Ive got a brita tap and it's worked it's way loose. It was fitted before i moved in and it's so tight up there to get a spanner in. Any advice?

+1 - often called "box" or "back nut" spanner on eBay / Amazon

I normally find disconnecting the waste and lifting the sink out for access is best but can't see a sink in your picture.

Yep, set of mono block tap spanners from Amazon/ebay is what you need.

Aye, box spanners. <£5 on the eBay. Stack them together and tighten it up.

A vital part of my tool box.
