Hi, I have new taps, which worked fine for 6 months but now the hot tap has a prob. When u first turn it, nothing happens but if u keep turning then it slowly come on. it feels sort of loose to begin with.

thanks all

COULD BE SPINDLE IS STICKING IN VALVE NUT.
STRIP DOWN, CLEAN AND LUBRICATE TO REMEDY.

Was it sold with a guarantee?
If so and not yet expired, make lots of noise on the suppliers premises.
Be warned though if this situation has been caused by a load of muck getting in the tap recently (ie not their fault) you could have to pay.
Cheers

R,
YEA, WE HAVE TO ASSUME A LOT OF THINGS ON THIS FORUM!!!
IF ONLY THE POSTERS WOULD GIVE MORE DETAILED INFORMATION AND LET US KNOW IF AND HOW THEY EVENTUALLY RESOLVE THERE PROBLEMS.
STILL, ITS A GREAT "DIY" FORUM FOR ALL THAT!
