Today I show you how to change or replace a single pillar bathroom basin tap. I'll show the plumbing and fixing of the tap, step by step, DIY.
This basin tap is leaking and I'm going to show you how to change it. Perfect for DIY ers, apprentices and homeowners. I'll show you turning off the hot and cold water, removing the old tap's flexible pipe connectors and plumbing. Unclamping the tap from the basin and installing, clamping and plumbing in the hot and cold water supply to the new tap (or faucet) plus even adding two new inline valves. Replacement of basin taps shouldn't be hard...you can do it!

@antipodeanvagabond Год назад

Could you help? I just replaced a tap with a new IKEA one and it's leaking around the bolt and olive joint on the hit water side. A steady trickle. I tried tightening it more but it still leaks. The other one tightened up nicely without any extra effort. I've had to shut the water off til I fix the leak.

You will never know what this video meant to me. Fixed and fitted my leaking bathroom tap at FIFTY FIVE YEARS OLD. FIRST TIME EVER. Love and respect for this great video. Priceless lol

Little tip for people, a box spanner set comes with 3 sizes. Can put one in the end of another extending it. Thank me later

@A13XW1 3 года назад

If they don’t all fit together (some budget “diy” ones don’t), you can also use a socket, extension bar & ratchet driver, if you also have those on your toolbox …

You've made me learn something about plumbing today, from your video. I now know how to rotate the valves, to stop the flow of water. My son broke the head of the basin tap, water was flowing continuously, and I couldn't get a plumber immediately, so I went to RU-vid and found your video, which enabled me to stop the water flow. Thank you so much. Ibrahim.

Mate that tap spanner is genius!! Just been looking at my tap like oh man how am I gonna do this

@Aesir5 3 месяца назад

I used a deep socket and extension from a quality 3/8 socket set to get the nut out. Mine was a 9mm nut.

@MYRDDINAPGERAINT 2 месяца назад

Only today I was under a basin trying to remove the nuts on the tap wishing I had a longer box spanner. That's a great little tool you had made. Wish I had one today 😂😂

@GoodMorningButch 2 года назад

Thank you so much for this super clear video! My tap has been leaking a bit for a few months and this has given me the boost of confidence that I’ll be capable of replacing it myself.

@pr-ji1ni 10 месяцев назад

Sir, you are lifesaver. My basin tap broke last night. I watched this video early this morning, ordered the piece on Amazon same day delivery, and just fixed it. Total cost: £27.99 for the new tap. Seeing how easily I fixed this thanks to you, I am now ordering the flushing system for my toilet, which has been leaking. Gonna fix that tomorrow after watching your video about that. Thanks so much for uploading this kind of stuff. It really makes a difference. Cheers.

Hello. Can I ask which toilet flushing video it was that you watched, please? I need to fix my Dad's loo... Thanks!

Hi Plumberparts, your video helped to replace my bathroom basin mixer Tap. Your saved me Plumber's charge. You are very funny, Cathy loves you so much I can tell. And your T-Shirt is funny too. Thank you so much for saving my money. God Bless you and your family Sir.

@PaulaSchmidt-cr7sq Год назад

Very helpful, thank you. My son kindly offered to change my basin tap for me and I watched the video before 'helping' him. It didn't exactly go smoothly, but he was ultimately successful and I was able to offer some helpful comments along the way (to balance out the annoying ones).

James, treat yourself to the Nerrad Tapex kit. There’s a handy angled joint connector for when you’re unable to come up directly from underneath. Great video. I do jobs like this day in day out and yet here I am, on a Sat morning, watching someone else do the same thing. Man, I love plumbing! Take care.

I brought the tapex kit last week, used it 3 times already and I got to say its definitely a handy tool, on the expensive side but will pay for itself in no time.

Another awesome vid! So, as I'm training up, I'll throw it out there...I think I'm right in thinking there "should" be single check valves before the iso... As it's mixer tap.but In reality are they ever really fitted?! Probably a check valve on the cylinder I suppose for hot but what if the cold is off the mains ...

@Kosmonooit 3 года назад

Although there is an o ring on that base sometimes the seal is not 100%, What I do to avoid seepage through the hole is clean up the surface on the basin with some acetone or isopropyl alcohol, and then put a gasket of clear marine silicone. Proper seal.

Hi, great video cheers. Just one thing, if I can shut the water off under the sink with the two shut off valves , when I have done everything and I am ready to put the water back on, do I need to do the thing like you did re the building the pressure back up? Cheers. 😊

@azursmile 2 года назад

Not an expert, but it looks like it. The point is to not have lots of pressure building if you've missed or under tightened something..

Great and informative video mate. I changed a tap in my kitchen a couple of years ago (I know cool story bro) which confused the hell out of me. Like the one you did the water went in through the 2 flexies but then it came back down again through the locking nut and back up through the tap. As I’m not a plumber it tuck me ages to work out why it was gushing water out. Not sure if that makes any seance the way I described it lol 😂…. see you on Thursday SEND
