How easy is it to change the plug holes and taps on the bathroom sink
and bath?


Relatively trivial, of course having said that the fittings will have
been there for ages( they wont move, pipes will break) and changing them
will morph into an all weekend nightmare

Any links that people can point me to please?

And fitting a waste is shown (in part) here, one of the major gotchas
lies here as if you don't get a decent water tight seal between the
waste and the basin/bath, water may well leak past this junction and as
the bath is (usualy) covered at the side the leak may well go undetected
untill other major damage is done, this also applies to a bathroom sink
which may have a pedestal .

Thanx for that. I had gotten some Domestos onto some metal work and just
wanted to change the metal bits. Seems like it might be a lot of risk
though.
