How to remove sink tap?

Dear All,

 

Trying to replace the old taps in the bathroom sink. After watching a Youtube video, I thought I have got all ducks in a row however just wanted to get some advice on how to remove the bottom part of the tap (circled in blue) IMG_7048.jpgwhich is attached with the metal ring. I could remove the top bit easily however before breaking anything needed some advice.

Re: Removal of sink tap

Hi @Iwish,

 

On that tap style, the cover plate is typically not attached to anything and is retained by a spring under the handle. It could need to be screwed anti-clockwise off the metal base, but I've never seen a tap like that. I suspect it is just glued in place with muck and might take some wiggling to prise off.

 

Please let me know if you have any questions.

 

Mitchell
