Stupid question but whereon the underside of the bath do i beed to put the sealant . Is it between the backnut and brass washer or brass washer and rubber or between the rubber and the underside of the bath?

Ive just retightened the backnut again. Its not leaking as much but it seems to be coming from the inside of the backnut and down the thread

Hiya - so my taps are these ( picture 1 ) .They are the ebb and flo bath shower mixer taps. They are similar to the ones i put in my original post as my exact ones i cannot find as they are 2 + yrs old. . We havent really used the little shower thing ( only to clean the bath) . 2 weeks ago we...

One other note - so the flanges/collars on the tap i have are not fixed, so one other option i guess i have is to go to a fixed flange/collar tap as think it leaks from there when water goes on top

Think i may have to concede that this one is above me now and get someone in . Thanks again everyone

I can do but thats exactly what i did yesterday. I bought a essex fix a tap kit and fitted the new rubber seals and brass backnut yesterday and still leaking only on the hot tap.

Yes but input on a new fix a tap kit today , so not sure whats going on. Cold tap is fine . Hot tap is the problem

Thanks for the video . I followed the exact same procedure

Just to get back on this post - the hot water problems haven’t occurred again until last night and today . When i went in the airing cupboard and removed the junk in there i did find another valve - see picture . Didn’t see it last time as i didn’t remove all the junk in the cupboard.

Its also happened on the bath . Sink in the bathroom, kitchen. Ensuite shower and ensuite sink hot tap

Hiya - so its not exclusive to the shower. Yesterday i was in the kitchen washing some dishes and the hot water flow went and nothing came out . I turned the tap off and put it back on and a bit of water dribbled out. I tried it a third time after about 30 seconds and it was fine …

Hiya - he didn’t show his ticket but i have his gas safe number. I have checked and cannot find anything similar to the black valve on the existing pipiework. I have attached pics of what i can see.
