The Tap Reseaters either hand operated or electric are a work of art, so glad I keep track of there where abouts. Note to self "tidy up the back shed". Thank you for the tutorial.

this finally fixed my drip. had trouble finding the tool in canada but finally found it at princess auto. had to do by hand since it wouldn’t fit a drill, wasn’t the greatest but indeed did the job

Very helpful. Thank you, Bill. 1 Question: How many times do you estimate you can you clean up the valve seats before the branch becomes worn too thin?

Nice video but Im dont have the tool ...so in a hurry time Im used teflon type and works amazing.

Got one job did the same way take the head off and flush the pipe, however the copper shred was stuck in the flexible hose reduce water pressure. I would recommend take the hose off from the wall give the flushing. Or don't put spindle on, give a quick on and off completely flushed. It's my feedback.

Thank you Brother!

Hi Bill, great DIY channel. Just a question as l used the reseating tool and the brass is looking clean, however the brass ring has these imperfections and they seem to get bigger after reseating. Do l continue to resurface and will it eventually get shaved perfectly? Thanks!

Love your video mate. One question how can I get soft turn washers?

Great demo! I just did that to my taps and now watching the video on how to do it for some reason XD My fear with re-seating every time I do it, is that I'll shave off too much brass over time and will end up changing the pipes. Is that a valid concern?

If you screw the spindle in the closed position you risk trapping little pieces of metal against the washer. Flush them out first by leaving the spindle open when you screw it up.

Awesome info video. I really thought it would help me... that was until I tool the taps off and discovered that some bugger has filled the gaps behind and into the wall right to the tiles with filler/silicon of some sort and I can't get to the spindle to take it off!

And when they still leak? It’s not a small leak, I’ve ground so much away, I have gone through seven washers and styles of outlets (including ceramic), this is super frustrating. It’s as if the tap is still open/half on. Is it possible to grind it too far?

Hi Got a link to buy that resetting tool? thx

I don't know why Seat Grinding would be necessary..as Brass is a lot harder than the Rubber Valve..The Seat is Black because of Tarnishing..eventually with repeated grinding..there'd be no Seat left..using the Drill is by far easier, however is more severe...

Does this work the same for all taps?

Nice. Can we please have a video on how to know increase shower pressure. I have two showers, of which one is good but the other shower pressure is very low. I tried to change the valve and clean showerhead. Nothing helped. Thank you.

How do I use a reseating tool manually?

Changed my washers and have used the same re seating tool and it still leaks what could be the issue?

After doing all this, the shower is still dripping. New valves too. I shaved down the surface twice, but still leaking. The surface is shiny. Do I keep going? What else can I do?

The plumbing section where all the washers are. It's a manual tool though. We've found that after a few uses the seating ends up with a rippling effect which never goes away. I will try the drill type of tool next time. Maybe a plumbers supplier has them.

Tried this still leaks 😳 tried different washers from bunnings still leaking. What could be the problem

Thank you! I believe this is going to solve my problem. It is an outside tap but I'm sure it works the same way. The only thing I did not like about your video is, why didn't you clean behind the caps before you replaced them? Ew! Just 2 more minutes, if that. 😕

@harvco2849

Plumbers not cleaners 🤷‍♂️

let them know, that there is no need to remove more than enough of the seating, I have been plumbing for more than 50 years, once I reseated a tap, but it still leaked, with the new washer, it turned out it was due the dezincification of the brass seating

Please let us know the part number , brand etc … y local hardware store don’t sell it !

Awesome

Mine leaks in the wall behind the taps when I turn the water off in my shower. Can't figure out why but it's a problem because I can't get access to it because the wall is covered in marble! Not sure what to do at this point.

You can try getting access from the other side of the wall ( which ever room is backing onto the taps) 👍

Do you go back and screw the washer back out after flushing?

@billshowto

Once the handle is on and you turn it to the off position, it will close the washer. The tap handle is what operates the spindle to open and close the washer 👍

Does anyone know what causes this? I’ve found sometimes a mysterious nick or notch on the brass seating surface, and no amount of reseating will get rid of it. I don’t know what causes it. I usually end up buying a new tap

Over tighting or medal rubing it. Like if rubber ring gets worn out or can damage the seat or just being old and corsion can cause damage. Easy fix
