In an earlier life i did some plumbing, that was pre grey hair days and aches.

Dripping tap in my kitchen
I have a kitchen mixer tap with quarter turn levers and the cold side started dripping. I took out the ceramic valve and replaced it with one from Screwfix but it hasn’t solved the problem it still drips. Could it be a dodgy valve or is it something else? Thanks
