Hi

I need to replace the washer on a bath tap. The tap is probably 30
years old, but is ok. The washer appears to be 7/8" but none of the
plumber's merchants I have tried carry that size.

Is 7/8" a recognised tap washer size or have I missed something?

Tap washers are measured by the bore of the pipe, not the diameter of the
washer. That is almost certainly a 3/4" washer - a very common size for
baths.
