Kitchen Mixer Tap leaking from handle

Kitchen Mixer Tap leaking from handle:

The valve or cartridge (cartridge used in a single lever tap) may need tightening or replacing.

If you are unsure which valve or cartridge to order why don’t you email us a picture of your Kitchen Tap and we will identify the Tap and Valve or Cartridge required.

If the valve bush comes out with the valve, order a new set of valve and valve-bush.

If you have replaced the valve just remember that new valves can take a few days for the rubber washer to “be bed down”. Tighten the valve and if leak continues after tightening please contact us on sales@tapsandsinksonline.co.uk.
