Are the taps easy to install?

What is the material of the taps?

Troubleshooting

Tap is dripping

Ensure the ceramic disc cartridge is properly seated. If the issue persists, the cartridge may need replacement.

Low water pressure

Verify that the system is a high-pressure system as required. Check for any blockages in the water pipes or aerator. Ensure hot and cold water valves are fully open.

Tap handle is stiff

Over time, limescale can build up. Gently clean the handle mechanism. If stiffness persists, the internal cartridge may require servicing or replacement.

Shower hose leaking

Check that the hose connections at both the tap and the handset are securely tightened. Ensure any washers or seals are correctly in place.
