How do I remove my bath mixer tap regulator? Its quite thin compared to all the videos and photos ive seen of people removing theirs. I bought new female+male aerators but struggling to remove it from the bath tap. Im not sure because its rusted or what but it doesnt budge.

It looks thin because some are on the exposed section. It will be screwed in or a tight push-fit, normally screwed. If you are replacing then grip tight and twist but it is plastic isn`t it?

No its metal and ive tried to get a grip on it with pliers but it just slips off. And yes it will be screwed on. This is the first time ive ever attempted to remove it so I think its got build on it so maybe thats why it doesnt want to turn.

Google water pump pliers or Swan neck pliers then, doesn't have to be an expensive pair.
