Hello, I have a leak under the bath and the issue is the mixing valve. Its leaking from both sides where you can see the white. The 2 joints either side of the mixing tap are leaking, you can see the wet dark patch below. Does anyone know if this product from tool station would work as a direct replacement or is another way to fix it?

You might be able to clean the nuts and remake/repair the joints. The toolstation one should fit providing the lengths of the inlets are the same, one from these may work too. Has anything been leaking onto the nuts?

I cant see anything leaking onto the nuts. I'll take another look and confirm. Would it be worth unscrewing and checking for any broken seals and use some PTFE to seal up screw connections? Thanks for the link
 
It might be worth having a look, but if the olives (sealing part) is crushed onto the pipe, ptfe may/may not work. Wrap ptfe on the olive, not the thread.
