I#ve recently re-washered the H & C taps on the bathroom handbasin.
Now, both washers were from the same batch, but whereas that on the cold tap remains soft (and requiring more and more turns to shut it off), that on the hot tap has gone hard and seems to be dripping again unless screwed down hard.
I suspect that the hot tap needs reseating, but it there any explanation for the differing performance between the H & C?
