    Replacing a water tank ballcock

    Hi All. I have a fast dripping overflow. Apparently the ballcock in the cold water tank is rusty and 'on it's last legs'. How easy a job is it to replace DIY or how much should I expect to pay a plumber to come out and do it? Thanks :)

    contact between tank thermostat and copper hot water tank

    Hi, I want to improve the thermal contact between the hot water tank and the thermostat. The old one had some sort of silvery paste. Anyone know what it is and where to get it - or can i use any high melting point grease? would the heat sink pastes for computers do the same job? cheers
