Hi I replaced my hot and cold tap tonight cause the cold tap couldn’t turn the water of tap was just spinning. Fitted fine with no leaks. Now I have a leak coming from the middle bit where the chrome threaded ring is. Do I need to tighten the chrome threaded bit up in the middle to stop the leak or is there a washer within that’s easy to access, or is it a full new tap I need?
Cheers

I have a leaking wall mounted bathroom tap
I have a wall mounted bathroom tap that leaks. Presumably I need a washer of sorts replaced. I cannot work out which tool I need to remove the tap. There is a small hole (8mm?) to the side but I can’t seem to get a fixing from either a alum key or screwdriver. Ever hopeful…? Matt
