Q

hi guys,can someone point me the right direction to dismantle this tap so as I can change whatever is causing it to drip.....as I cannot see anything that I can actually undo.....many thanks in advance

The spindles should unscrew and have a grub screw that holds the main tap handle on, no washers they are quarter turn ceramic discs.

Hi,when you say "spindles" I assume you mean the part of the taps that turn the water on and off...yes ?

The thin round bars that sit 90 degrees to the tap handle (if that makes sense)

Oh right I'm with you,I had no idea they could be removed,cheers for the advice and many thanks

I've just undone the "spindles"....but there is no screw or anything inside the hole,any other ideas ?

If there are no grub screws anywhere, even on th underside, try pullong the heads off. Or getting a thin flat blade in the join and easing off.

Try removing the coloured inserts to see if there are any grub screws beneath.

Otherwise try pouring boiling water over tap heads to expand them.
