- This is three most common causes for leaking and dripping taps and how to fix them DIY. I will show you what plumbers don't want you to know and save you thousands of dollars. Leaking drippings taps are due to the washers having a poor seal. this can be due to bad washers that need to be replaced or a worn out tap seat. The washer is simple to replace and i will show you step by step how to do it. The tap seat can either be restored with a resurfacing tool or you may need to replace the tap seat. Don't pay a plumber to remove your bathroom tiles and replace the tap assembly. There is a much easier and cheaper way to do it yourself for around $45.

Make sure the main water supply is turned off first👍👍👍👍
So glad you mentioned to turn off mains water stopcock at front of residence. This is an awesome video covering beginner washer replacement, intermediate refacing seats, and advanced replacement of tap seats for DIYers. Thank you so much.
you’re very welcome 👍
A great suggestion.
Also put the plug in the sink or bath tub so nothing goes down the drain! Many people dont do that and they lose things.
HELP 😢 PLEASE! I followed your video on how to do a simple washer change and now when I turn the bath taps on, water is coming through the wall.... What have I done wrong?
Bloody brilliant Bill. My dad (retired plumbing industry) was very disappointed when I told him I fixed it myself with this videos help. He had even gone to his shed to get his old tool box.
Magic. Thanks for this video. The new tap seat is what i was hoping for. Never new you could do that. You have saved me a plumber bill. Thank you so much.
You’re welcome 👍
Your a legend
I Had no idea that you could simply tap in a new valve face
A big thank you as I'm on the brink of having to change my bathroom sink washers myself 🤦♀ girl power to the rescue. I have to rummage through my fathers tool box to find the needed tools do most of the task. Watched this job done many times as a child so wish my luck 🤞
Finally the solution. I had a micro crack in the seat and I have tried reseating this about 4 times and feared I was getting close to flogging it out for good. This has fixed the problem. You are a legend Bill.
Tap spanner! Thank you for using the name so I don’t have to walk around Bunnings showing teens a screenshot of some metal hexagon
Another great, helpful video. Well done Bill. Your explanations are perfect, not over complicated and give confidence to the home handyman that they could do just about anything around the home.
You’re welcome 👍
Love it. If you added a part about installing quarter or half turn taps, that could save even more money and effort for homeowners.
That may have to be a separate video. I’ll add it to my list 👍
Yes please
Keep putting these simple and informative videos out Bill… fantastic work mate!!
👍👍👍
Thanks Bill. You are a legend. I find your videos are very practical and useful. All explained in a very thorough and straight to the point DIY friendly way.
You’re welcome, glad I can help👍
Thanks for your video. I've never experienced a plumber actually flushing the taps after reseating, so now I know why I have to keep getting them back to fix dripping taps! Ceramic disc taps are the way to go though.
Great video Bill, I love the knock-up you made, excellent stuff. I was amazed 20 years ago when I came to Australia, that these old fashioned taps were still a thing. Ceramic washer taps were unheard off 😂
Cheers mate, been following you for awhile. Always a pleasure👍
👍👍👍👍
Thanks Bill. Great video that I will share with my daughter.
Can you make a video comparing the various materials used in hot & cold tap washers. There are so many choices, cheap & expensive, soft & hard, plastic & brass stems. Some wear out quickly.
Thanks so much @billshowto I'm an elderly lady and my husband no longer can do handyman work. I'm excited to learn from you. I'm so very sad my husband is no longer able but it does mean I now get a chance to do things. Blessings and Thanks 😊❤😊
superb video, id defo recommend turning off mains and flushin a toilet or running a tap to remove any system pressure!!
FANTASTIC, AND EXTREMELY WELL PRESENTED. SIMPLY EXPLAINED DIFFICULT ACTIONS.
I LEARNT A LOT.
GREAT JOB.
I ACTUALLY HAVE A MASSIVE LEAKING TAP, AND NEED TO RESEAT THE COLD WATER. THE PLUMBER MADE IT WORSE.
You’re welcome 👍
Very well explained. Well done!
As always, easy-to-follow instructions and valuable information. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks a million, it's so easy and quick to do as long as you have that Tap Spanner. Annoying drip now gone after replacement washers.
I knew the first 2 tips but had no idea about the last. Great to know.
Thanks for your insights.
You’re welcome 👍
Excellent, I learned something new, thank you. I'd like to return the favour. The word "debris" (French word pronounced "debree" is like the word "rubbish" and doesn't ever have an "s" or "es" on the end. Example - "Clean out all the debris". Thank you, I have a fix for my problem. 😁
Cheers mate! Appreciate your input and insight on such a simple repair that almost anyone can do. 👍🏼
Great building advice for the many Bill, always awesome.
Thank you Bill a very well-made and perfectly explained video.
You’re welcome 👍
Great Mate. That is exactly what i needed. Tried to shave but that did work so I am going to do exactly what you have shown us.
cheers Bill, very timely. I have a set of taps that are leaking again that I did the tap seats in years ago, I'm hoping another go with the reseating tool will do the job, but that hydroseal looks like a game changer if it doesnt!
👍👍👍
Great video I've done steps 1 and 2 for years to fix my taps but always thought how can I fix a tap fitting which has been refinished multiple times, never knew about the rethreader kit!! Will keep that in mind, if I ever get that far up s*^t Creek!!
Thanks Bill, another informative video.
Coming from a first time home builder, your videos are always my go to when it comes to home improvement 🤙🏻
Unfortunately the way new houses are being built including mine, maintenance and repairs come much quicker than they should. Hope all goes well👍👍👍
Bro you are the man!!
Good job. That kit's been around for years. Haven't had a tap where I've had to go that far, but it's a good s option if required. There's one leak which is rare but you can add it to your list and that is the spindle o-ring.
I have done a few videos on this but on shut off valve’s. Exactly the same process but I’ll add it to the list in case people can’t find them👍
Thanks Bill, I knew you would had a video on this. Great work like Always. Now onto the toilet running 😁
Great video, I have ordered all the bits shown in your video and I trust you will get an Amazon affiliate link. I did not know about the reseat replacement damn good idea. Cheers
You’re life saver ! Love your channel
This is gold , thanks heaps mate, this is the exact problem I have!!!
Thanks Bill for this excellent plumbing lesson👍👍
👍
Top video mate. I’ve not seen these kits before. I thought the only option was just to reseat the old one. I recon teflon tape might be the go instead of lock tight though, as who knows, the replaced seat might need replacing again in 20 or so years. Thanks for sharing!
Loctite 567 .
Great demo
Thanks for this, super helpful
Thanks mate your videos are fist class so professional.I am surprised you don’t have any sponsors. 👌👍😊
helps at times to open the tap a turn before you try to loosen the spindle, then you are just working on the thread minus any pressure/friction from the washer
Well done Bill..You only need to view the size of Plumber's advertisements to conclude many charge like wounded Bulls..
Just a shout-out... Man, these are seriously impressive how-to videos.
Great video Bill. Very helpful
Quality content and video Bill.
👍
Fantastic vid Bill 👏 thanks heaps for sharing
Thankyou, I'm going broke buying new washers that don't make any difference, will try the drill reseater tool as my hand driven one does SFA.
Awesome presentation!!
Cheers Bill. You are a life saver 👍
hi mate, your video is really helpful, thanks. Can you add a link of socket spanner you used in the vedio? I couldn't find the right one on the market😅
Thanks Bill. Great video.
I love this channel I have learnt so much I can do myself around the house. Thanks Bill ! :)
Thanks Bill! Followed your steps and it worked perfectly! :):) :):)
Nicely done!
Great plumbing video, just gotta question, how did u remove the old seat?
This is so helpful - thank you
We took the head of put in the reseating tool then put a new washer job done as good as new.
Great video Bill❤
Legend. Super easy to follow. 👍
👍 Don't tell a plumber 😂
Lol, they’re all watching too👍
Great video thank you. Does the new seat simply sit over the old one after the new thread has been created?
Great video! Thank you.
I wondered why I had metal shavings coming out of my shower head, now I know I had a useless plumber 🤦🏻♀️ thanks for this 🫶🏻
Thanks Bill 👍🏻 awesome 👏
Let's get straight into this guys, let's do this 👌
👍
Great tutorial for the girls, thanks.
👍
with the tap seat replacement, it may still leak if the threads were made a little loose, and you can fix that with a bit of thread sealer
Super good video Bill!
Too easy. Awesome video. Subscribed
I've been putting up with the ensuite cold dripping for months... Ill have a rack this week, Legend cheers 🍻
👍👍👍
I ment crack at it 🤣
Thank u so much man i fixed my shower but the tub is a priblem i i put in the new seat but spout is still leaking could it be the spout???
Thank you so much Bill 👍
👍
perfect,thanks mate
Mate just joined your channel. Love your work ! Cheers
You're a legend
Thanks 🙏
Thanks
I have found is easier to reseat then put new 1/4 turn ceramic tap good for 100 years. Just clean the seat up with the tool no need for the insert if putting in the ceramic tap. Has its own seat. Bit expensive though. But I was desperate very old house.
Mate amazing. 🎉
Hi, great video. What would you suggest would be the problem if you had a ceramic tap which was leaking? Same procedure?
Thanks bro
My seat is worn. There is about 1.5 mm of metal above pipe. The erosion is about 1mm above good metal. I'm wondering if still possible.
Love it great job
Hi Bill, don't forget to tell everyone to turn their main water tap off before they attempt this.
👍
Hey Bill, if after reseating, new washers, valves etc and there's still a slow slight drip is that when you replace the seat itself with the tool shown in this clip? I think the answer is yes but wanted to ask before going ahead 🤣 After that next step is calling a plumber cos I only did new new bits and bobs listed above only 12 months prior 😢
I did this year's ago and made it go from a drip to full flowing water that I couldn't turn off. Ended up costing 1000 to get a plumber to fix it. Not sure what I did wrong or how they fixed it without removing tiles
Can you do a video about old taps that have the hot ans cold coming out of 2 separate outlets
Thank you!! 👍
👍
The hardest part of the process so far has been that my tap cover does not just screw off lefty loosey, with 40 years of corrosion :)
legend - great vid
Hey bill can you still shave the seat on the hydro seal or does it have to be the original seat?
Thank you
Looks like Estilo Chrome Wall Top Assembly, $26.98 @ Bunnings
I must have missed a step. why do we need to make new threads to install the new tap seats? couldn't the old tap seats be removed and screw in the new tap seats?
Excellent
With that last tool....how many times do i spin it or do i spin until it wont anymore? Thanks
after replacing the valve when I close the tap I have to tighten the tap so hard. does this means it's a worn out tap seat
This new tapseat won't be able to use the large dome tap washers since those require extra room which the tap seat has taken up...
When replacing the tap seat why do you need to make new threads, the previous seat would have had threads?
Great vid. My shower spindles are covered with some sort of clear silicone, preventing me from unscrewing them. Can i cut around this to unscrew the spindle?
You can cut the silicone out. The silicone is sometimes used to create a waterproof seal and prevent water from making its way into the wall cavity
@@billshowto Do i need to put more silicone down once im done changing the washers?
