water under taps

[newplumb]

I have put in a pumped mixer shower above the bath, now when we use the shower water is getting under the bath taps and soaking floor under bath. Really difficult to get at taps. would putting silicant sealer along edge of taps work??
thanks

Try top hat washers under the bath to centralise the taps and some silicone sealant under washer where tap meets the top of the bath.

Top hat washers are TH shape - they go between the nut and bath on the underside of the bath to spread load/hold sealant / grip better.

I assume however that you can't get tthe taps off. So the best you can do is clean everything you can get at with bent bits of metal etc between taps and bath (use a descaler first) then clean with meths on a rag then get some silicone in there. The clear one might be least noticeable.
