Question - mend, repair, fix



I have a dripping Franke mixer tap. I have removed the retaining screw ?

Having removed the retaining screw to both hot and cold taps I am unable to remove the tap covers to get to the spindle to replace the washers. Has anyone got any ideas pse?

I had to fix a Frankie tap recently - I called their spares line and told them the style of tap - the name is important I believe - they asked how old the tap was - I said four years (you get free cartridges under 5 years it seems).

A hot and a cold cartridge came within a few days - I shut off the hot & cold (this will be your biggest challenge) then I unscrewed each cartridge and fitted the new. They're "handed" hot and cold to get the tap leaver the correct way round.
