Ceramic tap head

[eltel1]

The plastic insert in a ceramic tap head has been ' shredded ' due to over tightening this now means that the tap head is loose and cannot operate. Can you buy a replacement plastic insert or are there any other options. The manufacturer of the tap is no longer in business

thankyou

It may be easier to buy a tap reveiver set like the ones is kevs pictures, they allow the spouts to stay in place and the headgears and handles to be renewed.

Sorry for the confusion , yes its a tap head on a ceramic fitting , thanks for the replies

 

[JayJay1978]

Im still confused, what do you mean by ceramic fitting?

Are you refering to a ceramic disc tap, or taps with a ceramic head/handle??

I'm not sure either, but I suspect he is referring to the splines on the tap head being worn away.....however, if its the insert itself there are replacements available, but it will have to be exactly like for like.
