QUOTE(contestchris @ Nov 22 2024, 03:31 PM) How much did it cost you? Resident Bangla contractor charged me 500 to do it. He has some spare matching tiles. One afternoons fork. Hacked off 2 pieces of tile and the mortar beneath to get to the stopcock. Then change a new one. In my case, it's my shower stopcock. awol liked this post

QUOTE(contestchris @ Nov 22 2024, 08:13 PM) Would playing around by opening/closing worsen the situation? Yes, eventually it gets worst as did mine. Mine wasn't really a problem because it's in my shower...but eventually it leaves unsightly water and rust stain marks. however In your case just leave it full open for now as it stops the leak .Similarly, would applying a bit more force cause anything to break or become worse? Mine was so bloody deeply concealed that hacking was the only option. Once they hacked, just change it anyway. mushigen liked this post
