Hi, I am after a bit of advice on a leaking mixer tap in the kitchen.

Water is leaking from the area highlighted and varies with the amount of water pressure when using the taps, that might seem obvious, but I am not DIY minded :).

I have removed the mixer and replaced both O rings on the base but it's still leaking, although maybe slightly less. Any suggestions would be welcome. I have I just got the wrong size washers? I did match them when they were replaced.

I have done some research, and everything points to it just being those o rings.

Thanks

Yep, I would say it’s the o-rings. Before splashing out on some new ones, try some ptfe tape around the existing ones.
