Moonshine Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 (edited) The hot tap has gone on my bath and wont switch off. I have turned the water off in the house to stop it running. The bathroom was installed before we moved in and it looks like the only way i can replace the tap is smashing the tiles on the side to get access to underneath Unless am i missing something that would mean i dont have to get my hammer out. The wall behind this is plasterboard and i could potential go in though this Edited October 22, 2022 by Moonshine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe90 Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 You can replace the cartridge on those, might be tight to remove. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moonshine Posted October 22, 2022 Author Share Posted October 22, 2022 They are actually 3/4 glands and screwfix / toolstation only sell upto 1/2. Luckily there is a worsley just round the corner that do them for the pricely ammount of £30! Tap back in and water back on. Now watching to see if the plumbing i pissed about with for no reason doesnt weep. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
