Leaking Tap Solution

[Mclouis700]

Just filled the water tank in preparation for our first outing this year, all good so far then a waterfall !! from the kitchen work top. a quick switch off of the water pump and mop up the mess.The Mixer tap leaking. Had a similar problem 10 years ago which cost me £59 for a new tap as I was told no serviceable parts ( a lie ) I have now found that replacement 35mm ceramic cartridges are available so Screwfix to the rescue @ £4.72 and ten minutes to change cartridge job done !

Agree Screwfix are great and my first choice when having a plumbing problem. They do themselves an injustice by calling themselves Screwfix as some people will think they only sell screws. Most of their products are first class and their prices are normally much cheaper than others for branded goods.

Sounds great - Can I ask if that was the Reich tap?
I think mine is the Reich caraflo and the OEM cartridges are 3 times the price of the screwfix one.
