Amazing work James
I guess I am quite off topic but does anyone know a good place to stream newly released tv shows online ?
Could you help? I just replaced a tap with a new IKEA one and it's leaking around the bolt and olive joint on the hit water side. A steady trickle. I tried tightening it more but it still leaks. The other one tightened up nicely without any extra effort. I've had to shut the water off til I fix the leak.
You will never know what this video meant to me.
Fixed and fitted my leaking bathroom tap at FIFTY FIVE YEARS OLD.
FIRST TIME EVER.
Love and respect for this great video.
Priceless lol
Legend, well done mate. I'm going to give this a blast tomorrow for the first time after this! Wish me luck!
Im so glad im not the only one who talks to old taps, but ill never talk to plastic fittings.
Sir, you are lifesaver. My basin tap broke last night. I watched this video early this morning, ordered the piece on Amazon same day delivery, and just fixed it. Total cost: £27.99 for the new tap. Seeing how easily I fixed this thanks to you, I am now ordering the flushing system for my toilet, which has been leaking. Gonna fix that tomorrow after watching your video about that. Thanks so much for uploading this kind of stuff. It really makes a difference. Cheers.
Hello. Can I ask which toilet flushing video it was that you watched, please? I need to fix my Dad's loo...
Thanks!
This little ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxVoi3B4CB6Oygq1-vo4OTL1M_M5JkrXif tub works perfect in our 6 x 6 shower and is easy to get in and out. Also easy to drain.
Mate that tap spanner is genius!! Just been looking at my tap like oh man how am I gonna do this
I used a deep socket and extension from a quality 3/8 socket set to get the nut out. Mine was a 9mm nut.
Thanks managed to change my bathroom
Tap without the need for plumber or ex husband who is a plumber 🙌
Very helpful, thank you. My son kindly offered to change my basin tap for me and I watched the video before 'helping' him. It didn't exactly go smoothly, but he was ultimately successful and I was able to offer some helpful comments along the way (to balance out the annoying ones).
Thank you for this video! It’s super clear, I was able to change my taps in under 10 minutes with no mishaps! 👍🏾
That's quite impressive!
Nice tip about building the pressure locally by opening the bath taps 👌
Im just passing by to say thank you for making this video, honestly. I have next to no DIY skills and I have always been a bit daunted by getting stuck in as I have zero experience (especially plumbing or electrics).
Well, 3 weeks ago one of the hoses under our basin burst. After we finished drying the bathroom out, we called a plumber we have used in the past. To replace the pipe (and the tap) he quoted us £200.
Not knowing any better, we agreed. However, he then vanished off the face of the earth...
...So I watched your video about 5x and built up the courage.
£30 on a new tap and about 25 minutes of my time and we now have a new tap and hoses fitted.
Thank you, so much. Your videos give people like me the confidence to give it a go!
Bloke kinda looks like Bradley cooper, sweet vid mate, great help thanks heaps!
Hi Plumberparts, your video helped to replace my bathroom basin mixer Tap. Your saved me Plumber's charge. You are very funny, Cathy loves you so much I can tell. And your T-Shirt is funny too. Thank you so much for saving my money. God Bless you and your family Sir.
What a lovely comment! YT needs more people like you, Joseph! 😄
Hey you! Thanks for your vids, it’s so cool that someone seems to genuinely want to help people out. I’ve used your tips for at least 1 thing in every room in my house. You are a proper legend. Cheers!
Only today I was under a basin trying to remove the nuts on the tap wishing I had a longer box spanner. That's a great little tool you had made. Wish I had one today 😂😂
I already know how to do this, yet I’m still watching the video 😂🙈
Me too! 😂 some good suggestions in the comments I didn’t know about though
I did change it but still watching!!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Thanks for the video just changed my first tap successfully 👍🏻🤞🏻
I absolutely LOVE your videos you’ve helped me with so many jobs in the house 😃
Thanks for an informative and interesting introduction to the process of changing a bath room tap set.
Thanks for the video. I am changing my bathroom bath tab taps as they are old and leaking.good information. Thanks again.
Oh yes. About to give this a go. Wish me luck 😂🎉
When ive struggled with tap spanners ive used a socket on end of spanner with extension bar
Thank you for the video! It helped me to change my bathroom tap but boy was it fiddly?!! I can see why you made your special tool to release the bolts because it took me about 20 attempts to find the right combination of tools. Once I found it the job was quite easy!! Thank again
really good video, Thanks mate!
Well done on this tutorial mate. Helped me fix my leaking tap in under an hour!
I had no idea hot is always on the left. The things you learn! Much like the spout on the fuel pump icon on a car dashboard tells you which side of the car the filler is on :)
Supposed to be but ive worked in many houses mainly associations where hw has been on right
Cheers for the vid helped me out good and proper 👊🏻
Thank you! Your demonstration saved me a lot of money!
Brilliant. Looking forward to having a go. Thankyou
Great instructional video. Thank you.
Thanks, broke my mums bathroom taps 😢 this will help
Thank you so much. That was very entertaining.
You are a STAR!!! Thank you so much for this video… thought I would give it a go myself and thanks to your clear instructions it was a doddle… keep up the great work! 😊
Thank you for explaining this ,learning a lot from your video,so now I can change my flexihoses on my basin mixer tap
Lovely clear and entertaining video.im fitting new basin taps so was nice to confirm the tap connectors on the tap end only do up hand tight.cheers
if changing the ballofix I would have dropped both down a few inches to take the curl out of the Flexi tails
Iv got a good tip for ya James if you leave the nut oven the end of the slotted end so it’s a little proud it won’t splay when you tighten with a flat head screwdriver and rad valve stepping tool fits in the end of the box spanner’s making the ratchet 👍🏻
Can you explain this a bit more for diy?
Appreciate this thank you 🙏
Excellent stuff, this has helped me install a new tap and basin. Much thanks!
very honest and clear instructions, very good content and very helpful. thank you :-)
The legend continues
Brilliant, thank you. I don’t have valves on my sink but I’ll fit them with confidence now.
this dude is just real cool. 100%
Thanks!
Helpful thank you
Champion, thanks bro.
Thank you
Love your videos mate. Managed to refit my bathroom based on them! 💪🏻
same here! 👍
Me too , that’s why it’s still not finished 😂
Little tip for people, a box spanner set comes with 3 sizes. Can put one in the end of another extending it. Thank me later
If they don’t all fit together (some budget “diy” ones don’t), you can also use a socket, extension bar & ratchet driver, if you also have those on your toolbox …
@@A13XW1 Probably a deep socket will be needed
Love the tip of opening the taps near to where you’re working! 👍🏻
You amazing person. Didn’t even need to watch the video after realising this
Flexi connections are so tight I can’t unscrew them, any tips? Great video!
after spending one hour turning the bolt the wrong way i finally acheived a new tap. wooo. bruised hands now haha
Job done with your help. Thanks bud
James, treat yourself to the Nerrad Tapex kit. There’s a handy angled joint connector for when you’re unable to come up directly from underneath. Great video. I do jobs like this day in day out and yet here I am, on a Sat morning, watching someone else do the same thing. Man, I love plumbing! Take care.
I brought the tapex kit last week, used it 3 times already and I got to say its definitely a handy tool, on the expensive side but will pay for itself in no time.
@@Creedmc85 Yes, thanks the price is what put me off from buying it initially but it has more than paid for itself over the last year.
Great Video James, it's good to see the nitty gritty of what could happen and tips on valve changes and pressure release on these jobs too. See you on Thursday #Alearmy
Cracking video fella came in use today!
Although there is an o ring on that base sometimes the seal is not 100%, What I do to avoid seepage through the hole is clean up the surface on the basin with some acetone or isopropyl alcohol, and then put a gasket of clear marine silicone. Proper seal.
Thanks for the video, you saved me 40 quid, cheers
Does there need to be some sort of a washer/seal between the bottom of the tap and then top of the basin, so it doesn’t leak? Or is it built in the new tap and just wasn’t visible
when you changed the isolation valve, did you use the old Knut and olive, or did you remove the old olive?
That’s what I’d like to know
Thank you
Love your content James, Please add link where we can buy those taps. Thank you 👍
love your work
Hi James great video for those new people, however I was taught not to put those rubber flexi's directly on to standard iso valves, I always use flat faced iso's
Any input around this?
I’ve always joined straight on to them with no problems 👍
@@lewisbromilow9046 the only reason I was told this is because of the "sharp" edges and not as much contact on to the rubber.
I've never seen it be an issue myself but I just stick to what I know :)
@@killerbean9911 That’s fair enough. Yeah everyone gets taught different ways with plumbing
File the end flat and you're good to go.
The ultimate has a video where he was told about the flat type, not all shops sell them. I would use them and hunt them out, less risk of cutting the rubber if connecting more than once I suppose
Great little video would have enjoyed the full monty though 😂 will let you know how I get on with my tap
great video James as always.
Brilliant video
Great video thanks ..confident to have a go myself now.
@7:16 And Bully's special priiiize!!
Thank you for sharing, you're absolutely amazing 👍
We had a boxer called Cassie. Beautifully loving dogs
Great video and excellent tips…
Hi, great video cheers.
Just one thing, if I can shut the water off under the sink with the two shut off valves , when I have done everything and I am ready to put the water back on, do I need to do the thing like you did re the building the pressure back up?
Cheers. 😊
Not an expert, but it looks like it. The point is to not have lots of pressure building if you've missed or under tightened something..
What tap make is it, did you say and maybe I missed it as I’ve never had one where they supply a box spanner with it?
excellent video ! I'm gonna change my tap as it feels stiff. I'm worried it will soon break. Do I just need to go to a plumbing merchant?
Brass or stainless steel? Witch one recommend for bath taps?
Many thanks!
Hi mate, which tools do I need to change any taps please?
Really informative
Can you do a video installing a bath filler and overflow and show it working. Please 🙏
just found out my wash basin does not have the flexi connectors that connect to the pipes. instead i have found the pipes go right up to the tap i can't see it but i can feel it. i have a wash basin with a unit built underneath it.
After watching the video i got great confidence. now after checking im very confused I'm i missing something?
hi, I ffollowed you and replaced sink tap but its leaking from where is the o ring , whats solution for that?
rhanks
Do you not use quarter turn brass shut offs for faucets in the UK?
clean and remove spider net before working
Bloody love this channel
Great thanks
Thank youuuuuuu master 👍💪💪💪😍😍😍💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝
I don't get it, you say you need to switch off both hot and cold water, do you need to mess with the gas as well? or just need to shut off main water?
My leak is coming from above the little screw on the isolator. Both isolator and tap are new - is it just the washer in the tap??
Our tap is leaking on the underside of the basin where the metal and rubber seal go. We recently had the cartridge replaced and the whole tap was taken out.
What do you think the problem could be? Do we need a new rubber seal?
Thanks
What was the tap called mate, and where can I get it?
Plumber replaced mine last week and when water is splashed it drips straight through around the tap should it have been sealed?
I have a sink which has a circular plastic tube connected (somehow) under the sink to a mixer tap inside the plastic tube is a metal tube and the flexi hoses. I cannot see and don't think there is room for there to be tap nuts so this must be a different connection. Any thoughts please ?
Great video. I note you aren't afraid to flex copper pipe (e.g. at beginning when you turn the isolation valve): I'm always nervous in case it puts strain on the soldered fittings - should I be?
The elbow/coupler itself will buckle before the soldered joint will "crack" (providing it's been done properly)
@@killerbean9911 that's great to know, thank you.
Those 15mm compression to ½ inch BSP male service valves - Screwfix and Toolstation seem not to have heard of them. Am I asking for the wrong thing?
You say give them a nip, but then when the pipes shift and move a little they loosen, so I always give them an extra tightness so they will not move until deliberately moved.
After using full bore butterfly valves at college i'd never use a ballofix RIP. I whacked out £145 on a nerrad tapex kit
For a second I thought I was watching Bradley Cooper doing a plumbing tutorial.
Hello. A little water is getting passed the seal on the base of the tap. How do i rectify this please?
The flex hoses where they are twisted could this slow the flow of water to the tap as if the hot is gravity fed?
Hi great video. What size tap spanner are you using thanks
