I have a mixer tap in the kitchen which I am having a problem fixing. The are 1/4 turn taps and the hot water one seems to have lost its thread and refused to turn off. I managed to turn this off eventually but cannot seem to but a new tap head. Is it this I need or is it something else?

Either way, you need new cartridges - hence the need to know the make and model.
If neither can be found then you need new taps.

I suspect that we need a new rotary joint - i.e. the turning joint that bears on the hex valve that releases the water . The inside of the plastic hex thread is worn and will not bear on the hex valve. Swapping of the heads solved the problem ergo we need a new head/rotary joint.
Where can we get one of those?
Thanks for listening.
