Basin Mixer Taps

[bobsyeruncle]

OMG I am about to rip out my soddin sink and throw a fit!!!!

I have been through two different mixer taps on this sink in the past year ... i just can't seem to install them properly, they always leak at the tap/flexitail connection.

I have tried connecting very tight ... tried using PTFE ... tried hand tight ... tried hand tight and quarter turn.

I am so close to fitting a bath filler .. it jsut seems so much easier!

Do you mean where the flexis connect to your house plumbing or at the taps themselves ?
