New Modern Cross Head Bathroom Chrome Basin Sink Mono Mixer Tap With Free Waste | eBayAh! So the spout is different?!Doesn't matter - almost certainly half-inch :-)Might be worth a dry-run first - make sure the valves are easy to remove? Then you can confirm the size, and lightly replace the valve - it'll be super-easy to remove when you get the parts.I'd add a tube of silicone grease to your arsenal - give the washers a smear, ditto the threads and O ring on the valve. And if your tap isn't turning smoothly, it might also be the opportunity to sort that - easy to do, and it'll transform the way the tap operates.Happy you know the sequence? Plenty YouTube vids, and we can guide too.1
