Dripping Mixer Tap | Leaky Faucet | FREE DIY Repair | Kitchen tap fix

[@richcunningham7596]

This fixed it for me! No need to replace anything...just a good clean required. 🙂

[@NeilCrowther-s7f]

Thank you for this. I was on the point of buying a replacement cartridge when I found your video. It really was an easy job to strip and clean the old one and my mixer tap no longer drips.

[@TheCarpentersDaughterUK]

Thanks for the vid! We didn't know how to access it and just nipped it up a quarter turn and it stopped dripping!

[@zarularif5466]

Your video are so detail.. We are so satisfied.. Your kindness last forever.. Thank you sir 😊🎉

[@timerkiert4731]

Thanks for the video. Ours has been dripping for a while but now have the confidence to fix it

[@shawndsouza8277]

The same here Daves, you are a Superstar! Our Hero! You saved the day!

[@pbwauthor]

very clear video, thanks - now I'll go and try it! 😃

[@m0rf92]

Very amazing video, it stopped my tap from dripping! Thank you!

[@TC-jg3cz]

Just done exactly this. Fixed my leaking tap. Thanks man.

[@shirleymallett9082]

Slightly different taps, but the innards were the same. Thanks for the help. :)

[@stephenlacey5784]

Thanks for this. I'm usually cackhanded at this sort of thing. Worked a treat. Would just query your choice of descaler and that you put your hand in it? I used 50% white vinegar and water.

[@harrybond9282]

EXCELLENT SIMPLE SOLUTION VERY NICE NO LANGUAGE BARRIER

[@liammarlow6052]

I've just been to toolstation and bought a new pair for £6, leak has stopped 👍

[@leonbailey2210]

Thank you so much, saved me a fortune

[@PoundShopOrwell]

Thank you for this but my taps have no grub screw so how do I remove them please?!

[@damo0078]

Remove red and blue colour caps at the sides of the taps revealing screws inside.

[@Goodfellaz999]

How do you find out if its the cold water cartridge or the hot water cartridge that needs cleaning or replacing if there's a drip from the faucet?

[@tommydrain6582]

You could pick the cold or hot inlet (isolator or gate valve) and if the drip stops then that's the tap that needs cleaned. If not it's the other but do the isolator test first to check,

[@kashfox1050]

This helped me fix our faucet. Though, I used a different approach because the reason why our faucet is leaking is different from the one on this video + our faucet's handle is a different one. Still, this video is a great help :) Thanks!!!

[@JamesMooreMarketing]

So they just need cleaning not replacing. Thanks ❤

[@sarkster]

Thanks. Managed to sort my leaking mixer a after watching this.

[@jonnyholt3944]

How do you know which cartridge needs cleaning or is it usually the cold? Or pot luck?

[@paulelemental2489]

Nice one Dave, stopped the missus nagging for a while...

[@mark.e.p]

Good video just make sure you get the correct cartridge as there's a few different sizes with different spindle lengths.

[@Kimbo__86]

Worked first go, legend thank you

[@AndyMJF]

I have a leak from the actual tap handle. So do i need to go through this exact same process?

[@joeburgess9131]

Thank you for this!

[@i.b.i3344]

Thank you Daves for the lesson..its encourage me to DIY..........

[@deepakb06]

Brilliant, thanks worked perfectly.

[@realaledrinker.]

Thanks for video... just saved me loads of money from getting a new tap... Happy days😁

[@michaelmcmillan8814]

How do you find out which tap is making the drip? Hot or cold?

[@1nker]

Thanks I’ll need to get a 17mm long socket to get the cartridge out.

[@andrewboyle9057]

Thank you so much. Worked perfectly!

[@MrJaikCampbell]

The music is superb. I didn't watch the video. I just stayed for the music... thanks...

[@danny24111961]

Many thanks for your Vedio saved the day

[@gilessteve]

A tiny dab of Lithium grease on the opposing faces of the ceramic parts worked for me.

[@SH-sf7qe]

Great video! Could I ask a question..our kitchen mixer tap is a similar design to the one in this video, but seems to be leaking from the very base (ie where the chrome sits on the countertop) and not just from the base of the spout. Do you think this can be fixed by replacing the o-rings and/or the tap cartridges, or should I be looking for something else? Many thanks in advance!

[@DavesdoorsCoUk]

Possibly the connectors (threaded ends on the flexible pipe connecting to the water supply) if not maybe inside the tap and a replacment needed...

[@SH-sf7qe]

@@DavesdoorsCoUk Thank you!

[@AwakeTruthSeeker]

Thanks for the info, but what were the actual tools you used to unscrew the tap handles and to unscrew the cartridges? Sorry, but I am a beginner to this.

[@DavesdoorsCoUk]

Socket wrench and Allen keys 👍

[@arunkurhe1]

What size Allen key you used to loosen the tap?

[@euandyer]

Can you remove the cartridge with pliers?

[@nameissuraj]

Desperately need to know the name of the tool used to remove the tap handle. Someone help please

[@nameissuraj]

@@docdelete thank you. Figured it out a bit later. The key hole was a bit inaccessible to take a decent pic and check. Later tried with the different Allens and bingo, one worked

[@MukeshKumar-yn4ff]

Please tell wht is tht tool?

[@ToysWithMinnieandBoo]

Wow thanks for the tip just want I needed to help me fix my leaky tap 👍

[@AbdulAhad-nb6wl]

What is the name of the tool you used to open the handle cap??

[@lanceflanagan]

That's just an alley key

[@dph9885]

@4:04 I thought he was going to drink the remaining descaling fluid

How to remove lever without a locking screw

[@thesecretlifeofhuman]

Great, if you already have all the tools and don’t need to fork out for them 😊

[@tine8849]

1:03 I undid the screw but my mixer tap handle isn't coming off, what now?

[@dicarpio2177]

Just tried this, put it all back together and now the tap wont turn off at all! Whoops!

[@devkainth7018]

Hi, thanks for sharing the video. I actually have a very similar tap. How do I find out what size cartridge I'd need? Also, mine is dripping from the hot side. I have a hot water tank (not combi boiler) how can this be isolated? For the cold side it's just the stop cock, I can see that.

[@wibble1956]

Great little vide

[@rishabhyanki2577]

This was helpful.. thanks

[@suzieflynn4783]

What is the tool that you used to take the tap handle off?

[@DavesdoorsCoUk]

A socket wrench

[@suzieflynn4783]

@@DavesdoorsCoUk thank you

[@DavesdoorsCoUk]

And Allen Key

[@briannapaulabrittanyramosy1857]

Theres a leak also on my faucet. But only drops. And ive checked my water meter its not rotating.why is that happening? But its is rotating when i really open the faucets

[@craigwatts9692]

Store the water and sell for profit

[@Euclidean3141]

Ok but you should have first said to prepare a glass of water for cleaning if shutting off the water supply at the mains before disassembling the tap 😂

[@damientech88]

Mine works nothing like this

[@robertgalka5388]

now drips twice as much,thanks a lot...
