thanks does this method still apply if there is only 1 faucet not 2 separate ones like in your video?

My bathroom basin mixer leaks...I don't know why. On the hot tap handle there is often a small puddle of water under where the tap handle screws into the main mixer. Only ever on the hot side and drips v slowly. CAN YOU HELP PLEASE?

A nice down to earth plumber - you can tell he ain't an electrician, double adaptor with a kettle AND a toaster? But never mind, the vid is really helpful. Thanks

Good video, but as far as unscrewinging the Headgear, have a look at, "Change Tap washer Easy Tapsplitter", on here to see how to unscrew it easier and safer, be careful these heads can be extremely difficult to shift and cause a lot more damage to pipework etc.
