Default repairing a bath mixer tap

Andy brought next idea :
Is it possible to get spare parts for taps? What has happened is the shaft
that the tap head is connected to has rounded. Its a tap with standard tap
washers, not ceramic discs. Any ideas?


The Plumb Centre sell tap repair kits designed to adapt to a variety of
taps. Basically they are a complete replacement for the working parts
plus knob of a tap, plus various adaptors. Take your existing tap
internals along to see if one would fit.

I've not seen individual parts available. Would using Screwfix tap-reviver
kits be any use?

Eg http://www.screwfix.com/app/sfd/cat/...11577&ts=93988

I've used them with mixed success as sometime the reach of the new tap
mechanism is incorrect for the old tap body. If it does not work, they are
pretty good about refunds.

Regards

Bob

The message

Probably as easy to find someone who can build it up with braze and file
it square again.

hi there,
yes all spare parts regarding your mixer taps should be sold at your
local plumbing shop. just bring the part you require and you shouldn t
have any probs. this includes washers, spindles o rings etc. the cost
is really minimal.
