Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's fantastic to have you join us, and thank you for sharing your question about your shower taps.

The locking mechanism for your tap handles is actually located behind the handle itself. You'll need to use a Kinetic Spout And Handle Repair Kit. The tool is a flat blade with two prongs at the end of it. They fit into the two slots at the back of the tap handle. I've placed an image below to give you an idea of the location of the hidden brass lock.

The good news is that you can replace the flange with Shaw & Mason Chrome Brass Basin Cone Style Flange.

Please keep us updated with your progress, we look forward to seeing your taps repaired.

Hi @play107

I'm glad you got your tapware all sorted out, I hope you managed to save the rest of the parts and not have to replace too many in the process.

If you need assistance with any other projects, please let us know.
