  • I need to replace our kitchen tap, because and I can't figure out why it's leaky (other than it being cheap & cheerful, and there's probably a degraded seal / o ring somewhere).

    When I remove it, I'd also like to shore up the sodden rotting hole that it goes through, which will mean leaving it to dry out for a while, leaving us without a tap in the kitchen.

    What are my temporary tap solutions?

    We can do without hot water, so could just attach a hose of some sort to the cold tail, but what products are there that I could use, without having to resort to some godawful hose & jubilee clip bodge.

  • Probably just need to replace the ceramic cartridge in the tap... a lot less work if you don't want to get right into it

  • The cartridges are both new - I tend to replace them every couple of years. The leak comes from the top of the tap.
