• How Can You Replace Bathroom Taps?

Replacing your taps can significantly enhance the aesthetic appeal of your bathroom, and with our handy step-by-step guide, you'll be on your way to the perfect sink in no time. Gather the necessary tools and materials, and turn off the water supply by locating the stop tap under your sink or at the mains. Place a bucket under the sink to catch any drips, then use a wrench to loosen the nuts attached to the old tap and disconnect the water supply lines.

Next, position the new tap through the holes in the sink, assembling any required parts beforehand. If recommended, apply silicone sealant around the base, then secure the tap with the provided nuts and washers. Attach the water supply lines, ensuring a tight seal with plumber's tape. Slowly turn on the water supply to check for leaks, let the water run to ensure proper flow, and check for any leaks at the connections. Tighten any necessary connections to stop leaks, and enjoy your newly upgraded bathroom tap.

• How Do You Properly Clean Bathroom Taps?

The best way to clean bathroom taps is to mix equal parts white vinegar and water solution. Simply spraying this concoction onto your taps and wiping it away with a microfibre cloth should be enough to keep them sparkling clean. 

If you have a substantial limescale build-up, soaking the cloth in the solution and then wrapping it around your taps for 30 minutes helps break down the build-up. 

• How to fix a leaking tap?

Where the leak is coming from will help determine the best action for fixing your bathroom tap.

• • Water leaking from the spout indicates a worn washer.

  • If the leak comes from beneath the spout, it could be the spout O-ring. 
  • Fixing a leaking tap is straightforward and can prevent water wastage and reduce repair costs. However, the steps to this process can differ depending on your tap type and whether you need to replace the valve or spout rings.
