    Hi all, Bathroom basin hot water tap has slow drip. Want to replace the washer (if possible) but have no idea how to remove the knob head to get at the gubbins. It has no obvious grub screws 'round the back. Both knobs have always wobbled a bit and it only requires quarter-turn to go fully...

    Pressure to shower head

    See pics. They want more pressure to the shower head but want the cheapest option. Any suggestions? Water pressure to the bathroom is good it's just the shower head that's a bit tame. My suggestion would be to fit a new bar shower and a pump. What else could be done?

Would about 1-1.5 bar suffice...
