Kitchen Tap Leak

[bettz1]

Not sure what else I can change apart from the cold water valve.

Any idea why the middle spout is still leaking? Is it due to the cartridge?

Damaged o-ring as previously stated?

Did you clean inside the tap body until it was shiny clean and then use silicone grease on the new O-Rings, nylon spacer and inside the body? If you have and it's still leaking then it's worn out and the kindest thing is to give it a quiet fling into someone's scrap bag and put a nice new shiny one in

Ahh so that's what all the black stuff was on my hands no I cleaned it all off.

I'm going to take the valve out and use a digital calipar hoping the screw fix ones fit and I'll nip and get them today

Lol I'm not giving it a new taps going to cost a lot more plus our sink is brushed silver so less options.

Brushed steel

I'm screwed now as the items not available until next day. Doesn't seem to be a way to isolate the water going to the sink only the main isolation valve which means it cuts it off for the whole of the house

I'm screwed now

Why'd you think we call it SrewedFix!
