strange one, or perhaps not??? After running the kids bath tonight I noticed the bath tap was dripping which quite quickly turned into a constant running (immediately not much). I isolated the tap, removed the cartridge, ran under water looked for damage (none) and replaced. I then turned the water on and it dripped/ran as before. If I put a little pressure on the tap turning it in the off direction the water stops. So does this sounds like i've been unlucky and just need a replacement cartridge? I have had the mixer installed for around 5 years... What I found strange was there was no gradual build-up. I figured It should have started with a slight dripping that got worse.
Maybe some crud has been drawn in from outside and this was the first tap on at the time and took the brunt of it? Is there anyway to service these items or is it just not worth the hassle?
Just wanted to check with you guys before I go out and get a replacement tomorrow. Expect it's £40+
