My kitchen sink has the single lever type hot and cold taps/faucet. I think something is going wrong with the seals because it chatters a few times when I turn the hot off. I cannot obtain seals from the local hardware/builders merchants. After bit of research it would appear that different manufacturers have different seal kits. Some are a ball type valves, others a cartridge type, apparently it is an easy job to replace them but I do not want to dismantle without new parts in case it is broken and will not go back together again. I do not know the manufacturer, nothing is marked on it apart from “Terla EN246” which I think is a British Standard. Any ideas how to identify it, and where can I get repair kits?

any plumbing suppliers or kitchen suppliers will have them ,but a new tap is only €25 appprox, in the PC
 
So far I have been to some of the large plumbing and builders providers in Cork including B & Q and unable to obtain any. Changing the taps on my sink is a nightmare because of the design of the cabinet, when it would only take 10 minutes to change a seal. I am going back to the old type taps after this. how can they sell them and not stock seals?
 
I replaced the tap tops on an old pair of kitchen sink Pillar taps with these, they come in a kit with different spacers to suit most taps. Grand job only cost me €20, there available in Woodies etc.

Thanks pudds, but these are not taps, its the single lever type, up/on, down/off, left/hot, right/cold. still unable to find seal kits for these. Just been to Woodies, B & Q, Heatmerchants etc. they don't have them.

ooops sorry, can you identify the manufacturers name and search the web for the company and email them. They may be able to supply you direct.
