HI Folks
We had a lever-operated kitchen kitchen sink mixer tap fitted about four
years ago - in the past few months it's started dripping.
It has quarter-turn levers - I'm guessing that these operate ceramic
valves?

If so - does anybody have experience of obtaining replacement valves,
and how are they fitted. I'm expecting that the lever is held on by a
screw, under the end-cover - but how do you get the conical cover off
without damaging the chrome?

WD40 & luck! Strap wrench? Or find spares & get the mole grips
Â* out.Â* Put new ones on with coppaslip on threads.

Yes - very handy, thanks.
Looks like ‚¬30 plus p&p for a pair of valves.
The complete tap cost about ‚¬130, four years ago, and I see that the
same tap unit is available brand new on Amazon for UKP 54....
so it may make more sense to replace the whole tap.
