UK Plumbers. Is there a way to convert two kitchen taps to one single mixer tap without changing the sink?

Question

I know nothing about plumbing. Is it fairly easy (and possible) to change two individual kitchen taps (hot and cold) to one single mixed tap so that I can get warm water, without changing the whole kitchen sink?

Thanks.

Answer 1

it's real easy a single tap will fit in holes like a double just connect water lines up like it was a double.will take maybe 10 minutes if you take your time

Answer 2

The problem might be an extra hole or two in the sink.  If the new single tap doesn't come with a plate to cover them, you may be able to add a soap dispenser, or just a blank cover.

Ask at a plumbing supply store, or talk it over with a plumber.  Estimates are probably free.

Answer 3

Yes,the holes for the mixer will be the same as for the old taps.Only thing is the old taps might be difficult to get off.If you buy a basin wrench it makes it easier to get at the nuts holding the tap connectors to the taps.Don`t forget the turn off the hot and cold water supply!
