leaking tap

[jonoe]

how do you replace the valve in a mono basin tap which is constantly running

 

[JonB]

Is it a standard screw type tap or a quarter turn seramic disc tap.

I have a dripping quarter turn bath tap - local suppliers cannot supply the insert replacement unit labelled CD\HB-BS5412-2
Does anyone know where to get these

try lunns - www.lunns.net- they carry a big range

my tap is leaking from the handel, only when its running. is it just a case of changing the washer

is it just a case of changing the washer

Probably not.
If it is not leaking when turned off, but leaks from round the handle/spindle when turned on it is probably an 'O' ring inside the mechanism.
