My son has a standard kitchen tap with separate hot and cold valves on
either side of the tap. I took a look at it today because it has
developed a steady drip.

The valves are ceramic disc with a quarter turn to full off/full on.

I removed each 'cartridge' and took it apart. I could not see any
problem at all with the ceramic discs they did not appear to be
scratched or damaged, nor was there any grit present. The various seals
were in good condition.

After cleaning and rinsing all components, I put them all back
together, replaced them in the tap and............. drip drip drip!

Anyone any suggestions?
