I cannot work out how to remove the handle of a Bastow 'Melrose' vanity tap, so that the washer can be changed. The tap set dates back to approx 1997, so it is not a current model.

You need to buy a handle puller to remove the handles so you can change the washers.

Testimonial: "I was hoping that that was not the case, but thanks very much for confirming it."

    hI, YOU ARE GOING TO NEED A TOOL CALLED HANDLE PULLER IN ORDER TO REMOVE THE HANDLES FOR YOUR FAUCET, IT HAS TWO SIDES THAT SLIP UNDER THE HANDLE ON BOTH SIDES AND A PEICE THAT GOES INTO THE CENTER WHERE THE SCREW GOES. AND AFTER THE SCREW IS REMOVED AND YOU PUT THE TOOL IN PLACE AS YOU TIGHTEN IT , IT PULLES THE HANDE UPWARD REMOVEING IT WITH OUT SCRATCHING IT UNLIKE A PAIR OF PLIARS WOULD. i HOPE THIS HELPS YOU CAN BY THEM AT fERGUSON pLUMBING SUPPLY HOUSE FOR AROUND $15.00 DOLLARS.......hUCK

Bathroom sink single handle danze faucet. I removed set screw, but the handle won't come off. How hard can I pull?

Alot of variables there. If it's really old you must be extremely gentle. I have had them crumble into pieces in my hand. If it doesn't appear corroded around the edges and is in good shape, you should rock or pry gently with a non marring tool (putty knife covered by rag) alternating sides to break it loose. A penetrating oil like PB blaster can be used if you can let it sit for a day. Just straight pulling is not wise. Tapping (not pounding) can be helpful. You are just trying to break the bond between surfaces so the vibration of lots of light tapping will sometimes do it.

I am trying to fix a leaky danza single handle bathroom faucet. I cannot figure out how to remove any part of the faucet from the top to be able to change the washer.

There is a allen set screw on the handle it may have a cap over it locate it and unloosen screw and remove handle then un screw bonnet nut then replacement kits available at most hardware,home improvement,or plumbing stores take note of how the parts are removed so to reinstall the way they came out.

Need to change washer faucet

Probably what you need to do is change the cartridge. You will need a Moen cartridge puller to help with removal and reinstallation. You can get these and the cartridges at most hardware stores. Shut Off Water first, remove set screw that secures handle and carefully remove handle. You may have to tap lightly on rim of handle to free it. There is a retaining clip that holds cartridge in place, it will have a small round hole on top. Carefully remove clip using neddle nose pliers or perhaps ice pick inserted in hole to remove clip.Install puller as per instructions and tighten nut to remove cartridge. Install new cartridge andclip. put handle back on and install screw. I need to back up here and say that screw is normally located under moen insignia in middle of handle. Pry cover off with screw driver or knife blade to access screw. After you have cartridge, retaing clip and handle reinstalled turn water back on and check for leaks. Hope this helps. Thanks.

Hi, I need to know how to change a washer for a modern shower tap. I normally know and can do this easily but i have come across a new style of tap, one without a cap in the middle of the tap handle, and...

what brand valve, and model number?

without that...
some handles are screwed on, some are held on with allen set screws.
it all depends on the valve, and the model number.

Installing a vessel sink

Standard Vanity height is approx 34.5". A vessel vanity is approx 31" high. If you cannot remove the legs from your existing vanity then it will have to be replaced or cut down to the correct height. The reason a vessel vanity is lower is because your sink will be approx 3 to 6 inches higher than a standard drop in sink. This may be more work than it is worth. Vessel sinks most often will require a solid surface top, either glass, stone or another type of composite material. The standard laminate vanity top has a particle board substrate which will detiorate quickly at the drain location.

Cold tap doesnt work

Is it a single handle or double handle faucet?
If it is a single:    1.  Remove handle via setscrew the side of the handle          (possibly under a decorative cap with the company name)    2.  Unscrew the packing nut holding the valve cartridge in    3.  Remove cartridge and access washers
For double handle    1.  Remove decorative cap on top of handle with a think screw driver.    2.  Remove handle and packing nut holding the valve stem in place    3.  Remove valve stem and body to access washers and o-rings.

Remember to turn water off at the source prior to doing any work. Replacement is just reverse of removal and don't forget to use a washer grease on all washers/o-rings when reassembling.
