Hi Guys,

Got called out today to an office with a "dripping tap" it had been dripping for about 2 years before i came to it, i changed the washers (its a mixer tap on a kitchen sink, not 1/4 turn) did not help. so i re-seated the hot and cold sides, that didnt fix the drip either, i reseated the hot side once again but still did not stop the drip,

they have a combi boiler so the tap is mains pressure on both sides, is there any thing else i can try to do? it seems like its not repairable but i have never come accross a tap i couldnt fix. there was no grit or debris in the valve housing or anything.

has this tap had it?

Well if you did all that obseen, I think I can safely agree that tap has defiantly 'had it'

Bit like when you see these medical operating scenes were they are trying to save someone’s life, you have to call time on a job sometime and let that time be now at 11.50am 6/1/2010,time to wipe out a new, sparkling kitchen tap and impress the office girls 😀
