Mixer tap leaking from body. 

I swear you almost have me believing I could do this stuff! (Oh, but I know better -- that's why I'm smart enough to hire folks like you who CAN!) And your Surf California 1964 T-shirt is bitchin', as we would say here in Cali in 2020!

That particular tap design is the one that I hate the most. Simply changing the cartridge is a pain. The only place for that tap is the scrap bin. If a customer supplies one, I give them a stern warning.

I wish I found this video sooner. I have spent the last 3 days buying and trying every size washer known to man and none of them work. I have been so confused, your video has made things a lot clearer. Thank you

Thank you so much! Followed your instructions, replaced the tap myself! :-)

Glad you're well and this channel still going strong 💪 Still watching from Philippines 😊

Deeply depressing - the throwaway society!

I realise you know your trade but it seems really excessive and wasteful to renew a complete tap for just a tiny leak. Do these taps get re-cycled with all new washers or do they just get dumped?

Hi need your advice my combi boiler unit is on (3 port valve connection) but no hot water in my shower and taps and my pump there is a leak from shaft seal Thanks

What a star you are. You have just saved us wasting our time trying to get to the 'O' rings and then trying to find new ones. My partner was getting so frustrated. Thank you so much.👏👏👏

I suppose with the higher priced taps, the seals would be easier to get and replace. Or are they for the skip too once they fail?

Mine leaks and I was going to look through your video's to see if you had one on how to fix it, you must have read my mind lol, i'll not bother now and get it replaced instead.

I find taps are so cheap to buy now days that repairs are not worth doing 👍

I love seeing how they construct the taps. Very informative. Thank you 😊

Hi, excellent video. I couldn't figure out how to get the swivel part off, but your video answered that! Cheers

Really helpful video thanks! How much of an issue is a leaking tap in terms of water waste? Ours seems to drip from the base when used and then occasionally when other tapware in the house is turned on. We are hoping to renovate our kitchen in a year or so and wondered if it would be ok to wait to install a new good quality tap then?

A very helpful video. Yep, getting the correct O rings is probably impossible. Thanks for the great tip.

For some reason that chrome cap that allows access to the cartridge just turns and turns on mine but doesn't actually unscrew, help !!!

Long before finding this video I struggled a couple times with stopping that small (BUT HUGELY IRRITATING TO THE WIFE) leak. No such luck. Rather than torque those sleeves to death I went to good old RU-vid and searched and entered a lot until I arrived here. I went down from the top and found a hard plastic, thin white ring with a break but larger than the one in the repair kit. All together, NOPE, leak still there. Going to hit the 3 stores in town to buy a full replacement.

Great video! Could I ask a question..our kitchen mixer tap seems to be leaking from the very base (ie where the chrome sits on the countertop) and not just from the base of the spout. Do you think this can be fixed by replacing the o-rings and/or the tap cartridges, or should I be looking for something else? Many thanks in advance!

Thankyou you answered my qs What's best to do ..buy a new one 😊

Awesome helpful video. Saves me heaps of time and frustration 🥳

Brilliant time saver , WAY Easier solution makes sense 2ME

Hi Dereton. Can you tell me plz how to stop dropping tap. It has slim lever handles and it's the right lever. If I push it back v tight it stops for a while but then starts dropping again.

Thank you! After watching your great video, my Tap will be replaced.

"Made by our usual friends in China..." floored lol

How long should a tap actually last? Ours is Phoenix x, and was new when we bought the house, but that was only 4 years ago!

I'm sure other people have noticed . Modern Taps have too many rubber seals that always leak and can't be replaced.

Thanks. My tap has served me for 16 years so probably time to replace. However, not looking forward to replacing it myself, the place might get flooded :-).

Too much palava. Just replace as you recommended

The plumber fixed my leak of my pump, but hot water not much hot. i need your advice why my hot not give much ? what is the problem?

THANK YOU SO MUCH I WILL NOW GO AND BUY NEW TAP

Hi my friend your videos are great keep up the great work thankyou

Thanks again for great insight to replacing these types of taps.

Good info, thank you

Thank you, very useful info.

Hi al I have a leak coming from the backnut how can I fix this thanks al

Hi Al,. Do you remember the tap you fitted a while ago, the one with the pull-out hose? Just ordered one and the price has now gone down to 40 quid. How's yours holding up?
