Leaking mixer spout....

[Glasgowman]

Hi the spout on my tap has a leak from the bottom where the spout meets the base of the mixer. I’ve took the spout of with the small screw at the back. Had a look inside and there’s no washer at all. So I’ve replaced the two washers that you can see on the tap, there’s an extra space that looks as though it should have a washer but it hasn’t, not sure if that’s maybe the slot that the screw screws into to to hold the spout on. I’ve replace the two old washers with new ones, and the biggest washer at the top is stopping the spout from going back on. I tried rubbing fairy liquid over it to see if it would slid on but it tore the washer. Any suggestions thanks

Obtain correct sized washers, fit to where they should be fitted, apply a wras approved silicone grease and not corrosive to rubber fairy liquid and should fit like a glove.

Think I cracked it, slide on a smaller washer so that it stretched a little which reduced it in size. Leak seems to be away now . Cheers

I stand corrected @Glasgowman, they’re called Orings not washers 🙄
