Resulting from Covid travel restrictions, I wasn’t able to visit my boat from July until Spring. I didn’t fully drain down my water system and it took a heavy toll over a frosty winter. I had to replace 3 taps. I have a French made boat.
Like for like replacements from the original source cost, typically, around £180. There is a bewildering range of taps available easily searched by google. Almost all seem to use standard threads and fittings. I replaced with virtually-identical taps at a fraction of the cost.
Someone suggested bidet taps (with a shower head/hose) as a potential source of non-marine replacement shower bits. Not sure how they’d survive on the transom though?!
Last trip my shower broke causing the hose to make a big mess of the bathroom before I could turn it off. The plastic thread broke away from the shower head.
The engineer wasn't convinced I had no input into it's demise. Had it not been my cabin there may have been questions asked!
