Morning friends
I'm up early, Jack Frost has been again, frozen.
So, my next question is:-
How many of us would simply change a ball cock in a tank etc. rather than attempting to fix it?
I'll be honest, I'm a replacer but that might change if I can fix it within same time limit & charge the same.
Any opinions & thoughts on this one?
Happy Sunday friends, the roast will be ready for lunch.

I always replace them rocky they cost fuck all and you won't get an unpaid call back to deal with, the days of repairing them are long gone. downloadlove

I agree, you've got to take if off anyway to repair, so might as well fit a new one, they're only a fiver,

Replace - as the customer always feels happier to pay a bill when they see new parts fitted.
I was taught if you want increased reliability fit the parts, cause your name is only as good as your last job.

When ever I strip a toilet down for syphon change I replace the lot,,,call backs cost you money,although we all get call backs now and again its best to be belt and braces with some repairs.

I used to repair a lot of the old Portsmouth ball valves that had the brass plunger inside and the water came in at the bottom.
It all seem to change when they moved to the diaphragm washer type and the water was fed in over the top.
Something I've never thought about before...
