Hi all,
I'm off to mend a dripping kitchen tap later this week (can't believe I've still got questions for taps).
But anyway...
1. Would you automatically change washers on both hot and cold tap? (I assume it's a mixer tap). Or just the dodgy washer - in which case, is it more likely to be the hot side that needs a new washer? Or is the cold/hot likelihood pretty much equal?
2. Always add a bit of silicon grease to the spindle?
3. Would you automatically re-seat the bottom of the valve? Or feel how worn it is first?
Thanks again for your advice,
Jennie
