Tap Tails?

Hi,
I need to get hold of some flexible basin tap tails (as I believe they are called!) but searches in the usual DIY shops have proved fruitles. It apears that the mixer tap we have is of an odd size - 15mm x 15mm/12mm x 15mm and 10mm x 15mm tails all seem to large on the tap end.
The mixer originallly came from B&Q but they certainly don't stock a replacement tap tail - surely other people have bought taps from there and needed a reeplaceemt at some point.......

Can anyone shed any light on where I can get a smaller tap tail or am I destined to shell out for new taps?

many thanks

    Have you got any small plumbers shops near you, they'll aa have them. Or is there a PlumbCentre

    You should be able to get fittings to fit on the end of the pipe to step-up or step-down a size.

    Hi.

    Bristan taps by any chance?

    GSR.

    Just curious, what happened to the original ones?
    Ask to see CIPHE (Chartered Institute of Plumbing & Heating Engineering)
