Hi there, new to the forum and would like some advice on the following problem please:
I have a lever tap on the bathroom sink and also on the bath. Both are quite stiff to operate, and the one on the sink also makes a noise when you operate it. It sounds a bit like an old door with hinges that need oiling, if that make sense. It is also quite jerky. I have removed the top of the tap to take a look, and also slightly slackened the brass nut that holds the "workings" in place. This seemed to make matters better for a bit, but now back to square one. It also seems to be worse when the tap has been running with hot water for a while.
The taps are only about 18 months old. Any ideas gratefully received!
