    Hi
    Have a mono mixer tap on my kitchen sink . It's dripping at the spout end where the water comes out. How do I sort it out . I have taken the on off switches off but have not screwed the valves out yet. How do I find out what sort of washers I need. Can I get replacements in B&Q?
    Thanks Jackie Gee

    Are they full turn taps or 1/4 turn?

    ok if they are quarter turn the likelihood is that it's gonna be cheaper to buy a new tap than to get replacement cartridges,

    Sometimes it's worth taking it all apart, cleaning it up, flushing it out and refitting.
    One bit of craap can cause a headache.
