Finding tap cartridge to avoid breaking tiles

[HectorD]

Hi,

I just moved in to my new house and found out that the shower tab in one of the bathrooms gets really tight when closing it. The plumber said that the cartridge has to be replaced. However, he can't identify the make of the tap and the cartridge isn't very common apparently.

The plumber said that the first option is to find the replacement for the cartridge but I don't not where to start from - the current cartridge hasn't been removed.

The house was built 8 years ago, so I may be able to get some information from the builders.

What is the best place for finding a cartridge for the tap and how I would describe it? Should I get it removed so I can go to different shops and show it? Is there any online site specialised in taps where I may be able to find it? I there any way I can describe the piece I need without knowing the make / or having the literature about the piece.

Thanks for your help in advance.

Hector
