Hi,How do i change the ceramic disc cartridge on a Hudson Reed tec leverbath shower mixer with swivel spout.tel 354.
 
1/ order a new one.
2/ check it is what you ordered.
3/ turn water supply off.
4/ remove old cartridge and install new cartridge.
5/ turn water back on and test
 
Hi Oz thanks for replying.The problem i've got is when i remove the handle theres not enough of the cartridge exposed.I've tried using a socket but it's tight.Any advice will be appeciated

Pics recieved.
That's tight in there. If the socket you have is too fat, try taking it to a car parts shop or similar where they sell single sockets and see if you can get a narrower one. If not then either try to contact the manufacturer to see if they can help or replace the taps.

Bloody lousy design that , as JC suggests you need what they call a “deep”socket, if you know a friendly car guy he will have some .
 
or a box spanner
 
Hi,Spoke to adviser from Hudson Reed.He told me it's a push fit cartridge just pull it out.I haven't tried it yet waiting for the weekend incase it's a disaster.
 
But 17mm fits? Try a deep 17mm 6-sided socket or box spanner. 12-sided sockets are quite likely to slip on brass, as they can just round the corners off.
 
Halfords, amazingly, used to have a fairly decent range of sockets you could buy individually.

Just tried other tap and 18mm fits,looks like other tap is rounded.How do i get out of this one?zThanks.
 
Can you get a socket similar to the Metrinch brand type, or even a Metrinch socket? Some other decent sockets have a similar system in place. I believe they are also known as knucklesavers.
 
Hi, instead of trying to find the ceramic discs, would you be interested in maybe changing the tap itself? If so and you can take the bath panel off and have a look at the setup,take some pictures. I'm sure me and the rest of the lads could try and keep you right. At the end of the day, if you know where to turn the water off you can have a shot at it. £40 for a set of taps and an afternoon fitting them would spare you the hassle of sourcing parts, just a suggestion :)

Brass tap body is leaking.
I have attached an image of the brass body within a tap. Having replaced a cartridge which has cured a leaking tap, I can see that there is a small leak from the brass body which can be unscrewed. Is there a seal behind the body? Thanks.
