    Mixer Tap Cartridge change advise.

    Hi Our kitchen mixer tap is leaking around the bottom. Unsure where the leak is coming from but suspect/hope a new cartridge will fix it. I am not a confident DIY guy, our mains pressure is really high and so plumbing makes me nervous 😂 but I feel like this is a job I should really be able to...

    Low pressure mixer spray tap recommendations ?

    I'll be installing a new kitchen, DIY, and the Mrs wants a mixer tap with a switchable spray/regular flow. No pullout with hose but more like one with a spiral round the outer hose that lifts out of a mount and you can move it about a bit. Something like you see on catering sinks. Now stay with...

    Hi All, I hope you are doing well. I have this old-school bathtub mixer tub. I think there is something wrong with it. When I pour cold water then I have to wait for hot water twice or 3 times longer like cold water (higher pressure) forces itself into the hot water pipe otherwise how to...

    I need to replace the washer of my kitchen mixer tap as it is leaking. I was able to remove the spout once by unscrewing the screw on the back of the tap. However now I can't remove it again as it seems I must have used the wrong screw head and have rounded off the head. Please see attached...
