Troubleshooting
Tap is dripping after being turned off
Ensure the 1/4 turn ceramic disc valve is fully closed. If the dripping persists, the valve may need servicing or replacement.
Low water flow from one or both taps
Check the isolation valves under the basin are fully open. Inspect the flexible hoses for kinks or blockages. Ensure the aerator (if present) is clean and free from debris.
Tap is loose or wobbles
From underneath the basin, tighten the metal fixing nuts securing the tap. Be careful not to overtighten.
Water is not hot or cold as expected
Verify the hot and cold water supply connections are correct. Check your water heating system for any issues.
