Kitchen taps

Nightmare water everywhere at midnight last night! Mixer taps have come loose in kitchen. Rubber seal loose. Had a look underneath, and there seems to be a stud with a nut on it that seems tight. What else could there be?

The pipes screw into the base of the tap, with a small O ring. Easy to move the pipe and have it leak, unless assembled with silicone grease.

there is no leak now, thats sorted. The problem is that the tap is wobbling when you move the mixer. Obviously this has caused the pipes to become unattached in the past. How do you stop the base of the mixer tap from moving?
