As subject really. Any tips for undoing a bath tap that just wants to turn
when I try and undo the pipe work below?

I had thought of a piece of wood wedged against the wall and tap but its
fully tiled round the bath and I thought it might crack a tile.

Its one of those jobs I'd happily pay to have done but can't find a
plumber that would interested in such a small job. Not that any have gave
me a price but I imagine it wouldn't cost that much?!? Any guesses?

Cheers.


Thanks guys for all the advice.
I ended up spinning the tap round 90 degrees and put a large piece of wood
in between the taps and the tiles in order to stop the tap spinning.
Couldn't believe how easy the tap came undone when it was against an
unmoveable object as I had spent the best part of an hour the other day
pulling the tap one way and the spanner against the nut the other way and
nothing would budge it.
It was one of those moments when you hold your breath and pull as hard as
you can and all your veins start to pop out!!!
Anyway taps all changed and now sorted and not even a leak which is a
miracle for me.

Cheers again.
