Dripping Tap (1 Viewer)

[Rosie and David]

I have one of those mono taps with lifting lever in the kitchen sink my Exsis. It has started to drip, not an annoying noise but if the tap is parked next to the sidewall water collects and runs everywhere. Unlike household taps where you replace the washer, is there any way of fixing it apart from a Brownhills replacement at £157. Not easy to get to after removing drawers etc and you need tiny hands too!

you can get a new internal block from screwfix, just need the tap type/number, i got one for ours about £5.00, not easy to fit though take pictures before you remove it

Thanks, I will look into it when I am back home. In the meantime - cloths and towels.

Thanks that looks good and certainly cheaper than a new tap, and I have a screw fix not far away. A job for when I get back.

Measure the internal width of your tap as there are two sizes

When I did mine it was a bit of a faff to remove a retaining collar. A pair of long nose pliers may be required.
