I have a bath tap with an acrylic plastic handle. The handle is held in place with a screw in the centre of the top. Above the screw there is a recessed plastic disk (red or blue).
Any suggestion as to how I might remove these plastic disks without damaging the handle or the disk. The disks have been there for some time so no doubt held in place by a little grime.
A sharp blade, and hope for the best.
This is one of life's mysteries, ie whether the people who design these things think.
Clean the tops well and leave a damp cloth over them for a few hours, if your water is hard soak with dilute lime scale remover. Look carefully for a recess along the edge of the cap into which insert a small bluntish flat blade screwdriver.
You could try a small rubber sucker - the type used on old toy arrows. Or maybe the disks have a screw thread and require unscrewing somehow.
I am in a hard water area, so the problem could well be limescale. I will try some bleach. Thank you for the suggestion.
Bleach != Lime Scale Remover.
or a stronger-type sucker with a lever can be found on a SatNav windscreen mount. Worked for me.
Vinegar works OK though.
