What a great job he does. But it was sad that better homes & gardens on channel7 cut him of. They lose a great worker on there.

Saved me some money today. We couldn't turn the tap off this morning in the bathroom sink. This video, a quick trip to Bunnings and its sorted. Thank you for the lesson!

Very helpful, our taps were a lot 'gunkier' and the base a lot harder to remove -- we followed another tip which suggested pouring boiling water on them and that worked a treat. Now after putting up with the drip for months, we are drip free...

Thank you so much, I did it! Although there was only 1 little rubber ring on the cold tap, not two. But it worked! Unfortunately I can’t do the hot tap as I can’t unscrew the tap fixture, and I can’t get purchase on it with a wrench as it is too somooth.

Thank you very easy to follow for someone who isn’t handy at all. Thank you

[tarquinvangundy]

This was awesome, used today to walk me through the process thank you

[mademoisellem]

Thank you. It all worked well until I needed a pipe wrench to get the cold tap flange off. Another trip to the hardware store. But all done now, and no drips!

Great video!
My cover is seized on. Gonna try the hot water tip some commenters have suggested

[kweizi]

Brilliant! Thank you for showing this.
The only thing different was my tap only takes 1 of those small black rubber washers.
