the bathroom tap started to leak so I took off the tap, thinking that I would need to replace a seal or washer. Now I cant put it back together. If I remove the seal it will fit back in - but the seal sits on a shelf and it cant go any further and I cant screw the whole thing back together. HELP!
Hi @ennoh,
You have the spindle shank unscrewed too far. Grip the copper section and turn the chrome spindle shank anti-clockwise. This will draw the spindle shank and washer back further. Keep turning the spindle shank anti-clockwise until it stops. I think you'll find you can then screw the whole thing back into the sink.
Let me know if that works for you.
Mitchell
