Discuss Advice - Removing tap cover in the DIY Plumbing Forum area at PlumbersForums.net
Hi there was interested in the kitchen tap where you said you'd removed the screw. Mine's very similar but the hole is so small it's hard to see inside. Is it a normal crosshead screw or allen type or what?Hi all,
I am trying out DIY plumbing on some of the leaking pipes but I have run into problems dismantling the taps further. Any ideas/suggestions will be very, very much appreciated. Cheers.
Tap 1 - Toilet tap
If I supposed to pry open the "Lubben" button, how do I do so when there's hardly any groove on which I can pry?

Tap 3 - Bathroom Tap
When the tap was turned on, a considerable amount of water flowed from the outlet as indicated by the arrow. When I pulled up the diverter as much as I could, the unwanted water flow reduced by quite a lot, but there was still water flow at the arrow. So is it a problem with the tap cartridge or diverter cartridge?

I wasn't sure if I was supposed to remove the handle or the diverter. In any case, I tried removing the handle and wasn't able to proceed further. I wasn't able to twist the golden component.
