HOW TO CHANGE OR REPLACE SINGLE BATHROOM BASIN TAP

Today I show you how to change or replace a single pillar bathroom basin tap. I'll show the plumbing and fixing of the tap, step by step, DIY.
This basin tap is leaking and I'm going to show you how to change it. Perfect for DIY ers, apprentices and homeowners. I'll show you turning off the hot and cold water, removing the old tap's flexible pipe connectors and plumbing. Unclamping the tap from the basin and installing, clamping and plumbing in the hot and cold water supply to the new tap (or faucet) plus even adding two new inline valves.

Amazing work James

[@leoamari6619]

I guess I am quite off topic but does anyone know a good place to stream newly released tv shows online ?

[@antipodeanvagabond]

Could you help? I just replaced a tap with a new IKEA one and it's leaking around the bolt and olive joint on the hit water side. A steady trickle. I tried tightening it more but it still leaks. The other one tightened up nicely without any extra effort. I've had to shut the water off til I fix the leak.

[@IbrahimPBah]

You've made me learn something about plumbing today, from your video. I now know how to rotate the valves, to stop the flow of water. My son broke the head of the basin tap, water was flowing continuously, and I couldn't get a plumber immediately, so I went to KZbin and found your video, which enabled me to stop the water flow. Thank you so much. Ibrahim.

[@ynothump2566]

You will never know what this video meant to me. Fixed and fitted my leaking bathroom tap at FIFTY FIVE YEARS OLD. FIRST TIME EVER. Love and respect for this great video. Priceless lol

[@gloriouskatatsumuri]

Legend, well done mate. I'm going to give this a blast tomorrow for the first time after this! Wish me luck!

[@pr-ji1ni]

Sir, you are lifesaver. My basin tap broke last night. I watched this video early this morning, ordered the piece on Amazon same day delivery, and just fixed it. Total cost: £27.99 for the new tap. Seeing how easily I fixed this thanks to you, I am now ordering the flushing system for my toilet, which has been leaking. Gonna fix that tomorrow after watching your video about that. Thanks so much for uploading this kind of stuff. It really makes a difference. Cheers.

[@MYRDDINAPGERAINT]

Only today I was under a basin trying to remove the nuts on the tap wishing I had a longer box spanner. That's a great little tool you had made. Wish I had one today 😂😂

[@tlbathrooms6526]

Little tip for people, a box spanner set comes with 3 sizes. Can put one in the end of another extending it. Thank me later

[@A13XW1]

If they don’t all fit together (some budget “diy” ones don’t), you can also use a socket, extension bar & ratchet driver, if you also have those on your toolbox …

[@robmtnet3000]

@@A13XW1 Probably a deep socket will be needed

[@bram7659]

Love the tip of opening the taps near to where you’re working! 👍🏻

[@georgehalabi6763]

You amazing person. Didn’t even need to watch the video after realising this

[@patrickdaniels6829]

Im so glad im not the only one who talks to old taps, but ill never talk to plastic fittings.

[@Nufleg]

Nice tip about building the pressure locally by opening the bath taps 👌

[@DjSamMuniz]

Bloke kinda looks like Bradley cooper, sweet vid mate, great help thanks heaps!

[@GoodMorningButch]

Thank you so much for this super clear video! My tap has been leaking a bit for a few months and this has given me the boost of confidence that I’ll be capable of replacing it myself.

[@rickywright6333]

Thank you for this video! It’s super clear, I was able to change my taps in under 10 minutes with no mishaps! 👍🏾

[@TheSlothrop23]

Hey you! Thanks for your vids, it’s so cool that someone seems to genuinely want to help people out. I’ve used your tips for at least 1 thing in every room in my house. You are a proper legend. Cheers!

[@mattshifu]

Excellent. Managed to replace a tap myself. Isolation valves did nothing though even when I turned them so had to turn mains off under sink. Thanks for the excellent video.

[@Crowcifixx]

Mate that tap spanner is genius!! Just been looking at my tap like oh man how am I gonna do this

[@Aesir5]

I used a deep socket and extension from a quality 3/8 socket set to get the nut out. Mine was a 9mm nut.

[@josephfernandes8555]

Hi Plumberparts, your video helped to replace my bathroom basin mixer Tap. Your saved me Plumber's charge. You are very funny, Cathy loves you so much I can tell. And your T-Shirt is funny too. Thank you so much for saving my money. God Bless you and your family Sir.

[@Liaxrobloxtheoriginal]

Great vid! I had to replace a tap in the downstairs loo, I wasn't sure if it was a job I would be able to do or call in a plumber. So easy after your vid! Gave me the confidence to carry out the job and keep the Missus happy!

[@PaulaSchmidt-cr7sq]

Very helpful, thank you. My son kindly offered to change my basin tap for me and I watched the video before 'helping' him. It didn't exactly go smoothly, but he was ultimately successful and I was able to offer some helpful comments along the way (to balance out the annoying ones).

[@24YT07]

I already know how to do this, yet I’m still watching the video 😂🙈

[@gregp1707]

Me too! 😂 some good suggestions in the comments I didn’t know about though

[@NataliaMartan]

I did change it but still watching!!

[@nubianess100]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@douglasmckee8132]

Thanks for the video just changed my first tap successfully 👍🏻🤞🏻

[@ramasoma2746]

Thanks for the video. I am changing my bathroom bath tab taps as they are old and leaking.good information. Thanks again.

[@fransam1961]

Excellent video. Nothing taken for granted. I have seen other videos where the rubber seal has been placed on top of sink under the tap, instead of between underside and sink....

[@us46816]

Oh yes. About to give this a go. Wish me luck 😂🎉

[@Sarah-Collen]

Great Video James, it's good to see the nitty gritty of what could happen and tips on valve changes and pressure release on these jobs too. See you on Thursday #Alearmy

[@richardlau395]

Great video. Thank you for all your efforts in posting. Lots of tips and tricks that most of us DIYers would never have thought of..until too late!

[@110thelight]

You are a STAR!!! Thank you so much for this video… thought I would give it a go myself and thanks to your clear instructions it was a doddle… keep up the great work! 😊

[@terrygriss4132]

Lovely clear and entertaining video.im fitting new basin taps so was nice to confirm the tap connectors on the tap end only do up hand tight.cheers

[@shaunhampson7884]

Fantastic vids I’ve done the loo and the sink I’m now building myself up to do the bath.. cheers.

[@Nas721]

Excellent stuff, this has helped me install a new tap and basin. Much thanks!

[@FrozenRoti]

Well done on this tutorial mate. Helped me fix my leaking tap in under an hour!

[@davidreuben7675]

Great to see you changed the valves that had stuck too, well done

[@dawnlaw8919]

Thank you for explaining this ,learning a lot from your video,so now I can change my flexihoses on my basin mixer tap

Thank you so much. That was very entertaining.

Great instructional video. Thank you.

[@glenyslloyd5117]

Brilliant. Looking forward to having a go. Thankyou

[@Peter-nu6ix]

Thanks for an informative and interesting introduction to the process of changing a bath room tap set.

[@mbarron651]

Thank you for the video! It helped me to change my bathroom tap but boy was it fiddly?!! I can see why you made your special tool to release the bolts because it took me about 20 attempts to find the right combination of tools. Once I found it the job was quite easy!! Thank again

[@mulyadisukindo2186]

Thank you for sharing, you're absolutely amazing 👍

[@Turbozee]

Cracking video fella came in use today!

[@noisyshaun]

Not gonna lie, my wee noodle arms were struggling to get the seized tail nuts off the valves but where they came into their own was reaching up into the tight space under the tap to get the screws off! Thanks loads for this video!

[@user-xb1kv3bt1q]

very honest and clear instructions, very good content and very helpful. thank you :-)

[@jamboSAFC]

When ive struggled with tap spanners ive used a socket on end of spanner with extension bar

[@ivanondov8826]

Love your content James, Please add link where we can buy those taps. Thank you 👍

[@ratchriat1716]

great video James as always.

[@kennymackinnon8145]

Job done with your help. Thanks bud

[@Georger392]

Thank you for your information

[@martinkelly7940]

Can you use flexible tap connectors with built in isolator valves, would you recommend them?

[@stuartwilliams6744]

Cheers for the vid helped me out good and proper 👊🏻

[@sammajor7654]

Such a useful video! Cheers PP!

[@bencolombia337]

Champion, thanks bro.

[@FreeFrogWatching]

love your work

[@olliemackie7964]

Another awesome vid! So, as I'm training up, I'll throw it out there...I think I'm right in thinking there "should" be single check valves before the iso... As it's mixer tap.but In reality are they ever really fitted?! Probably a check valve on the cylinder I suppose for hot but what if the cold is off the mains ...

[@adamhetherington520]

Wheyyyy...Cassie makes another Cameo appearance! Great video as always James!

[@DannyRobinson92]

Appreciate this thank you 🙏

[@tundeuk]

The legend continues

[@stupossibleify]

I had no idea hot is always on the left. The things you learn! Much like the spout on the fuel pump icon on a car dashboard tells you which side of the car the filler is on :)

[@jamboSAFC]

Supposed to be but ive worked in many houses mainly associations where hw has been on right

Hi great video. What size tap spanner are you using thanks

[@ginahemmant3403]

Really informative

[@Cyrus_Shokan]

excellent video ! I'm gonna change my tap as it feels stiff. I'm worried it will soon break. Do I just need to go to a plumbing merchant?

[@limak859]

Many thanks!

[@kevinbuckley7851]

Cheers buddy like the pressure tip. 👍

[@plumberparts]

Cheers man

[@A13XW1]

Flushing the toilet after the water’s turned off also helps, as some of the pressure drops while the cistern fills.

[@ralphhardie7492]

Great thanks ☺️

[@MJ-ce6tv]

James, treat yourself to the Nerrad Tapex kit. There’s a handy angled joint connector for when you’re unable to come up directly from underneath. Great video. I do jobs like this day in day out and yet here I am, on a Sat morning, watching someone else do the same thing. Man, I love plumbing! Take care.

[@MrCreedmc]

I brought the tapex kit last week, used it 3 times already and I got to say its definitely a handy tool, on the expensive side but will pay for itself in no time.

[@MJ-ce6tv]

@@MrCreedmc Yes, thanks the price is what put me off from buying it initially but it has more than paid for itself over the last year.

[@psiris09]

Bloody love this channel

[@victoriaberesford9829]

Flexi connections are so tight I can’t unscrew them, any tips? Great video!

[@davehunter6920]

if changing the ballofix I would have dropped both down a few inches to take the curl out of the Flexi tails

[@MegaSparrow29]

Does there need to be some sort of a washer/seal between the bottom of the tap and then top of the basin, so it doesn’t leak? Or is it built in the new tap and just wasn’t visible

[@randomjan33]

Great little video would have enjoyed the full monty though 😂 will let you know how I get on with my tap

[@SenolHasan]

Thanks!

[@flashheart7675]

Iv got a good tip for ya James if you leave the nut oven the end of the slotted end so it’s a little proud it won’t splay when you tighten with a flat head screwdriver and rad valve stepping tool fits in the end of the box spanner’s making the ratchet 👍🏻

[@rockandmeatroll]

Can you explain this a bit more for diy?

[@romanivanov2589]

Thank you

[@davetheman2615]

Thanks for the video, you saved me 40 quid, cheers

[@jamesh9512]

What tap make is it, did you say and maybe I missed it as I’ve never had one where they supply a box spanner with it?

[@elz169]

Love your videos mate. Managed to refit my bathroom based on them! 💪🏻

[@lapinchiloca]

same here! 👍

[@Gixer750pilot]

Me too , that’s why it’s still not finished 😂

[@paulhaines8014]

Hi, great video cheers. Just one thing, if I can shut the water off under the sink with the two shut off valves , when I have done everything and I am ready to put the water back on, do I need to do the thing like you did re the building the pressure back up? Cheers. 😊

[@azursmile]

Not an expert, but it looks like it. The point is to not have lots of pressure building if you've missed or under tightened something..

[@carolinegoodchild8222]

Great thanks

[@jonathanryall355]

Hi got a question my heating system has has radiators where both pipes go into the same side of the rad would it be worth changing it to one pipe each side or would this course issues Ps it a combi boiler setup

[@chrisbelfast6662]

Hi mate do I need to turn the mains off or drain the system if I am changing the tap to a new 1?

[@sukhi0007]

Top man thank you 👍🍺

[@miriamclark13]

after spending one hour turning the bolt the wrong way i finally acheived a new tap. wooo. bruised hands now haha

[@jerry2294]

The flex hoses where they are twisted could this slow the flow of water to the tap as if the hot is gravity fed?

[@tehuss]

Our tap is leaking on the underside of the basin where the metal and rubber seal go. We recently had the cartridge replaced and the whole tap was taken out. What do you think the problem could be? Do we need a new rubber seal? Thanks

[@muhidzaman3520]

Hi, I’m the middle of installing a tap, can’t tighten the bolt as there is minimal space. What is that black plastic long piece called you used to tighten at end?

[@margaretliu3409]

Thank youuuuuuu master 👍💪💪💪😍😍😍💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝

[@omirrrr]

Plumber replaced mine last week and when water is splashed it drips straight through around the tap should it have been sealed?

[@bob-ye9fr]

when you changed the isolation valve, did you use the old Knut and olive, or did you remove the old olive?

[@boggybigpants9462]

That’s what I’d like to know

[@gmeadowcroft84]

Great and informative video mate. I changed a tap in my kitchen a couple of years ago (I know cool story bro) which confused the hell out of me. Like the one you did the water went in through the 2 flexies but then it came back down again through the locking nut and back up through the tap. As I’m not a plumber it tuck me ages to work out why it was gushing water out. Not sure if that makes any seance the way I described it lol 😂…. see you on Thursday SEND

[@GMLondon]

Fantastic video mate very helpful. Now subacribed to your channel

[@davehuntley9819]

Hi, i'm a big fan of the channel please can you help with this question. You have lots of videos on hanging Rads, But the Brackets can be fitted so the rad is further from the wall or close to it. Which way is the correct way the brackets are attached to the wall also is one fitting method more heat efficient than the other??? Many Thanks Dave

[@jamesmason4681]

No mate, the longest side of the brackets is for single panel rads, I was always taught that it's so you can fit stuff behind the rads like to dry clothes and stuff

[@Kosmonooit]

Although there is an o ring on that base sometimes the seal is not 100%, What I do to avoid seepage through the hole is clean up the surface on the basin with some acetone or isopropyl alcohol, and then put a gasket of clear marine silicone. Proper seal.

[@meenarathore3804]

Hi great video. I need the tap spanner in your video please you let me know how much and how soon can you send. thakyou. Meena.
