  • Basic plumbing SOS. Got a leaky tap. Opened it up, extracted cartridge, toddled along to local plumbing supplies expecting to be rewarded with a simple purchase/fix and to bathe in the warm glow of a DIY job done competently. Which is a glow I am not hugely accustomed to. The grumpy plumbing man took one look at the cartridge and just said 'no'. Apparently it's really unusual and they don't stock any. I asked if he could advise any search terms/specs to help me find online. "no". He just said do a google and find a picture that looks the same. Having been through all results on ebay+amazon I can't find a match. Anyone able to ID or offer suggestions of what to look for/where to look? Cheers

  • Have you tried taking that apart, giving it a good clean out and putting back together again? There'll be plenty of scale clogging things up in there.
    I've done it a couple of times to ours and fixed the leak for another 6 months.

  • No, I was hoping for a very easy replacement fix! So many jobs at the moment. But, if so hard to replace, this has to be worth a go. Is there a descaler or similar (or method/technique) you'd use that you'd recommend?

    Cheers
