    What is the likely issue here, is replacing the tap the only solution?

    We noticed some black gunk/residue on the cold water mixer hose - see photos. I was wondering what the root cause could be and whether we should replace just the cold water mixer hose or the entire mixer tap. Maybe there is another solution - would be great to know. Thank you very much.
