Bathroom mixer tap handle falls off

Mixer tap handle in shower and bathtub loosen and falls off frequently while using. I have attached a pictures of both shower and bathtub taps for reference. Could someone please suggest a fix? Cheers.

Re: Bathroom mixer tap handle falls off

Hi @JasonR7,

 

A warm welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community and thank you for your question.

 

It looks like your taps are missing some pieces that can be replaced with ones from this Kinetic Spout And Handle Repair Kit.

 

The shower tap looks like you've got the locking nut, you just need a replacement horseshoe washer.

 

The bathtub tap looks like you'll need both the locking nut and a horseshoe washer.

 

Check out @EricL's fantastic advice on Page 2 of How to remove leaking laundry tap handle?

 

Follow the guidance in this discussion and you should have no worries getting the taps to stay in place.

 

Let me know how you go and if you have further questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

 

Jacob
