Hi All;

I hope you are all well and safe.

I have a tap/mixer in my bathroom sink which the tap is very hard to turn, and I'd like to change the tap cartridge, however I'm struggling to remove the cap, and I do want to ruin it.

Do you know how to remove the cap for the following tap in the picture pls?

Have you tried the small chrome domed piece? Unscrew anti clockwise

Hi

the cap is off, the cartridge is stuck! Right hand tap.

Do I turn the cartridge clockwise or anti-clockwise pls?

Hi Lucio,

It’s Anticlockwise. If it’s really stuck, you could try pouring boiling water on it and wait to cool a bit?

Hi Guys

thank you, I'll try this tomorrow, as I had some wine and my skills have rapidly reduced to only being able to hold a glass!

Thanks
