Questions and answers
The ceramic cartridge inside has worn or picked up grit, so its two discs no longer close tight. Replacing the cartridge stops the drip in almost every case.
Most can be repaired with a cartridge and a set of O-rings. We only suggest a new mixer when the body is cracked, the cartridge is no longer made or the chrome is failing.
Usually the O-rings the spout swivels on have worn, or the tap has worked loose on the bench and water is getting under the base plate. Both are repaired with the tap left in place.
Look at the braided hoses, the isolation valves and the connections to the tap and dishwasher. A slow weep from any of them can soak a cupboard base for weeks before anyone notices. During the mixer visit, the plumber will check the hoses and valves.
It can be. Many kitchens have a valve or a combination tap under the sink that feeds the dishwasher, and if it is weeping we can replace it on the same visit.
Only the kitchen tap goes off, at the valves under the sink, and the rest of the house keeps running. If those valves are seized, we shut the house off at the meter for the time it takes to replace them.
