Attention any plumbers

I've just fit some new taps in the bathroom, you know the stainless flexible pipe that fits to the tap? the seal is knackered, can you get new ones or just get a new flexi pipe, if you can get em, what size are they?

Just buy the flexis cause if the fibre washer is corroded the rest of the flexi pipe could be getting knacked and when you disturb them they have a habit of splitting. Make sure you get the right ones ie Bath or sink cause they are a differrent size tap connector.

That's why I can't help, I've even gone in with a sample and been convinced that, 'actually this is what you need'.

You can get replacement washers at B&Q, Homebase or any good plumbers merchants.
They are usually the bigger 22mm ones but i'm sure the staff will assist.

Its called Screwfix.

If you take your old washer with you they may be able to find a replacement.

Homebase may have them in too.
