    Dorf mixer tap still leaking after new cartridge

    I have a Dorf mixer tap that is leaking from the body. A plumber has replaced the cartridge but it is still leaking when the tap is turned off. Do these taps have other parts that need replacing? Suggestions would be most welcome. Regards, Lyn

    How to change cartridge on unusual mixer tap without removable cap

    Any idea how to get into the cartridge on this tap. I can remove the spout and also unscrew the sleeve on both hot and cold. No idea if there is a cap for the levers to remove. Thought for a while that it was an anti clockwise unscrew, but that doesn't work either :-(

    Grohe basin mixer tap cover not coming off

    I have a Grohe "Eurosmart Cosmopolitan" mixer tap which doesn't turn fully to the right (cold). I fear some sloppy installation and/or an (unwanted) hot water limiter incorrectly installed. Anyway, the guy who installed it is long gone so I'm on my own DIY now. I took the grub screw out no...

    I have a kitchen mixer tap which has developed a leak. It has been installed and without leaks for 18 years so I suspect a perished seal? I attach photos of the mixer tap and the underside where it is weaping. I would appreciate some advice on how to fix this.

    Bathroom Mixer Tap - Tapping Noise

    I have a Roca bathroom mixer tap, when hot water drains through the trap there is a high pitch tapping noise which sounds like it’s coming from within the mixer or trap itself. It’s not a knocking noise like the pipe rubbing on stud wall as it’s very a high pitch noise. Sometimes it can be...

    Single lever monobloc mixer tap with new cartridge is still leaking (not dripping from spout).

    The tap was leaking from its body (under the 2-way swivel handle; where you access the big brass nut and the cartridge) when turned ON more that a little bit. I've replaced the cartridge and it leaks in same way. It doesn't drip from the spout nor leak when turned off. So, as far as I can see...

    Kitchen mixer tap support

    Hi What is a good tap support to use for a replacement kitchen mixer tap? Are the Sauer ones good and simple enough to install? There are two types of the sauer ones- circlip or full circle support. The Franke support gets mixed reviews (no pun intended)

We recommend City Plumbing Supplies, BES, and Plumbing Superstore for all plumbing supplies.
