered in marble! Not sure what to do at this point.

Great video, but I would be re-seating by hand rather then with a drill, much safer, especially for novices...

great video mate , helped me out alot .

Do you have the part number ?

Thanks mate, champion!

Thank you! I believe this is going to solve my problem. It is an outside tap but I'm sure it works the same way. The only thing I did not like about your video is, why didn't you clean behind the caps before you replaced them? Ew! Just 2 more minutes, if that. 😕

let them know, that there is no need to remove more than enough of the seating, I have been plumbing for more than 50 years, once I reseated a tap, but it still leaked, with the new washer, it turned out it was due the dezincification of the brass seating

Does anyone know what causes this? I’ve found sometimes a mysterious nick or notch on the brass seating surface, and no amount of reseating will get rid of it. I don’t know what causes it. I usually end up buying a new tap

Bill mate my tap drips and then turns all the way round to full blast can you give me some advice bro?

Legend thanks bruss

Bro my washer won't come out I tired with piles and pulled so hard the hole is to small anyone know how to fix?
