Is that a tiled wall tap heads are coming through?
Hi Exedon2 the tap below is a mixer. The top fixture is to divert water to a shower above or go to the normal tap. I am trying to fix the diverter but I cannot figure how to remove it. Hope that you or someone has come across such fixture. Thks for your reply.

Rgds,

YC Lim
 
I'n not familiar with that fixture!
The sleeve (nut?) behind and surrounding the splined shaft appears to have a slot at the top and bottom, in which case this is to take a 2-prong tool to undo it.
Either fabricate a tool, or try tapping a screwdriver placed in the slot diagonally to attempt to move it, or try needle nosed pliers and a wrench if the points of the pliers will fit in the slots!
I'm guessing that undoing that ferrule/ nut will allow you to take the chrome cover off, to reveal the valve behind?

Hi Basher thks for your reply. I have tried some of your methods but find that the push pull diverter is tricky. I hope someone has done this before and show me the way. Thks

Our kitchen mixer tap has started dripping. Like so much of the plumbing in our almost new build bungalow, it is lacking! The plumber didn't install any isolating cocks in the H&C feed to the tap so how can I identify which of the valves is passing? Shut the whole H&C water system down?

I have attached an image of the brass body within a tap. Having replaced a cartridge which has cured a leaking tap, I can see that there is a small leak from the brass body which can be unscrewed. Is there a seal behind the body? Thanks.

Hi bit of a weird issue, I installed a grohe bathroom tap successfully 2 months ago bought from screwfix. Last week the right hand hot tap makes a squeak noise as I turn it on or off, left tap is 100% perfect and noiseless. This grohe tap is like one unit, so no screw notch or way I can remove...
