Leaking monoblock tap

Hi,



I have a leaking monoblock tap. It's one of these fwiw:

*&SKU=TAP2460I have had the tap apart. Inside there are some bits of plastic (getting technical here). Grease is applied to some of the inside bits.



Question is, how best to fix this thing? Do they need regreasing? If so, what's the grease? Or is it a case of buying new parts? If so where's the best place to get them from.



Thanks,



Paul.


There should have been details of the manufacturer's helpline and spares department with the taps. If not available, MFI may be able to advise. You may need to order a replacement ceramic cartridge from the tap manufacturer. Obviously if still under guarantee then MFI should replace the tap.

Went to MFI but they couldn't help me about the manufacturer of the tap at the store (+ they don't sell the spares themselves). They recommended ringing head office and ask them, so that's what I'll do. All the store could do is to sell me another tap!!

Regards,

Paul.

A lot of taps use standard ceramic cartridges. Remove the cartridge a take it to a good Plumbers Merchants (not one of the group merchants, Plumb Centre, PTS, Grahams, etc etc etc). They can probably help.

OK - thanks for that. I was beginning to think that these sorts of taps were special, so that's reassuring - maybe I won't need to change my tap after all.

I assume its leaking i.e. dripping rather than leaking from the swivel bit?
