Traditional basin mixer tap, tap handles broken - help

[DavieB]

Hi I have a traditional basin mixer tap both handles are now loose and spin freely without turning the water on or off.


How do I fix this issue? Can I replace the handles or do I need to replace the entire tap? Also, is this an easy DIY job or should I get a plumber?


Thanks a lot,


Davie

Hi,

You can buy refresh kits, here's an example: Reviver Kits & Tap Spares, Tap Revivers | Taps | NoLinkingToThis

This will probably fix your problem even if you need to grind the seats.

Thanks a lot, I will look into this. Will it come with instructions on how to revive the tap?

Yep!
