Why is this recommended to me?

Different tap needs different washer sizes? Remind me of something else. Imagination runs wild! Ommmm…pure clean thoughts. Lol😂 Turn off!

Thanks helpful

I took the handle off my tap and it revealed a large gold nut and just under that was where the leaking was coming from so I tightened it and then it wouldn’t turn off so I kept trying then I got it to stop dripping and then I turned it on and off and then it got worse

Hi I am getting hot water in the shower. But kitchen & bathroom sink the water is coming when hot tap turned on but it’s coming out cold/ luke warm -can anyone help with this what is the issue?

Thanks a lot. Had not exact problem, but this really helped with understanding how this stuff works, whats may be wrong and how to disassemble this stuff.

Great and all but B&Q don’t sell the washers as far as I can work out.

the screw doesnt even come out for me to take the tap off. the screwdriver wont even hold the screw at all, just goes round and round. i dont know what to do. my tap is not just dripping noe. its now running a minimum amount of water constantly☹
