Kitchen mixer tap.

Jan 03, 2005 1 Replies

Hi all.



Ive got a (single) mixer tap in the kitchen and first it began leaking cold water when off (wierd, I know) and now hot.



Now it virtually gushes (Im exaggerating) when off and I must shut both valves under the sink when not in use.



Can I repair this with some washers and an allen key?



Thanks.


Winslow,

Look on the faucet for the manufacturer and any other markings. Go to the manufacturer's web-site and try to find your faucet. With luck there'll be info there on how to dismantle and service it. It's probably a bit more involved than just a couple of faucet washers but isn't hard once you locate the correct parts.

Good luck, Dave M.
