The Fix-A-Tap Kit for Acrylic Baths is designed for homeowners and professional plumbers seeking a stable, long-term mounting solution for 3/4-inch bath taps. Its primary benefit is the patented anti-rotation mechanism that secures faucets firmly to acrylic surfaces, preventing the common issue of loose or wobbly hardware over time. While highly effective for its intended application, users should note that it is precision-engineered specifically for 36mm hole diameters and may not be compatible with non-standard bath materials or tap sizes.

No, this kit is specifically engineered for the structural requirements of acrylic baths.
The kit is designed for a standard 36mm hole diameter.
Yes, the kit includes two of every component, enough to secure both hot and cold tap assemblies.
Yes, the kit includes brass washers which are durable and resistant to corrosion in wet bathroom environments.
No, this kit is specifically designed for 3/4-inch taps.
The included rubber washers are designed to provide the necessary seal, but always follow your specific tap manufacturer's recommendations.
Ensure the brass washers are tightened firmly and the rubber washers are seated evenly against the underside of the bath.
Verify that your bath hole is exactly 36mm in diameter; if it is smaller, professional reaming may be required.
Check that the rubber washers are properly positioned between the tap body and the bath surface to ensure a complete waterproof seal.
To install, ensure your bath mounting hole measures exactly 36mm. Insert the recessed rubber plugs into the tap holes first, ensuring they are seated flush against the acrylic. Place the tap shanks through the plugs, followed by the rubber washers to create a watertight seal, and finish by tightening the brass washers securely from the underside. For long-term care, avoid using harsh abrasive cleaners near the mounting point, as these can degrade the rubber gaskets over time. Periodic inspection of the underside brass washers is recommended to ensure they remain snug after the initial break-in period.
