    i pulled the neck of the tap side to side this morning when filling the sink and was probably a bit too rough with it.

    its now loosened and water coming out at the bottom at the nut junction when tap is turned on.

    it looks like something can can be fixed if i turn the neck of the tap clockwise a few times as it seems to screw in but it wont turn fully clockwise because of the wall behind.

    any ideas how to fix? i have attached pic.

    thanks in advance.

    I don't know this particular tap, but it should be just a matter of turning the ring/nut anticlockwise until it screws off. Make sure there isn't a grub screw in the ring to stop it from turning when moving the spout during normal use.

    It should then be just a matter of fitting a simple "O" ring and reassemble.
