My mate got a problem with his tap constantly dripping as i got a lot to learn and never worked on one of these before is it just a rubber washer that needs replacing.
If so is it just undo the cap and replace washer from hot and cold or is it the handle that chooses the direction of water to shower head or taps.
Any info would be great thanks
 
Remove tap heads & shroud... You can then undo the brass nut.... Check washers & replace also shine a torch onto where the washer sits & check there are no pits on the face if so you gotta regrind a new face with a tap reseating tool.
 
The cold water probably tank fed, so CWS tank needs isolating for both hot & cold.

Please can someone advise how to fix this shower that leaks? I guess I need to replace the washers inside the taps. Is it the blue or red one? My local DIY place didn't have the washer last time I attempted this. The cold tap is the culprit, a bit soft to tighten and leaks unless really tight...
