I'm interested in a house at the moment, but among a small number of snags I have noticed that one of the taps in the bathroom sink s very loose. you can turn the entire thing by its nozzle with almost no force. Is it a big job to get it properly secured? Is it just a case of tightening a nut or two, or does it need to be properly sealed by a professional?

One of my taps was loose in the bathroom all my hubby did was tighten it with some grips and its done the trick,and it doesn't spin round now.

But i have been waiting months for him to do it ????:rant:

Just get some mole grips underneath the sink to tighten the securing nut and you should be OK.

There is a large nut underneath that needs tightening. Usually straightforward, but there may be some corrosion that may make it stiff.

There should also be a seal (usually rubber) between the metal of the tap and the surface of the sink.

So it looks like a very small job I could do myself? Cool. Thanks guys.

As for a (rubber) seal between the metal of the tap and the sink, I didn't get a close enough look, but presumably I could find something suitable down at B&Q...?

10 minute job, all items cheap(ish).
