I wanted to ask more experienced users if there is any possibility of repairing the leaking tap like on the photo.
The apartment is not mine and my landlord hasn't really wanted to fix it for over a year. The plumber sent by him said that he could not repair it and would have to replace the entire bathtub (!)
Please advise how to fix it.
Thank you very much for your interest in the topic.
Today I finally have free time to start doing it.
Unfortunately, but the nut is so tightly attached to the tap handle that I am not able to separate these two parts.
So far I have tried to use WD40 but no luck.
Any advice on how to deal with this?
In the meantime, I tried to see if I could replace the taps (the "plumber" sent by my owner almost a year ago said it was impossible to change the taps and he had to replace the bathtub!)
I noticed that the tube for cold water(2) is thinner than for hot water. I would like to ask for help in choosing flexible connections.
Where I can buy female to female 15mm - 3/4 flexi and a 22mm - 3/4 flexi ? I have checked Screwfix but from the photo looks like ends of a connector are different(men-female) where should be almost the same(female - female) or should I use:
screwfix - 52588 with screwfix - 6368g and screwfix - 71287 with screwfix - 95563??
I am looking for the simplest solution that does not require any cutting.
It prefers to use adapters / reducers - whatever you call it. I want to replace it quickly, because as I mentioned it is not my home, so I would like to spend as little time as possible on it. I am extremely grateful for all help and advice. Thank you very much
I think the simplest solution would be to use connectors you proposed together with Straight Coupler 15/22mm with Compression Olive 15/22mm

Hi, basic question, any insight much appreciated.
Looking to have an outdoor tap in my front porch fed from 15mm pex coming up from suspended floor. Pic 1 is inside porch, pex temporarily clipped to give an idea of pipe placement (ignore shoddy blockwork of booted cowboy builder!), Pic 2 is...
Hello all,
I’m replacing a concrete paving slab patio in the back yard. The original patio used 50mm deep concrete slabs on hardcore & sand. I’m planning to pour a 100mm deep concrete patio on 100mm hardcore. In order to achieve the same final height to line up with the rest of the patio, I...
