New Faucet

No sooner had I mended the leak was I handed the faucet. It's meant to be in the shower and not in my hand.

So, quickly replaced it, and discovered that the bodge that is the shower unit needed more bodging than first thought. New faucet will be refunded tomorrow. Quick repair to the old faucet, plus a liberal clean (it hasn't looked this good for many years), and we're glueing it back into place.

The shoestring, only string I could find quickly, is to keep it in place as the glue hardens. Note the faucet is not glued to the shower surround, merely the pipe that comes through the wall. I can see another repair with a bracket in a few weeks, if not sooner.
