The tap on my bath just lifts straight out of the hole. It appears to of been stuck down originally as there is no nut/washer to clamp to bath. What do I use to stick it to bath to stop it moving - it has a seal between bath and tap.

Without knowing what type or brand of faucet it is, whether you are referring to the vlave body itself or just the knob, it is impossible to answer this question. Even a photo of the entire thing would help. Sorry.

Hi Rita

Your best bet, of course, would be to gain access though an access panel on the backside of the wall... install proper washer and nut and be done with this.

However, if you don't want to go to that trouble (actually not "trouble" for an experienced person), you could try purchasing a simple ADHESIVE CAULKING... caulk the faucet down tight and leave it overnight to dry... should last for awhile anyway!

Back to you...
