Attempted to change my bathroom tap today.
Isolated the valves and undid the nuts but the bolt holding the actual tap is hard to get to and seized up .
So everything now is back to how it was only I have the slightest bit of water gathering at the nuts.
I'm guessing Ive moved the pipework a little ?
Getting a plumber in to sort the taps out just a bit concerned about the slight bit of water from the nuts.
Should I just isolate the tap for now ?or a bit of PTFE?
Any thoughts ?
 
How much is a bit? If it gets wet it's fine. If it's making your floor/wall/other sensitive furniture wet, try catching it. Will a rag or saucer do it?

Sorry didn't make it clear. It's just a slight weep it's not a drip. It's just like a tear drop around the nut.
Will get a professional in , I don't know why I bother with plumbing myself!
Just didn't want this to turn into a massiveeak but it's all secure apart from the weeping.
