Hi all,
So I am changing the sink and tap as it is not very good condition any longer.
I will be buying the same size sink to fit in the same position.
My question is do I need to buy new pumbling kit?? What do I buy with it? Please can you list.
Thank you

No solvent cement is needed in this case. For connecting to the existing pipe solvent weld is best to be avoided.And you forgot two spanners for 15mm compression fittings.1

I'm planning to get a plumber to fix it on for me so I still need to buy all of this too? Thanks
No it's not a joke @grumbler I just have no experience in it.0 -
OP
Just buy the sink and tap. Lol
If you are getting a plumber to fit then all else will be supplied. You pay for materials and fitting.The world is not ruined by the wickedness of the wicked, but by the weakness of the good. Napoleon1
