Hi,
My bathroom tap keeps working loose, not the whole tap just the bit that screws into the main body of the tap (is it called the plunger ?).
The taps have a nut just below the handle which turns as I turn the handle either on or off, but gradually works loose and comes out and obviously lets the water flow continuously.
If i tighten the nut up so that it doesnt turn, the tap becomes very stiff to turn on or off.
Is there a trick of the trade for tightening this nut up, for example doing it when the tap is fully on or fully off ?
The tap is a copy of an old style by "Bensham" if that makes any difference.
Any advice appreciated
