mixer tap hell!

Check out this new guy to make sure of his credentials and not just a mate of the first guy with as little know how.

Another thing which is often missed is if your light fitting falls into any of the safety "zones" in the bathroom. It must be replaced with a suitable IP rated fitting (plenty of info on the net if you search for it).

 

[NOT SO DIY]

I have an old bathroom suite in my house, moved in a few months ago, bathroom has a Swan tap system. two knobs and a valve for a shower. The shower valve has been capped so not used ever. The problem we have is that the hot water valve flows for a bit then stops. Don’t get this problem at the sink tap. Our boiler is upstairs and is next to the bathroom so not expecting any pressure issues. My question is, can I just swap out the valve in the tap? do these tend to fail i.e. perished seals etc?

Please help. 🙂
