Tap diffuser part find?

[tawj]

Hi

having trouble finding a part for my armitage shanks bathroom sink. Its the bit at the end of the tap, a flow diffuser type thingy... sorry I don't know the proper terminology. Its old and has just deteriorated.

The standard ones I find to buy are screw-in ones that are supposed to fit on most taps, but mine is shaped differently and seems to just push up. (See pics attached)

It seems such a simple part but I've tried the Armitage Shanks site to no avail, so I'm hoping someone could point me in the right direction please?

with thanks in advance

Have you tried emailing Armitage Shanks? Otherwise you're going to struggle I think.

A bit of a long shot but also try emailing pictures of both the diffuser and the whole tap to Shower Doctor - The Shower Doctor - Buy Shower Parts & Spares Online

They MAY be able to help although as the name suggests, they specialise in showers...

Update:

I've actually found the part at Lunns but........

...looking at the new part it seems that it actually does push-up and screw-in, but the plastic thread part has sheared off and is stuck inside my tap spout!!!!!

Its stuck in fast and haven't got an idea how I'm going to get it out, to get the new one in.
Any ideas gratefully received :-((

Is the tap worth the hassle?

There are a number of ways to get the sheared plastic bit out. Depending on the bore (internal diameter) an Easy-Out might fit. Or heat up an old screwdriver and push into the plastic, then unscrew it. Or drill it out.

How badly do you want to keep this tap?

Saved many pounds making my own tap head carrier from milliput after a B. Gas engineer over-clocked its plastic one.

Every penny counts to some people!! Always worth a go using what you have!

Ta!
