Re: How to fix broken tap head?

Hello @Christine12 

 

Thank you for sharing your question regarding fixing your tap handles. If the original handle has cracked or split in half, both handles will need to be replaced. I suggest using Shaw & Mason Clear PVC 6 Point Style Handles. It is similar in shape and has multiple spindle adapters included. I suggest having a look at this guide - How to replace a tap washer.  In step two you'll see multiple handles being removed, your one is similar to the last handle at the bottom. 

 

The plastic handles often have a cover over them and a nut holding the handle in place. Once the brass nut is removed you'll be able to pull the handle off.

 

If you have any other questions we can help with, please let us know.

 

Eric
