Re: How to fix tap fallen off?

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @ibbye. It's wonderful to have you join us and many thanks for your question about tap repair.

 

It appears that the spout screws onto the exposed threaded section. Given that the wall prevents it from undoing in situ, it sounds like the threads are damaged, which has allowed it to be pulled off. I can't think of any way to re-install the spout without removing the whole tap. Even then, I suspect that it won't secure adequately, given that it has already come off.

You might be looking at replacing the tap if there is damage to the spout threads.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
