How to change the washer in tap which has a slow leak around the spindle?

I assume that I can rotate the spindle off and it needs a carbon washer of some kind ? Looks like previous owners have attacked it already with a metal device as looks pretty scratched !

Many thanks,WhatsApp Image 2024-09-01 at 14.45.03.jpeg

Re: Anyone know how to change the washer in this tap which has a slow leak around the spindle ?

Hi @Bob9,

 

Have a read through of this helpful step-by-step guide: How to replace a tap washer. The process involves removing the cold button, pulling the handle off, unscrewing the chrome cover flange and then unscrewing the spindle from the wall.

 

While you have the spindle out, it's best to replace all the washers. This repair kit has everything you need.

 

Please let me know if you have any questions.
