My radiator came off the wall a few years ago. Wasn’t too happy at first but @thedancingbaby sorted me out with a tremendously generous insurance payout on behalf of his employers. First class customer service to replace all the downstairs carpets.

Tap is gone…won’t tighten at all, I suspect it wasn’t the washer… What’s to be done? Worrying times ahead.
Call Irish Water. Apologise. Ask them for help. Simples.

Whats the cure for water on the brain?
A tap on the head.

I’d guess the plunger thingy is gone jagged and is eating into the new washer.
Dismantle it again and put your finger into it and see if it’s rough. Where the washer sits into the tap and seals it off ought to be smooth on both the plunger and the place where the plunger goes … This is caused by using the tap with a damaged washer, was it leaking for long ?
Hope this makes sense buddy.
You either need to file the joining pieces with a specialist tool or replace the tap.
I’m getting a plumber in, I’ve done my bit.
Good. You’re very narky of late and hopefully this will be one problem less to antagonise you.
