FAQs

Will this set fit all taps?

This set is designed specifically for 1/2 inch taps that conform to the BS5412 / 1010 fitting standard.

What tools are needed for installation?

Usually, only a standard screwdriver is required to remove the old fixing and secure the new head.

Does this fix a leaking tap?

No, this set replaces the handle only. A leak usually indicates a damaged internal washer or cartridge.

Are these heads heat resistant?

Yes, they are designed for domestic hot and cold water tap environments.

Can I use these for kitchen taps?

Yes, provided the kitchen taps are 1/2 inch size with the required BS5412 / 1010 fittings.

Troubleshooting

Handle feels loose after installation

Ensure the securing screw is tightened fully and check that the splines on the tap spindle match the inner profile of the head.

Water continues to drip after replacing head

Replacing the head only fixes the handle; the drip is likely caused by a worn washer or ceramic cartridge which requires separate maintenance.

Head does not fit onto the existing spindle

Verify that your tap specifically uses the BS5412 / 1010 fitting standard; it may be incompatible if your tap uses a non-standard or proprietary spindle.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Simple and straightforward installation process
  • Cost-effective alternative to complete tap replacement
  • Includes all necessary components for a full set upgrade
  • Durable materials suited for bathroom and kitchen environments
  • Clear, intuitive hot and cold visual indicators

Cons

  • Limited to 1/2 inch taps with specific BS5412 / 1010 fittings
  • Not suitable for taps with non-standard proprietary fitting systems
  • Acrylic material may be susceptible to scratching if cleaned with abrasive pads

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, first ensure the water supply is isolated to prevent leakage. Remove the decorative caps on your existing handles to access the screw, loosen it, and pull off the old head. Align the new acrylic head onto the spindle, secure it with the provided fixings, and replace the colour-coded indicator. For ongoing care, simply wipe down the acrylic surface with a soft, damp cloth and a mild soap solution. Avoid using harsh chemicals, bleach, or abrasive scouring pads, as these can dull the finish or cause micro-scratches on the acrylic material.
