Kitchen Tap Replacement ? So Much choices

[Jeremy2014]

Hi, I'm looking for recommendations for a new kitchen tap. My existing tap is a Franke and it's started leaking, so I'm considering replacing it rather than repairing.

What brands or models would you recommend for a reliable, good-quality mixer tap? Something with readily available spare parts. Would you stick with Franke, or recommend looking at brands such as ?

And is there anything in particular I should look out for when choosing a replacement?

Plenty of options available, but stick to well known brands. Where is the existing leaking from?

Leaking from a couple of places now (below the screw of each handle and now from the tube base too)- two plumbers had a look beforehand ( boiler man and someone else) and they recommended changing it, as it was tricky to get to the cartridge. One mentioned that Franke was not ideal for cartridge replacement.

is that a good brand?

seems extremely cheap? seems bargain price versus the full price?

Probably hit and miss. Iflo is City Plumbings own brand and could be made by anyone, so spares may not be readily available.
