October 22, 20223 yr 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, 20223 yr by Moonshine

October 22, 20223 yr Author 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.
