What's the easiest way to fix a washbasin mixer tap so that it doesn't slowly loosen itself and start to rotate when using the taps.
Got one of these -

Does it have a fully threaded rod going down through the basin and then a hefty C-shaped washer and long hex nut underneath?
If necessary, shorten the threaded rod so that it doesn't extend too far below the nut, and then use a socket spanner on the nut.
[The threaded bar probably has a slot at one end to enable you to screw it into the tap with a screwdriver. If you need to shorten it, cut some off the *other* end - and screw the shortened end into the tap.]that sound like just the job
thanks
Don't *over*-do it, though - you don't want to crack the basin!
