[Help] Question for plumbers....

As above - the plastic discs on the outside will prise off.

Thanks mate, I thought that’s what you must mean. Thanks for the advice, I’m okay with most things maintenance related but perhaps rightly, plumbing fills me with dread!

Mine didn't.

I've had to turn three off lately, two of them started leaking when disturbed. You must have been lucky (or had better quality valves)

As I say rather than rooting around under the sink, we have a small kitchen so it’s a really tight space , I’ll just turn the stopcock off?

Got this far, nothing looks untoward. But don’t know where to go from here.

Just turn the stop cock back on, should be good to go.

Well I’ve had the whole thing apart and I’ve exhausted my meagre know-how on such matters so I’ll get a new set of taps. If that doesn’t work , it’s a call to someone who knows what they’re doing.

Thanks for all the advice. At least I didn’t flood the place! Cheers NSC. Watch this space......fill with water!

New taps.
You will struggle to get a spare for that, maybe online but not in a plumbers merchant.

Screwfix are pretty reasonable for buying new mixer taps.

Don't waste time trying to mend old taps anymore, costs the same to just put a new set in

The old adage still holds true though, "but chap, buy twice". My shower mixer was playing up so I bought a new one off Amazon for about £35. It worked brilliantly for a month then wouldn't regulate hot and cold. Went to Plumbers Mate and bought a decent one for £85.
The amazon one went in the bin.

Give it half an hour, they’ll still be the cafe.

So true.

But will tell customers they “were getting supplies at plumbers merchants”.

Just bought a Mira shower mixer with the same thought in mind.
