I bought a new kitchen mixer tap. Link below.


Every time I walk into the kitchen, I see a drip on the end of the tap. I remove the drip, to discover another drip on the end of it after about couple of hours. Now, is there a problem with the tap, or is it the design of the tap which is making it slightly drip? The tap has a long spout, it is the dripping a result of the tap emptying itself after use? Funnily enough, when I use the hot water only, the tap drips less after use. Any thoughts most welcome.
 
Best thing you can do is put a glass below and see how much it’s dripping one to five drips over a day is normal

I have a kitchen mixer tap with quarter turn levers and the cold side started dripping. I took out the ceramic valve and replaced it with one from Screwfix but it hasn’t solved the problem it still drips. Could it be a dodgy valve or is it something else? Thanks

Hi. I have a kitchen mixer tap unit with older washer type inserts which has a dripping cold side. I have a pair of replacement ceramic inserts to upgrade both but the cold side insert will not shift at all. It genuinely is so tight that I am in danger of damaging the mounting even though I am...
