  • Water trickling out of tap

    My cold tap only produces a trickle of water when I turn it on. All the other taps in the house are fine. What could be the problem?

    Leaking Mono Mixer tap

    I have a Wilkes Siranne Mono Mixer tap on my bathroom sink. It's from about 2013 and has two rectangular knobs. The hot side is leaking and it likes to sing quite a bit. I've removed the screw, but cannot get the handle off. Is it worth attempting a replacement of the cartridge, or just go for a new tap? Thanks

    Replace electric shower

    Hi hive mind I'm moving into a new house soon and planning to completely rip out the bathroom and start again. Currently there is a bath with an electric shower. the water is served by a tank (there's one in the loft and one in the cupboard next to the bathroom) i'm assuming there are hot and cold pipes running from the water tank to serve the bath taps? in this case when i do the re-fit is it going to be possible to install a mixer shower (i plan to get rid of the bath entirely for a nice walk in shower/wet room look) or am i forever stuck with electric showers? the tiles and floors will be getting ripped up anyway so i'm assuming it shouldn't be a problem? Thanks all!
