Thanks for the replies, I'll raise it with the developer Bellway. I can't see anywhere obvious water is getting through. Nothing surprises me with the build quality .... the whole house is full of this standard of workmanship.

Hi, Is this meter box wiring route into the wall acceptable? Its a new build house, should the wiring out be through a rubber gromet or sealed? Water is also ingressing?

Thanks, I had assumed those chrome rings were screwed to the brass assembly behind. but looking at another one of these it looks like they are just spacers. Next question: How can I remove the cartridge? I tried turning the black plastic nut but it started to disintegrate :(

Fitting this Frankie sink drain : Should I use mastic inside to make sure I get a good seal, or will the rubber flange washers be OK on their own?

Problem solved .... To my surprise I found I could knock out the brass insert, I spread Dow Corning sealant around the edge and seal .... ... hey presto .... no more leak when the tap is on!

... No not toolstation ... from a bathroom wharehouse place in Abingdon... it was supposed to have been Italian quality made! .... time for a new tap then :(

Thanks Charnwood .... the tap is about 3yrs old. Its not leaking from around those yellow shaded areas where the tails attach. Yeah maybe a pinhole in the brass block .... does that happen? Is the brass block screwed into the tap body ... could it need a tighten if thats possible?
