    Looking for a plumber. Midlands area. Where is best to search...yellow pages?

    Also anyone give me a ball park figure for replacing a kitchen sink tap? I already have the replacement tap so just fitting.

    Do it yourself. Two minute job. Save yourself a hundred euros

    Trouble is i had a look at it in the past. Qualplex pipe joins directly to the threaded butt of the tap and it's a nightmare to get at.

    Purchase a tap spanner for under a tenner.

    I got it done recently.
    Could have done myself but didn't have tap wrench to hand.
    Plumber was €80.
    Tap he fitted had €50 price tag on the box. He probably got it cheaper but it all told I was happy to go that route.
