We have a Franke Ascona mixer tap in the kitchen, it started dripping a few months ago so I bought cheapo cart’s on Amazon for about £9 & replaced them both.
It still dripped but only very slightly so I stupidly left it.
Today it’s much worse & I have isolated both water feeds as I was out all day.
Genuine valves are £36 a pair(!), do I purchase these & hope it sorts it or bite the bullet & get a plumber in to replace the tap?

Franke have a 5 year warranty and their CS is very good. I had this problem just last week with ours leaking around the neck and they sent out new o-rings then a new neck. Give them a shout...
Tap is older than 5yrs & they want proof of purchase. Think my neck is also leaking very slightly.

You will probably need the spanners to fix the tap if you only replace the cartridges as it will be easier to work on if its not on the sink.
