The gotcha is that it is a tap and sink is in China, though it was bought at B&Q there.
B&Q closed in China a few years ago. I thought I might be able to replace the 'cartridge' (is that what it's called?) with one bought here in the UK, and take it with me on my next trip. I had someone send me photos, but I can't find anything like that at B&Q or in Google searches.
The alternative is to replace the whole tap, but the B&Q guy I spoke to said that the holes in sinks in the UK are typically (I think he said) 15cm apart, and it seems like the holes in our taps are more like 12cm apart (centre-2-centre). Visually, they look 'narrower' too.
I guess we might end up trying to find the cartridge in China, and/or replace the whole tap with one sourced there.
I wonder if anyone has any thoughts on this, and perhaps some way of sourcing the parts here.
The taps look like this:

What do you think?
Max.
