Th single spout over my bath provides both hot and cold water. As the tap was dripping I replaced the valves on both the hot and cold water taps with good quality valves which are supposed to be particularly good for people with arthritis. Much to my disappointment the spout still drips, but not as fast as it did. Is there something I have missed doing when istalling the new valves?

You could have faulty valves happened to me once. Did you make sure non of the old valve was left inside. I also had a customer that had a dripping tap and said new ones had been fitted. Looked inside and there was a piece from the ceramic valve left inside.

I was stupid enough not to check the position of the pipes under the tiles when installing a toilet and drilled right through the center of a 16 mm copper water pipe. I exposed the pipe by removing a ~30cm section of the plastic sleeve and a ~10 cm section of the pipe around the hole. Several...
