Ceramic valve supplier?

[Paul5454]

Hello.
Anyone know where I can get odd-sized ceramic tap replacement valves? I've tried everywhere Google can offer. One supplier said my measurements were for a 3/8" or 15mm valve, but he and everyone else only sell 1/2" or 3/4" BSP. They were installed by a plumber 6 years ago, and I don't know the manufacturer.

Thanks.
Paul

Post a picture of your tap, may help.
You will probably finish by getting new taps, I did & I think most others seem to.

Thanks for the reply. Hope we don't need new taps, the wife paid about £400 for them! I know, you've no need to tell me.

Sorry about that. They definitely aren't private. Checked and rechecked the settings. No idea. Thanks anyway.

If you paid that much for taps, do you not know the manufacturer.?

Thanks for all the replies and help. The one for ebay doesn't do them. The Lunns site looks very encouraging, however...
Stax emailed me and said he thought they were from their discontinued Deva/Methven range. I contacted them, and he was right. I ordered 2 pairs this afternoon at a cost of £51, so I'm well pleased.
Maybe anyone else with the same problem could think about trying them, before buying new taps.

Thanks to all once again.
