Dripping tas despite new valves

[kafka]

Th single spout over my bath provides both hot and cold water. As the tap was dripping I replaced the valves on both the hot and cold water taps with good quality valves which are supposed to be particularly good for people with arthritis. Much to my disappointment the spout still drips, but not as fast as it did. Is there something I have missed doing when istalling the new valves?

What brand washers did you install?

You could have faulty valves happened to me once. Did you make sure non of the old valve was left inside. I also had a customer that had a dripping tap and said new ones had been fitted. Looked inside and there was a piece from the ceramic valve left inside.

Thanks Moonlight. I have just realised what the problem is. I need to reseat the taps with my reseating tool.
