Hi all,

I keep getting jobs to look at knackered tap heads (usually the ceramic lever types - and normally it's the teeth at the top of the cartridge that's worn). I can pick up a set of cheap lever taps for about a tenner so I usually end up just replacing either the whole tap, or just the cartridge / head.

My question is, to save money, does anyone know where I can pick up just the heads / cartridges from somewhere. I'm fast accumulating a load of tap bodies (from new taps, that I've taken the heads off) that I know I'll never use, and it seems like such a waste!

Thanks in advance :)

Oh and also - does anyone know if it's possible to change the direction in which the valve closes? I had to swap out a tap today, and the lever ended up going in the opposite direction to the other, working tap
:rolleyes: Looked, well stupid, obviously. I don't fancy fiddling with the ceramic discs bcos I know how easily they scratch!! :oops:

Cheers
