Use flexi's all the time, they work yes but you dont have to go superhuman when your tightening it up as its a rubber washer

Only use the WRAS flexis as the other cheap foreign imports are crap and can split, leaving your girlfriend's bath water all over the house. Try Screwfix or Toolstation or better still support your local plumbers merchants.Again, thanks for the responses. I think I'm just going to take a hacksaw to it. Try and break the nut that holds it to the bath, then take the pipe off at the bottom. Then insert a flexible pipe to the new tap.

Bit of work, and my girlfriend is fretting that she's going to be without a bath forever, but it shouldn't prove too difficult (should it??).
Is there anything I should be concerned about? The pipe obviously needs to retain the earth wire attached to it, but is there anything else? Do those flexible pipes work?
