I do a lot of repairs in my house without requiring the service of a professional, changing water- tap is one of them as it is not difficult to do as long as you can follow simple instruction. You can see yourself saving some cash which you would have given to a plumber over something you can fix yourself. I am a big fan of Do it yourself.
