Thank You so much, my plasticy tap handle just broke in half in my hand when i turned it, i was looking at the full on replacement of the tap, call a plumber, etc...but all i needed is to revive it like this in 2 minutes.
TH-cam at its best, thank you.

Thank you very much for this. I'm heading off to get the Reviviver Kit for a bathroom tap (£12) and then replace the cap myself. The handyman just quoted me £65 to have this done.

Thanks for watching twinkle. Earn as you learn! b33zo

50 quid for hours dirty work, remember the handyman has to travel to and from your home.

The hot and cold taps look the wrong way round. Surely cold should be on the right as you face the taps?

Nice vid. Can I get a riviver kit to fit any old taps. My tap heads are bad and I think the gland could do with a a change. So can I just do a quick swap.

Trying to replace bathroom taps in new to us property..the old tops won't budge..fully worn out (corrosion)..do I wd40 it and hope or just buy the whole taps?

[@b33zo]

Thanks for watching Chris. Buying new taps is the easy bit. Fitting them is where it gets interesting. Firstly I would make sure that and new 'reviver' tap heads will definately fit. If they do I would find out where the method of isolating the water supply is for these taps so that if anything 'unfoseen' occurs you dont end up swimming out of your bathroom. Then just get serious with your old taps. If the heads still dont come off you can impress your significent other by fitting shiny new taps. Good luck sir. b33zo

@@b33zo thanks for the reply ..I managed to replace the heads using the reviver kit in the end..it took a while because of the limescale build up..

Nice one Chris@@chrisr9199

Do we need to turn off the water?

[@b33zo]

@solgwyn2333 thanks for watching. If you want to replace the whole brass valve you must isolate the tap by turning the water off. If you just want to replace the shiney tap head you can leave the water on. b33zo
