Squealing kitchen tap

[Dbuk03]

Hi, I'm hoping someone may be able to help!

We are currently getting a loud squealing from our kitchen hot tap whenever the shower is used upstairs. If you turn the tap on it will stop the squealing, however it then will have a constant trickle/slow stream of water from the tap.

It doesn't cause any problems at any other times.

I've included a picture of the tap if that helps at all.

Thanks a lot!

New ceramic disk valve should cure it.

Thanks! Is that the sort of job I should be able to do myself?

Yes if you can turn the supply to the tap off and have basic tools e.g. Adjustable spanner or grips etc

When you get the cartridge out take it to a merchants to match it , there's plenty variants
