Tried to get to a 1/4 turn tap cartridge today to measure up for a
replacement valve. It's a monobloc style chrome basin tap,
nothing expensive.

I expected that after removing the cap in the middle of the
handle I would see a cross head screw. Undoing that would release
the handle from the top of the valve, the chrome shroud would
come off, revealing the valve, to unscrew & measure....

Mmm.
Removing the cap revealed no screw head? There was what could have
been the very end of a small bolt showing in the centre of the
newly revealed chrome handle body, but no obvious way to proceed?
I even unscrewed 2 of the 4 cross bars on the handle but no grub
screws or anything likely were revealed. The other two bars were
rather reluctant to move so that was that for then.

Anyone seen this type of thing before?
Any pointers welcome!
TIA


Any chance of a picture?

Of what?


A cat.


How about a smartarse?

Feel free to post selfies if you wish.

I feel sure you've got plenty of mirrors to look in.


This badinage is very droll, but I'm interested to know whether you have
solved your tap problem?

Not yet. I was hoping someone would recognise the scenario and
share their success/failure pathways...
Simply put - where you'd normally find a screw that secures the
handle to the top of a ceramic 1/4 turn tap cartridge, there is
no screw, just an odd small central different brassy coloured bit
of metal, possibly the end of a bolt but too small to
tell.

Ring any bells with anyone?
