I think I may have asked this before but can't locate the thread :/ apologies. Can anyone confirm the correct skin diameters I should be buying to replace skins on a standard quinto, conga and tumba?

Yes, or even slighty bigger in diameter, as some congas and tumbas have got a skin angle that does not slope steeply and herefore requires more skin. Meinl is an example of that.
