Great video, perfectly explained. I am a female without much experience in this field but thanks to your video I feel confident I can do the job, I really cannot afford a plumber. Thank you so much

Probably the homeowner noticed it leaking a little and then tried to over tighten it to stop it leaking and made it worse by completely breaking it... that's my guess, that's probably a common reason

That's exactly what happened, because I just did it and broke it lol. Came here to see how to fix it lol

Thank you! Good job. I’m a grandma of 77 years old in Holland ! Maybe now I can apply as a plumber thanks to you😂

"Why does the tap keep dripping?" "Because someone overtightened it" "Why did they overtighten it?" "Because the tap wouldn't stop dripping..."

Hi Bill, what advice do you have for an external tap that has flexible pipe inside brick? I'm looking to change my 3 taps outside, but a plumber had issues with one tap that was twisting the pvc inside the wall. Thanks.

@scottsnet Год назад

I have this exact problem at home! Thanks for inspiring me to fix it 🔧

You’re welcome 👍

@williamlove4599 Год назад

Thanks for the tutorial. If you call the pro out, they would generally replace the tap than spending the extra time fixing it right?

@billshowto Год назад

Depends on who you call out and what the issue is.

Mate always hold against yourself with another spammer otherwise you run the risk of something snapping off . Good luck to you

I am convinced the manufactures make the taps so tight that you have to throw it away and buy another as you can never replace the valves without ruining it. Thanks

All good but no sure about WD-40

How long for water to drain through once you off the water supply?

Absolutely brilliant! Love the feeling of being independent to do maintenance around the house at minimal cost. Don't get me wrong I do like to support local plumbers but if I can do it myself I will give it a go especially if the advice is just like what you have shown us. At first I thought the washer needed changing, the O ring was ok but in the end the original tap needed a full upgrade (1960's home). I also appreciate increasing my 'home maintenance speak' vocab. Cheers🥇🏅

Bill mate love ya videos I have a similar tap under the bathroom sink but its for the washing machine water intake the access is poor to say the least your tutorial helped immensely thank you

You should buy a Better Grip Wrench set, as they easily remove stripped fittings/nuts.

I really enjoyed what u did, thank u

@jackdawg4579 Год назад

we are all guilty of "he manning" taps shut long after we should have replaced the washers, but this looks like it was an extreme case!

@billshowto Год назад

Definitely 👍

And "she-wommaning" / "stripping" the seal when trying to get to the old washer...

@mickfalvey6045 Год назад

Well done Bill another very handy episode👍👍

@fanmengchen2323 Год назад

Good video Bill. i know you are careful not to put too much torque on a stuck spindle to unscrew in fear of bending or dislodging the cooper pipe base. Do you ever have to apply a heat source on it to facilitate the loosening of a stuck spindle ?
