changing flow from bath filler

[wrathkeg]

I have a bath filler tap on my basin (long story). Anyway, it works fine, and doesn't even look that bad. But because of the shape of the end of the spout (sort of elliptical), the water cascades unevenly out of it. This wouldn't be a problem for a bath, but in a basin a more concentrated stream would be better. I can get this effect by sticking a blob of blu-tac to either side of the spout (on the inside!) but I can't see this lasting any period of time I was thinking about whether some kind of putty could be used, and if so, what? One issue I can think of is that sometimes people drink water from that tap, so whatever method I use would need to be suitable for drinking.

If anyone has any suggestions (unless it's "replace your tap"), or can think of any problems doing this might cause, I'd really appreciate hearing them.

TIA,

An epoxy filler such as Devcon 'Plastic Steel' comes to mind, but you would have to check it's suitability for use with potable water.

thanks for that. the suggestion of a filler suitable for potable water got me to do a few searches and come up with this, which sounds ideal. dunno how easy it is to get in the UK though.

that looks something like it

i notice that the seller is in Malta, so I wonder if it isn't generally available in the UK? doesn't really matter, though...
