Taps are generally designed with one
of three types of valve, so Lets begin by identifying which
kind you are dealing with.
|
|
|
Traditional designs
use rubber washers on the end of a compression valve inside
the tap.
These are prone to
the washer’s deterioration with age causing splits and
tears, or the tap head mechanism filling completely
|
|
|
Ceramic disc that is part
of the valve inside the tap.
The ceramic discs wear
over time resulting in the tap continually
dripping
|
|
|
 |
|
Ceramic
cartridge, which operates in a similar way to a
ceramic disc except that it is designed for single
monobloc taps (ie the ones where a single handle
controls both flow and temperature.
These tend to fail at the control
spigot seal resulting in the tap leaking from around
the handle

T.P.S carry all
major brands of Tap replacement parts as part of their van
stock reducing the time it takes to repair your faulty taps
