Never attempted this before. Watched your video and sorted tap in less than 15 minutes. Feeling absurdly proud of myself but the credit goes to you. Thanks indeed.

Thank you so much so easy to understand. Clear, well explained and because I am a 60 year old woman fixing my dripping tap, seeing a woman explaining and completing the task gives me confidence that I can do it also.

Philippa Tuttiett is an excellent communicator: she explains clearly yet is informal in manner and speech, is reassuring and has a frank gaze and nice smile (which helps); the video maker is also excellent. The video can be viewed for instruction and also just for the pleasure of seeing someone do a job well and explain it well. She makes you feel that she's talking to you: the ideal teacher.

Philippa, if I was 40 years younger......yea! Seriously though, that was as good a video on the subject as one is ever going to find. You made my day, thank you.

So grateful that I found this! And Phillippa explained it perfectly and with lots of little hints and tips to avoid accidents! I think she has just saved me about £65 (the cost last time when I called out a 'plumber'). Unlike the contributor below, I'm not a 60-year-old woman but still found it helpful to have my first plumbing lesson from a female! I'm inspired now to go further and change a tap - at this rate, I'll have a brand new house by 2030! Thanks again! Mart

Thank you - straightforward explanation with no waffle. If only all DIY videos were as respectful of viewers time and patience.

Thanks so much. Watched a few others but few explained the process so clearly. :) No music, no drama. Subscribed.

This video reassured me that changing a tap washer can be easy. I’m always a bit unsure when doing any job that includes the possibility of water leakage but this job went well. Thanks so much and I will undoubtedly be checking out more of your excellent videos.

Thank you! I changed my bathroom tap washer. Your instructions were very explicit and clear. It saved me a plumber's call out charge.

I've been living with a leaky tap for 6 months. No more after this fool proof tutorial. Thank you.

Thanking you very much. Now I realised how we the tenants and the Housing Department are being ripped off by these so called plumbing companies.. This is a good eye opener. Thank you once again.
