I got fed up with changing washers so I fitted these ceramic cartridges instead of the original innards in our bathroom taps.

Ooooo...£5.50.... they sound just like the ones in my post above.

Oooo! I didn't there was such an animal. Thanks to you both ..... Screw Fix here I come 

Fitted these this afternoon.....cold taps still drips  A lot less but a drip about every 10 secs or so.....

Took it  back out and I can see the seat is damaged in one place......so I guess I need one of these now.....

That should do the trick.

Yes, TD - I suggested that 2 days ago!

I know you did Ron 

But just checking this would do the job and isn't a pile of crap 

And while I'm there I think i'll get these too....pull the innards out and put the ceramic jobbies in I bought.

I know it says bathroom sink.....but no reason it shouldn't fit kitchen taps as far as I know 

At the moment I have the round type .... but these would be better with 1/4 turn on/off

Those tap tops look great and I have them on my bathroom/kitchen sinks, but they aren't so handy in the bath because you can't get precice control of them with your feet when you're in the bath!
That seat cutter looks ok, but I've only ever used the other type shown lower down in the Screwfix site that you linked to, the all-metal one with coneical metal blades - I know they work very well.

Job jobbed ... No more drippy tap 

The new tap 'handles' look far better too 

[Andy H]

Excellent.

Just been informed that my challenge is to revive the taps in my step daughter's house over Christmas

I like Screwfix.
