Hello everyone,

I want to change my very old and worn monobloc tap. However, the hot and cold copper water pipes that go into it from the underside seem to be ‘bedded’ in by some kind of adhesive cement/ compound.

There is no visible sign of a retaining nut to undo so that the tap can be removed. I don’t know what to do now – only thing I can think to do is to try and twist the tap out – though I’m afraid I might damaged the sink. If anyone has an idea what to do, it would be appreciated. Many thanks.

Hole in copper pipe, solder under floor, T coupling & protection
I was stupid enough not to check the position of the pipes under the tiles when installing a toilet and drilled right through the center of a 16 mm copper water pipe. I exposed the pipe by removing a ~30cm section of the plastic sleeve and a ~10 cm section of the pipe around the hole. Several...
