Homemade Mixer Tap Becoming An Annoyance

[marvoni]

A few years ago I made mixer taps for all our bathrooms. The three smaller ones on basins have all been fine but the larger one on the bath is forever dripping from the shaft seal.



I've replaced this seal twice in three years and it stops dripping for a few months but then it starts again. Is there any kind of reseating tool for the shaft seal? Last time I put on in I tried a little grease in the assembly but it didn't help, now it's leaving a stain on the rim of the bath where the prip lands

Any advice greatly appreciated.

I don't like the look but love your ingenuity deffo first class and I'm about to build a house so I may end up stealing some of your ideas if the budget runs away lol

Good luck with your new build, I hope it doesn't become necessary for you.
