My old kitchen mixer tap had starting dripping quite badly after only a few years. I thought it would probably be cheaper to buy a new tap than get someone in to fix the old one, so I decided to spend more money this time in the hope that the new one would last longer. I'm not great at DIY, but if something can just replace the old one without pipe cutting etc., I'll give it a go. The only tools I needed were an adjustable wrench to undo the nuts to the water supply (couldn't find a spanner that fit in my tool kit) and a box spanner which I had from last time I did this (generally less than a tenner from Amazon). The box spanner is a sort of extended spanner which allows you to undo the main nut behind the sink which holds the tap in place (and do up the nut on the new tap). You might need some PTFE tape to save leakage on the nuts. First thing was to turn off the water at the stopcock. I had to remove the sink waste pipes as they were in the way - I did a 'fly-by' video on my phone of the under-sink set-up before I started. This can be useful when you're putting things back together. I took some time to clean out the waste pipes as they were full of detritus. It's a good idea to put some bowls and towels down to catch spillages. Surprisingly, things went very smoothly - it mentions on the item description that adapters are need to join onto the water pipes, but I didn't need them. When you attach the tap to the sink, you can't see what you're doing, but it was fairly straightforward anyway. The instructions weren't great. A diagram seemed to refer to a collar that I didn't have, so I wondered if the instructions were for a different tap - but it didn't seem to matter. Once installed, the tap looks great. The spout rotates very easily, as do the levers which turn on the water - I like that, as if your hands are dirty, you just need to nudge them to turn the water on. So, very pleased overall - I hope it lasts.

Final evaluation: Once I sent the previous broken faucet back, I ordered another one of the same type. In this case the faucet received was OK. The assembly was very easy. Operation is absolutely smooth and comfortable. We appreciate this product much. Original evaluation: One lever of the water supply faucet swayed as a result of the broken plastic wheel on which it is fixed on. Sent back immediately. Big disappointment.
