    Thanks a million for this and all your videos. I really enjoy DIY especially plumbing stuff (weird hobby for a 33 year old female ha! If I was able to I'd train to be a plumber im stuck working for the NHS though)
    I've learnt so much from your TH-cam channel. I started off changing tap washers when the tap was dripping... Removed rads safely to decorate and replaced the old fixings.
    This year I've changed my bath, basin and kitchen taps to mixers (and invested in some copper pipe cutters because I wanted to swap to Flexi hoses with the bath)
    I've replaced my toilet inlet and flush...helped my neighbours out with little jobs, and the biggest job was probably changing my pedestal and basin (I learnt a lot through trial and error there, I didn't realise how tricky the whole thing would be like the waste, height of pedestal etc😅..)
    Now I'm wrapping up my latest project - fixing a friend's garden tap which had three holes in the copper pipe.. I've installed a new tap with double check valve inside and a drain off valve.. cut out the damaged copper pipe (5m up a ladder it's a flat) and deburred and measured and joined the new pipe..
    I'd never have had the confidence to do these jobs without you. It started as a money saving exercise as a single working Mum but it's turned into my hobby! there's nothing as satisfying as fixing those jobs that a lot of people wouldn't feel confident to. One of my favourite tips you've passed on was to use that copper pipe seal stuff that smells strangely nice... In a tin!
    Anyway a heartfelt thank you for taking the time to share your expertise 😊 for a novice DIYer it is priceless having someone teaching me over TH-cam with the experience you've got👍
    My next plan is to learn to weld pipes if that's the right word...Thanks again for your knowledge!😁

      Thank you so much for your kind comments and would love to use your comments in my community posts or perhaps a new video if you dont mind. Not many people take the time to do what you have done to let me know I have helped you along your way.
      Makes it all worthwhile thank you.

    Thanks for this. Dad helped me change kitchen taps as no garden hose connector fit the old ones. The cold tap changed fine, no leaks. The hot tap kept leaking under the sink. We did use PTFE tape, but it still kept leaking. Dad didn't realise the swivel nut had a washer. So off to B&Q to get some washers and to be safe some plumber's mait (which he prefers to PTFE)

    Been changing taps today. One of those 5 minute jobs that ended up taking me 3 hours lol. Then I had the leak from where you have just pointed out. So tomorrow I shall get the washer and also one of those basin spanners. Never struggled as much trying to loosen /tighten anything in such an awkward place and I'm no lightweight and not that nimble 😂.
    Massive help. Thank you very much 👍

    Hi Al. Thanks so much for this video and really clear explanation. Bought a basin spanner for less than £5, and a new washer, and this turned out to be a really easy job - saved having to find a plumber, and I felt so pleased that I could just do this myself after watching your advice. 😀

    Thank you. I just replaced my old basin taps (faucets) in the bathroom that were connected to flexi-pipes, and no matter what I did I couldn't resolve the steady weep. I even tried over-tightening and adding PFTE tape - a big mistake). I eventually sorted this out by simply replacing the rubber washer in the flex-pipe (the end that connects to the tap /faucet) and then just hand tightening as much as I could and then gave it a quarter turn with the wrench. Suffice to say all is good.

    We have a Pop-up basin waste that is operated using a lever and rod mechanism. Water leaks from the hot water tap under the basin when 1) I clean this basin, or 2) when the rod mechanism is used to engage the plug. After a while it rectifies itself and stops leaking. Very confused, any ideas whats going on?

There's no visible water in my house but when I turn bathroom tap on its leaking through next doors kitchen wall. I was on a shared pipe but when this started over 1 year ago I was advised to put my own stop tap in which I have done and even when I switch it of I can still hear the water. I'm at my Witt's end united utilities have been out numerous times and not really helped I just keep getting passed from pillow to post they say it's plumbers responsibility plumber says it united utilities if I had any idear I rip my own wall down and fix it myself.

    • @dereton33
      @dereton33  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi Carol, the leak must be before the stopcock you fitted so your new stopcock will not turn it off. As the leak occurs when you open the bath tap the leak could be behind the bath, so well worth taking off the panel and having a look.

  • @123a-o5d
    @123a-o5d 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Any idea what the source of a leak (a very small one) might be when it comes from above the black plastic nut that holds a bath tap on? I have a washer there, between the nut and the bath. I assumed the leak was going to be the washer below as you explained but it is coming from higher up, right where the washer meets the bath... There is no water sitting around the taps above. I'm going to take it all apart to find the cause of the problem.

      He's got a point. In this day and age plumbers are only using copper and metal fittings because it enables them to make more money from the customer.

      @dereton33  9 ปีที่แล้ว

      Elliut Baker I will need to know whether your leak is from a fitting going into the boiler or the boiler itself. Al.

    Thanks for this. Dad helped me change kitchen taps as no garden hose connector fit the old ones. The cold tap changed fine, no leaks. The hot tap kept leaking under the sink. We did use PTFE tape, but it still kept leaking. Dad didn't realise the swivel nut had a washer. So off to B&Q to get some washers and to be safe some plumber's mait (which he prefers to PTFE)
