Hopefully someone can suggest an easy solution.
I'm trying to tighten a loose tap on a hand basin.
I've tried using a basin wrench - both the fixed head spanner like type and the spring loaded column type with no success.
I can get the wrench on to the nut but there just isn't enough room to get a good grip or to turn the nut. Here's a picture of the problem:
So far I've only managed to hand tighten the nut!
I can't see a solution to this other than maybe removing the water connection pipe and then finding a very deep socket spanner to reach the nut. This would mean extra expense in buying the spanner and it would probably be just as cheap to call a plumber which also sounds like a crazy waste of money for what should be an easy job.
The other option is to take the basin off the wall but I foresee problems in doing this.
Is there something obvious I am missing?
