Beaumont seat inserts

[trich]

Hi all,
We've had dripping taps since moving in to our house. Replacing the washers didn't really help because the valve seats were so corroded. I had a go at using a tap reseating tool but some of the channels are just too deep:

Would a seat insert help? I've seen Oracstar Drip Cure mentioned elsewhere but the inserts don't look compatible with the Beaumont taps we have

Any ideas or am I missing a trick?

Thanks,

Those seats are in a dreadful state, Rich......they'll be nothing but trouble so I'd recommend new taps there.

OK, thanks John. New taps were the last resort
