Kitchen sink mixer tap drips - can it be fixed?
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? Anybody been there & done that, successfully? Photo of what looks to be the same beast here - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Reginox-Elb.../dp/B005MI3DVS I notice that the Amazon item carries a 15-year guarantee - "(excluding working and serviceable parts, abuse or neglect)" - we have pumped well-water supply - so it's quite possible that some grit as found its way into the valve... Thanks, Adrian |
