Any Plumbers Around?

[HesNotGudjonsonn2]

Hi Guys,

 

Can anyone help. I need to replace a washer and tighten a kitchen tap but cannot work out how I get the tap off. I was looking for some way to remove a cap and locate a screw but can’t seem to find anyway in.

 

I have attached photos of the tap, hoping someone will be able to kindly direct me.

 

Many Thanks

There will be an allen key grub screw under the handle. Remember to turn the water off first. 

The handle will pull off sideways the unscrew the larger chrome ring going into the tap. Then you'll be able to swap out the cartridges.

No problem. It's a fairly simple job. Take both the cartridge and handle to the shop to ensure the exact fit as there are several various sizes.
