Great video, perfectly explained. I am a female without much experience in this field but thanks to your video I feel confident I can do the job, I really cannot afford a plumber. Thank you so much

Thank you! Good job. I’m a grandma of 77 years old in Holland ! Maybe now I can apply as a plumber thanks to you😂

Absolutely brilliant! Love the feeling of being independent to do maintenance around the house at minimal cost. Don't get me wrong I do like to support local plumbers but if I can do it myself I will give it a go especially if the advice is just like what you have shown us. At first I thought the washer needed changing, the O ring was ok but in the end the original tap needed a full upgrade (1960's home). I also appreciate increasing my 'home maintenance speak' vocab. Cheers🥇🏅

Good job man, my tap leaks like crazy from the top so now i know why and how to fix it

[johnnywarbo]

I am convinced the manufactures make the taps so tight that you have to throw it away and buy another as you can never replace the valves without ruining it. Thanks

You should buy a Better Grip Wrench set, as they easily remove stripped fittings/nuts.

Probably the homeowner noticed it leaking a little and then tried to over tighten it to stop it leaking and made it worse by completely breaking it... that's my guess, that's probably a common reason

Hi Bill, what advice do you have for an external tap that has flexible pipe inside brick? I'm looking to change my 3 taps outside, but a plumber had issues with one tap that was twisting the pvc inside the wall. Thanks.

Good video Bill. i know you are careful not to put too much torque on a stuck spindle to unscrew in fear of bending or dislodging the cooper pipe base. Do you ever have to apply a heat source on it to facilitate the loosening of a stuck spindle ?
