Just wanted to say thanks. I'm a single female homeowner and my kitchen tap died. I had to go out and buy some box spanners but once I had those bad boys I was able to follow your video perfectly. I definitely ignored your tip of labelling the hot and cold and ended up fitting them the wrong way around first time... 🤦‍♀️ But it was no bother to go back underneath and swap them back. All working now and every time I see my new shiny tap I'll have a little smile 😃 Thanks!!

The fact you cover so many variables and options is amazing. Mate I’m literally upgrading my house one step at a time by following your videos!! Legend!

[ianspencer]

Very well explained, this kind of job can be very challenging under the sink so glad you mentioned to check that you have not disturbed any other plumping in the process. Good work.

[davidoakley]

Mate you are like a breath of fresh air. I followed your video step by step and replaced my taps in the kitchen I would never ever have thought I. Could do that thanks for explaining it so easily

Great vid. Gave me the confidance and I fitted my kitchen tap this weekend, it was very tight so I used my car socket set and fitted the box spanner on the end, worked a treat.

[jamesramone]

Thank you ever so much. With your educational sharing of this process my wife and I just replaced our kitchen tap. I don’t consider myself massively practical but by breaking the process down into steps, this helped give me the confidence to undertake this work. Thank you.

Thanks for a reasonable instruction. I made a mistake and watched one guy's video who advised to tighten the tap connectors into the tap as strongly as possible and not by hand but with pliers... I did that and only later I noticed other guys saying is isn't any good to squeeze the hell out of those o-rings as they might even break. So I was furious because the channel with these wrong instructions was by a supposedly professional parts shop. I hate when sources pretending to be competent turn out to be just wrong. Thanks again.

This is yet another brilliant video. I feel fairly confident now to replace my dripping mixer tap. I have used the isolater valve to reduce wasting water, or I just collected the drips in a jug. Now the isolater valves weep. I am a great fan of theese valves I had them on every tap and radiator in my last house. You will save me a FEW quid. Cheers.

Thank you! Its the little things like socket size others dont mention - you are so thorough!

[steveharvey]

Fantastic video! I’ve come round to visit my mum and she said she needs a new tap fitted in her kitchen, I’m pretty handy in DIY but never needed to replace this kind of tap?
Your video is an excellent instruction on every step of the procedure!!!
Will be visiting your site again 😃👍🏼

Excellent video. Explains the complexities of such a job with clarity. That said, on balance I'll probably engage a qualified plumber. Especially as my existing kitchen tap is beset with limescale issues.

Thank you for this! Just changed my kitchen tap without any issues! Saved me some money!

[Stargazer]

Thankyou so much for this video! I bought an ikea mixer tap very simular to youres in the video and had issues with flexy hose connection to the water supply. I now realise they supplied a compression flexible hose and I need a female 15mm flexi hose to tighten on to the male 15mm isolation valve! I have ordered these online amazon and will show up today!🙂 You're explanation was clear and now I can do it myself without paying for a plumber!💯👍🏾☺️

A great tutorial to show how easy it is. Word to the wise . The electrician should have had a thought to the placement of that socket below a water inlet pipe. It’s not illegal but not something I would not do unless necessary

[zemejal]

Thank you, you beautiful human being! Your videos have been quite helpful.
Recently changed a single socket for a double one and although it was hard work fighting against a concrete wall, the result was satisfactory.
Now I’ll dig into your plumbing videos.
Thanks again!

[drdonvito]

Job well done, not kitchen but bathroom basin. Same principle. Gave me clear idea and confidence. Thank you so much

[olavic]

Thanks so much. I've just changed my kitchen Tap just now, following your videos. Saved some money for the weekend.

Thanks and God bless 👊🏾

[jamie]

You're an absolute legend! Everything I want to know you seem to have a video for.

[BenRRR]

Your video really helped me changing the kitchen tap for the first time! All the tips were very welcomed! Many thanks and keep up the good work!

[ntiffin]

Really helpful! Just changed my tap today and needed to fit compression adaptors. Kept referring back to your video & it's now all sorted!
