I've plumbed in a new bathroom basin and the flexible pipe/monobloc tap tail and isolating valve basin side joints on the cpold feed are leaking very slightly. I've tried tightening the joints, but they still leak.
The flexibles are from Screwfix and the nuts were an interference fit on the pipe! I had to gently file the inside diameter to get them to slide on the pipe. Hot connections are OK.
Now it's very fiddly in there with virtually no room to swing a spanner, so I'm reluctant to replace everything.
Screwfix sell two leak sealants, user reviews for both praise them highly. One is Fernox LS-X, and needs water turned off, pipe drained and dry surfaces. No hint as to how long it takes to set.
The other is, I suspect, their own brand "No Nonsense". This seems to be appliable under water pressure and presumably while wet. Also claims one hour setting time.
Anyone out there have any experience of either, please?
