1/4 turn ceramic tap inserts

I have had these in our bathroom for a few years and the hot tap is dripping. This tap only has about 2m head from the tank and I wonder if these taps need greater pressure to seal properly. The cold tap is working at mains pressure and is giving no trouble.



Anyone know?



TIA

If it's just the seals that are playing up, you could try
