Hi all,
My partner and I recently bought a house and have been attempting to make the bathroom less fugly. I was removing the bath and shower taps to replace, but while removing the bath spout (which had no nut to undo), the threaded section of the pipe broke. I thought the bit that broke must be a part of the spout, so I took the spout in to Bunnings for advice on how to remove the broken bit of pipe from the copper pipe in the wall, but the plumbing guy there reckons the broken part is part of the pipe in the wall, not part of the spout. Does anyone know if there's a way to DIY a fix (either somehow replacing the spout or by stopping up the bath taps and covering them over and just using the shower taps from now on)?
Many thanks,
Simon
