I recently bought the tap from Screwfix which I got a plumber to fit. Initially it dripped so I got the plumber back - we never understood why it dripped but it is ok after he fitted new washers. The next thing that happened was that the cold tap unscrewed causing water to gush out. By 'unscrewed' I mean the handle and spindle with a screw thread (but no washer) at the end came out of its hole. I screwed it back in again but it happened again. I think my wife was turning it off too tightly because the surplus water dripping out of the high neck annoyed her, but she has weak wrists so couldn't have put great force on it.
I cannot keep calling the plumber out because I bought the tap so it is my responsibility to sort it out. Does it sound like a faulty tap or do they do that if turned off tightly?
I hate the tap actually, the hot water squirts out in such a fine fast jet that if it hits anything it showers the user with water - is there anything that can be done about that does anybody know?
