Before you start, it’s very important that you cut off the water supply before fitting the basin and have patients as this is job will take a minimum of 2 hours. Use an adjustable wrench to detach the taps from the basin your replacing if you insist on using them again, if not and your looking for something new then take a look at our variety of chrome taps suitable for all bathrooms. Fortunately you might be able to fix the waste and water supply pipes straight back into the taps and sink taps, but if your not able to then use flexible parts for waste pipes and tap connector pipes to allow the attachment. Make sure to use the gaskets and washers given for a watertight seal around the taps.

Once your new basin is connected, remember to use a sprirt level to check that it is balanced and not slanted. Aim to attach majority of the parts to the new basin prevoius from connecting it to the worktop. Then by using the parts provided, join the waste pipe to the overflow and position the basin into the worktop checking that the pipes can be fixed with no problems. Finish off by tightening the joints on the tap connectors and sealing around the basin with waterproof sealant.

If you are interested in finding taps that match your basin or anything to do with your bathroom then look no further then Chrome-tapshower.co.uk because all our products come with a 48 hour delivery and ontop of that a 10 year guarantee.

If you can use a knife used for crafting attached with a fresh blade as this will be used to strip away the old sealant. It’s important that the surfaces are the cleanest they can be, try to use a cloth doused with white spirit to eliminate any dirt and grease that may be lurking so that it’s in the right condition to use new sealant. Now slice off the end of the sealant nozzle diagonally and approximately between 15-20mm, unscrew the nozzle and get rid of the tube seal. Screw back on the nozzle and place the tube into a mastic gun, once completed see if the sealant flows out in a continuously with no interruptions.

Beginning in the corner, lightly press the mastic gun’s trigger and shape the sealant around the lip of the basin in a steady constant motion. If you need to practice using the sealant, attempt to seal the inside of a box shaped object before sealing your basin. Maintaining the nozzle just above the worktop, move the gun away quickly when your near the end of the basin to keep a neat look. To help you can use masking tape above and below the gap you’re sealing incase you are worried about making a mess, keep in mind that you must get rid of the tape before smoothing the border. Lay the gun on newspaper so that excess sealant is caught.

Level the edges out with your finger by running it along the sealant in a fluent movement,  blending it in with the worktop and basin. If you don’t want to get your hands messy then use disposable latex gloves with this procedure. When you are happy with the ending product, allow the sealant to dry but try to wash any useless pieces of sealant away from parts of the basin. Remember that sealants tend to dry fast so make sure you wash your hands any any tools that have sealant on them immediately after you have finished your job.

To fit a radiator into your home you need to know the basics beforehand, first of all you need to turn off the heating and allow to cool down then you turn the plastic handle clockwise to turn the radiator off. On the opposite side of the radiator there’s a lock shield valve, to close this valve you need to remove the protective plastic cup covering it and use an adjustable spanner to turn the valve clockwise for it to close. Its important that you remember how many turns you made on the valve because it should be opened by the same amount of turns when the radiator is replaced. This keeps the system even spreading the heat out equally through the house. Next you must bleed the radiator and this is done by using a key to open the bleed valve, this is usually found in one of the top corners of the radiator and will allow the air to enter it for water to flow more quickly out the radiator.

Now remove the old radiator but still leave the 2 valves connected to the pipes and clasp the valve assembly with one wrench so its unable to be pulled loose from the pipe feeding it. Completely detach the nut and carefully do the same with the nut holding the radiator to the valve at the other end. Close the bleed valve and finish draining it by removing the radiator from its brackets and holding it over a bucket, they’re pretty heavy so make sure you have support when carrying out this procedure.

The next step before fitting is to wrap PTFE tape clockwise around the thread of the new radiator then placing it onto the wall brackets, you then position the valves either side so that the radiator sits perfectly on top of them and hand tighten the nut onto each valve making sure you don’t cross thread them. Tighten the valves by using the same technique as you used to remove the old radiator, by holding the valve assembly with 1 wrench so it cant be seperated from the pipe while using another wrench to do up the connecting nut. Keep in mind that if it leaks you can tighten the joint, but if you tighten it too much, you will need to take it apart and start from scratch.

After tightening both connections, re-open the bleed valve at the top of the radiator and then only open the flow valve situated at the bottom of the radiator. This valve will be used to switch your radiator on and off allowing water to flow in and air to be pushed out from the top, when water begins to seep from the bleed valve that’s when you should close it. To let water circulate the system you need to open the return valve found at the bottom of the radiator using the amount of turns used to close it. Finally check both connections for leaks, turn on the heating and check again for leaks. You now have a working radiator.
