noisy mixer bath tap

[Suzie Laws]

We have just put in a new bathroom, the sink now has a mixer tap which when turned on makes a hell of a din all over the house. Help? Its driving me potty.

Is it a vibrating hum on the Basin tap..Are they standard wind down tap heads or quarter turn..?

They are quarter turn .

Are they Franke taps by any chance?

Have you got ballofixes on the pipework (chrome isolating valves). sometimes if there's high pressure they can make a loud velocity noise..

 

[Suzie Laws]

Yes . there is solating valves on the taps. We have tried turning the pressure down on the cold with the valve didn'thelp . really don't want to change the tap as it matches the bath taps.!

Using the valve to throttle the flow will increase the noise. Swap them out for some full bore isolation valves.
