Some years ago you could fit a pair of taps with the understanding that when they eventually began to leak, you could simply replace the rubber washer.
Don’t get me wrong. I’m all for embracing new technology, but have you ever tried to match up (find) a replacement ceramic insert for the taps you fitted a few years previously? (Possibly “yes no problem” if they were expensive taps).
Taps with the traditional rubber washer are still available. However, trying to identify them in Tool station for example, or any other catalogue is extremely difficult. The catalogue states ceramic insert on the item description of some of the taps. But, that does not simply mean all the other taps are rubber washer type. It’s quite frustrating (Tool station etc take note)!
So, what do you guys prefer at your home (as opposed to what you fit for customers)?
