I have just discovered a small leak coming from a soldered joint of the hot water feed to the bathroom sink. As a fix can I cut the pipe below the soldered joint, put in a 15mm push fit coupler that includes an isolation valve then continue to the tap with a plastic pipe? (I understand that plastic pipes are becoming more the norm these days). No sure whether the coupler should be plastic or brass? Your help, as always, is very much appreciated. Chris
