I’m trying to change the washers in these taps to stop it dripping. I can’t see how I can get the tap heads off though. Can anyone help?

Thanks

Basically you release the gland nut at the top, but try googling ‘dismantling a supatap’ or similar.

Ah Supataps. Have you got the correct washers? Ordinary tap washers will not work on these.

Yup, usually they're an encased seal these taps use, similar to this -

you will need to get the old ones out to ensure you get the correct size/type, they sometimes need a new jumper too.

As far as I recall, Supataps' shroud has a left-hand thread - bear this in mind when removing shroud
