Hi

We had a new kitchen mixer tap fitted back in October, it was highly rated on tool station and not a bad price.

I noticed yesterday that the part in between the tap handle and the body (in the photo) seems to have come off or something odd has happened so it’s showing the inside connections of the tap?! It used to be a chrome cover if that makes sense. Sorry I’m rubbish at explaining!

Is this a design flaw of the tap or is there anything that can be done to fix this easily?

Thanks
Sarah

It might just have worked loose (by the look of it). The little cap next to the lever is where the screw should be, if you want to do it remove that cover, push the handle back on and tighten. The grub screw is likely an Allen key type.
