Hi all,
This issue^ only occurs when water gets splashed or when I'm cleaning around the taps.
Water gets down the gap, drips down the pipes, and onto the concrete floor under the bath.
I literally mean just a few drips, but I still want to fix this before I put the side panel back on (had it off and noticed the problem when I was fitting a new waste).
There is very slight movement when I wiggle the taps (less than 1mm movement maybe), but this shows the taps aren't fully tight.
As you can see from the photos, the pipes are very green, and space to work in is pretty impossible, luckily I'm a skinny bloke so can get my hands up there but god knows how I'm going to loosen and tighten the fitting nuts!
Putting new washers under there is out of the question, there's no way I'm disturbing these green pipes. So do you think I could get away with slopping LOADS of Plumbers Mait around the hole underneath? As there's no pressure causing the drips and it is literally just from sitting water.
See photos, arrows point at where the drips come from, and person being my working space lol.
Cheers for any help!
