Can any of you wet types ID this kitchen mixer tap?

It's dripping, where to get a rebuild kit for it etc.

Cheers

If it has a name on it'll be on the back of the tap (side facing the tiles in your pic). As for a rebuild kit if it's branded you might be able to get one but I wouldn't hold your breath.

No idea, it's a nightmare these days identifying taps, if you can't find out what make model exactly, turn off the water to it and remove the insides and take to plumbers merchant, a lot use standard inserts, good luck with that one. If no joy then new tap, sorry forgot, yorkshireish ;)

wheres it leaking from?
May just be a standard o rings gone.

Failing that its quicker to buy a new tap mate

It looks like it has the ceramic discs inside it, you may be able to clean them up a bit/turn them the other way round see if that works.

This and this :)

Most I've come across either use standard inserts, spline length can differ though.
Some are repairable.

I have a new mixer tap, never used 'in a slightly squashed box' that may fit your requirement....for a small fee ;)

Let me know if you want to look at it.

Failing that, Pegs got some at work going cheap.

Can't see the image (at work), however I have a fairly new/very un-used kitchen mixer tap I can fetch up to yours on 1st if you can wait that long.

It`s an indoor tap , which I am surprised you have up there . Quite ironic really that the only time you are actually gonna get water on your hands is by fixing this , ya grubby bugger :)
