Dripping kitchen mixer tap - problem with pressure?

[helsbels]

We live on a farm and the main water pipe comes down a long driveway and then splits off two ways - 1) to the main farmhouse, which then feeds a pressure washing bay on one of the other units and 2) to the other units, including a small commercial kitchen, and another pressure washing bay. In the main farmhouse, we've had issues with a knocking sound under the kitchen sink which I believe is something to do with the machinery used in the small commercial kitchen (they make natural juices from fruit). Then I started seeing the kitchen mixer tap (cold) dripping when using the outdoor tap or whilst running a bath. Now the kitchen mixer tap is dripping for most of the day (I think the dripping is linked with when the other units are using water), so I wonder if it's related to pressure and what would be the best action to resolve it. Thanks!

Likely be the kitchen mixer tap has a ceramic cartridge and is letting water through it when pressure drops. Usually best with new cold cartridge, but there are a lot of different types of cartridges with varying number of splines etc to fit the tap handle.

Thank you. Yes, it is a ceramic cartridge, but the tap was cheap and probably best to change the whole tap I think. Should I just replace it with something similar, or is there a different type of tap that would be more suitable for these regular pressure changes?
Appreciate your help, thank you.

I would suggest it is still worth repairing by just replacing the faulty cartridge and hopefully that will solve your problem. That is of course if the tap is in otherwise good condition.
If you know the make of the tap, (or post photo on here of tap), it might be possible to identify what cartridge needed.

Thanks for your advice. The tap is a little bit stained on the spout so I think I'll just replace it, thank you.
