I wanted to do some work on my ensuite shower but no way to isolate it. I removed a bit of platerboard from the wall in room behond it to expose the pipes (gery plastic Hepworth 15mm) and got a plumber out to fit a couple of isolation valves. Both valves are leaking very slowly, just a drip over a few hours. He has been back a couple of times and tightend them, put some paste around the pipe and valves but it is still dripping. He said they are just difficult to get to seal up.
Any advice as to what I can do now? Are Iso valves on plastic pipe (with inserts) the best way? Would the Hep2O valves work better or should I maybe take them off and put some PTFE tape on the threads? Would I just make things worse?
Thanks
