Leaky tap?

[jmsgld]

Concealed wall mounted basin mixer tap has started leaking from the handle, any ideas if this can be sorted from the front?

This tap; https://www.heatandplumb.com/acatalog/rak-ceramics...

It's about 5 years old, we have very hard water, you can see from the photo that there is limescale below the white plastic bit, it's not obvious to me how to disassemble it further.

Thanks

Turn off the water and you need to undo that domed chrome piece you can see in the picture, the cartridge will just lift out.

The chrome bit will be tricky to grip and turn.

Awesome thanks, glad to hear it can be sorted from the front. I isolated it before taking off the handle.

Turn the water off and disassemble the tap under the dome. The blue bit may have a part number on. If not then Google monoblock tap cartridge, measure yours and take lots of pictures then buy a replacement from the tap magician or divapour. Be careful with the old one as it will need to be replaced until the new one arrives.
