Default Ceramic disk tap - where to get replacement ceramic disc or repair otherwise?

Go into any decent plumbing suppliers and get a replacement spindle
assembly - they're fairly universal. Take the old top half of the tap
with you to check it will fit, to save a double trip.


Agreed any decent plumbers merchant will have the inserts. With the
mono block be aware that you might want a left hand threaded one. The
operating spindle turns in the opposite direction depending on the
side of the tap it is on so that say "top away" is always "on".
