Dripping Mixer Tap

[steveo44]

Hi

I have a dripping mixer tap that is getting worse by the day. Anyone know how to take this tap apart as it has got me foxed. Cheers.

I would expect the White wheel to pull off the splines in the absence of seeing a screw or circlip in the photo and this will probably reveal the cartridge to be unscrewed from the tap body.

Really? Not a simple fix then?

its a very simple fix but cheaper for a professional to exchange the tap,then you will have trouble free use for several years

Have you got the White wheel off yet and removed the cartridge? Then you have to match it from several on the market unless you know the manufacture, fine for you but for the plumber time is money I`m afraid.

Ain’t planning on using a plumber as I thought this would be simple. Cannot see how to remove the white wheel so guess I need to look at other options.

You tried pulling it off? Don`t expect it to be easy, might need 2 large screwdrivers to prise it off.

looks like plastic type of inserts or insert carrier,they can get brittle & snap off
