The tap drips for a while after use

The aerator (the little sieve in the outflow of the tap) can become dirty/affected by limescale. Should this happen, the aerator can be removed from the tap outflow and cleaned. Clean the aerator very thoroughly.

The tap doesn't produce a good jet of water

It can be that the aerator (the little sieve in the outflow of the tap) becomes slightly blocked by limescale or dirt over time. This is why we advise periodic maintenance in order to prevent further damage to the tap. You can loosen the aerator and clean it to remedy this.

The thermostat gets stuck

The standing bath tap provides very little water

Check the connection hoses; these may have been bent or buckled during installation, meaning the water cannot flow through them properly. If this doesn’t solve it, replace the connection hoses.

What is the best way to maintain my overhead/hand-held shower?

When taking your shower, rub your hands over the shower head to free the tiny shower nozzles of limescale. The best thing to do is to clean your overhead/hand-held shower head with our tap cleaner every week. Spray the cleaning agent onto the shower head and allow it to work in for up to 2 minutes, then rinse the shower head thoroughly with plenty of water. Afterwards, dry off the shower head thoroughly with a dry cloth.

Do you have a question about the tap finish?
