Replacement tap parts

    Hi all, I'm having a problem with the cold water tap in the bathroom. It doesn't turn as mush as before and therefore only a dribble comes out.
    Can you get parts for this type of tap?
    How do I remove the white cover from the tap?
    I'm guessing that if I get the white cover off that I can then screw out the mechanism???
    Lastly, are parts readily available? I.e Woodie's or B&Q

    All help greatly appreciated.
    Thanks
    Bren

    Getting barrels for mixer taps is like a lifelong quest.


    I've had a similar issue. Went down to the local builders/hardware (not a chain), their plumbing guy pulled out a massive box of different barrels. Found two the looked the same - still wouldn't fit.




    TLDR - ended buying two barrel conversion units that include the tap top - so buy two a hot and a cold.


    Best of luck.


    Edit - Just saw your last question. I believe those white domes pull off the top leaving the square lug and nut underneath

    I have a mixer tap that looks like that. It uses standard tap washers. If the washer has come off its lug you will either only get a trickle out of it and probably at some point you won't be able to turn it off at all.
