    Hi everyone, thank you for taking the time to read.
    I've had this waterfall tap installed for months and never finished the tiling because the waterfall part doesn't sit far enough back over the water spout to stop the water spraying everywhere!

    I've heard there's an extension of some kind I can add to make the spout longer. Or is there a way to unscrew and replace the spout part...

    An ex neighbour started the job and had to move before it could be finished. If anyone could send a product link if there is one I'd be very appreciative or any support in general.

    Thank you,
    Tim

    Not sure about the availability of the part you are after.

    but have you considered / is it workable to cut a hole in the tile so that the (waterfall) part of the tap fits just inside the hole, therefore going back far enough???

    Would you still be able to secure it in place that way???

    I've had this exact thought, but there is a metal plate that sits behind the tap and over the tile to make it look nice. It's defiantly on my list of answers if there's no other, but it may not look as tidy as it should once completed :)

    Could the rectangular metal plate be recesssed into the tiles?
