  • Yes. I am an idiot and managed to do it without breaking anything. If you are lucky there will be shutoff valves at the end of the tap tails. I had to slightly enlarge the hole in the worktop but as it was wood that was no issue with sandpaper.

  • Just seems to be a couple of copper pipes connected to 90 degree compression fittings. No valves anywhere to be seen.

    Presumably those pipes will have something like this at the other end?

    So unless I'm mistaken it's a case of undoing the compression fittings, removing the whole lot, swapping the tails onto the new tap (hoping that they're the same thread), fitting that and reconnecting it. And some LSX.

    Sounds worryingly straightforward.

  • Bad luck. Every time I’ve done it there has been something like this installed

  • You don’t get values with taps and the person that’s fitted them previous hasn’t bothered to fit them. You could just unscrew they plastic fittings and refit the new ones the same way if they are the same length.
