Ceramic disk tap - where to get replacement ceramic disc or repair otherwise?
I have a mixer tap in the kitchen which is just beginning to drip a
little, it's a quarter-turn ceramic disk type. The insides look pretty standard although I haven't taken it completely apart yet. Where can one buy either replacement ceramic discs (are they standard?) or replacement tap innards? I've looked at both Screwfix and BES but couldn't see anything, maybe I'm not searching for the right words. -- Chris Green |

Preferably the manufacturer of the innards if it is marked (there are only a few) or less usefully the manufacturer of the whole tap. San Marco were super helpful when I needed a replacement. |

On looking at Brev, we appear to be talking about the same place ... -- John |

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember saying something like: Hello I have the same problem of dripping kitchen tap with ceramic discs and quarter turn monobloc mixer tap from screwfix. Did you get any useful replies as I am at a loss as well. thanks. 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. |

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". -- Cheers Dave. |
