First ever plumbing (aside from minor household repairs to leaking joints) for the skipper resulted in a successful outcome, if it took several hours longer than originally anticipated. Lack of space – the difference between buying a product and fitting the product to your own specific environment – meant a spacer was required to bridge from the fitting supplied with the Seagull tap to the underside of the worktop. It took trips to the chandlery, then Halfords, then eventually ToolStation before he found a satisfactory part that could do the job.

New tap!
