Tap Reviver

[anjme]

Has anyone come across a tap reviver with a depth of over 32mm?

I have come across some taps that are at least forty years old with a seat depth of 40mm.

The head has snapped off and taps are very difficult to change:

The bath panel is black ceramic (or something similar ?) and is impossible to remove without lifting cusion floor and plyboard sheeting so tap revivers are the best option if possible.

no have not but try it anyway it may be cheepest option
but bath pannel should be removable as u may get leak under their

especial if tap moves when your putting strain on it

Bath panel could well be cast iron if it is old.

now they are a SOB

came across one once the front panel was part of the tub

That bath panel could be compressed glass Vitralite, very difficult to remove without damaging it.

I've snapped at least one of them.

These old taps (mixertaps?) can be a nightmare when you start putting modern revievers in them, had one a few years ago where she rang back every few months, the thread kept bottoming out and not turning off.
