New bath taps!!

Three weeks ago, the cold tap on the bathtub stopped working.  First, when you turned it on, only a dribble of water came out and then when you turned it on, no water came out at all!  Last Friday the plumber came with new taps to put in!  (they had to give a quote to the landlord first, and then buy the taps)  
Now, here's the weird thing.  On most bathtubs, the hot water tap is on the left (closest to the sink here) and the cold water tap is on the right (next to the wall here).  My bathtub - nope.  Other way round.  Then when he got the side panel of the bath off, he found the hot water tap copper pipe leaked.  Tried fixing it - nope.   Put new pipe gizmo thing in.  Here's another weird thing.  The cold water tap copper pipe is in Imperial measurement pipe.  The hot water tap copper pipe (that's now a new pipe gizmo) is metric measurements.

But we have shiny new taps now and they both work a treat!!!!!
Currently in use stress relieving radox bubble bath and Kew Gardens lemongrass and lime shea butter soap.
Lovely....

  1. Yay!!! Those are some seriously snazzy taps! Did he also flip the hot and cold while he was in there?
