Does anyone know a plumber? How much do you think it would cost to change all the washers in an apartment?.... ie bathroom sink/shower/bath... kitchen sink.... and laundry sink.

[Got a Pulsar]

give not get

Well they do say the best gift to give is one you would like to receive yourself.

You will need the plumber buddy.^

It aint hard Shell - just take up to an hour to do the lot.

$20 bucks max if you DIY.

Richard, I never knew you cared. What does a plumber charge to change an Oh Ring? LOL

Shell, yep it's not difficult as long as you can turn off the water, have a good sized shifter and the correct washers but mixer taps can be tricky.

[Shell]

I actually have the tools lol.... I've changed them in rentals before.... just not sure how to turn the water off here! I don't want a flood!

haha snap... yep the water is the issue. No mixer taps.

Yeah, apartments may not have an easily accessible water switcherofferer. Might be central not individual.

If you rent, I'd be at least be contacting the Landlord if in doubt.

[B-rice]

If you have a water meter its usually next to it

[Shell]

No individual water meters.

Nah I own it, have been meaning to do this for YEARS lol

[Shell]

I might ask my dad. He's useful for these kind of things

[D.I.Y. Mik]

Look for a small panel or door in one of the walls,

Its probly in the laundry, or hidden in a cupboard or wardrobe,

There will be a tap, you may have to look around with a torch inside the wall to find it.

Or if it has an underground carpark they may be on the ceiling down there.

I have most plumbing tools, includung the tap reseater you will want for this job.

Ps spend the extra 5c per washer and get the good ones

And...

Leave the taps open when you turn the water on to flush out the brass shavings,

closing the tap on shavings just puts a groove in the washer and they leak.

Hydroseal is a good lube for them, and you may need to seal the thread again with teflon tape or Lockseal.

Leaking spindles need replacing, they are cheap and its easier than refitting o-rings etc.

dads rule!
