No worries mate.
Discuss Replacing basin tap but flexible pipe to replace in the Plumbing Jobs | The Job-board area at PlumbersForums.net
My feeling exactly.
However, I have seen bathrooms in Italy: steel tubing inside wall, with a short flexi from the wall to the tap. And no one carries out routine replacements. They do seem to last okay. I suspect the difference is that both ends of the flexi are properly supported, whereas the OP's system seems to use a flexi to hang a pipe from the tap, which must inevitably lead to increased strain.
OP: If you must use flexis, go to BES (online) and get one of their WRAS approved ones. Reasonable quality for a reasonable price. If you will buy cheap, unapproved products from the likes of Amazon, please bear in mind they are illegal to install anyway (although prosecution is probably reasonably unlikely, for the sake of the quality of the drinking water in the public network (and in your home), don't put drinking water into contact with unapproved materials). EDIT - I'm not talking about the taps, which, being Bristan, will be fine.
