Bathroom Basin Mixer Tap

[telsokari]

Hi all,

I have recently installed a bathroom basin mixer tap but the problem is the tap moves about. i have tightened the back nut when i installed the tap and it was fine for a couple of weeks but is now moving about quite a bit.

I tried silicon on the base of the tap and the basin but that didnt do much and i have also even tried no more nails which didnt do much either

Any ideas on how;/what needs to be done to fix this

This is the tap i have - got it off their Ebay store

You need a tap nut spanner set to tighten the nut up.
Otherwise you will find it very difficult to get the tap secure to the basin.

It's the only sure way of getting a good tight fit.
Providing you have fitted all washer and mounting plates that should have been supplied with the tap. The monoblock tap spanner will do the job, a most valuable tool for fitting monoblock taps.
