Going off topic here but I've often found that ceramic washer taps seem to leak when the water pressure is low. Maybe because the disc is hard and has no give like a rubber washer.
The property is owned jointly with my sister and her husband, who is a heating engineer would have been much cheaper.....
I did 3 years at plumbing college. I didn't learn anything about plumbing It was all tea making and eating bacon rolls
HOWEVER! When we finally commissioned the mains pressure hot water the kitchen tap started leaking .... as if it had got used to gravity fed after five years or so, and couldn't cope with the new "ooomph" .... and no, I haven't tried anything to fix it other than stuff a sponge under it to divert the leak into the sink Would have wrapped PTFE around it but they didn't have any in "chrome" ....
Not sure as it's been a few years ... sort of "mid-range" around £60 something I think. Wouldn't have bothered to check it for higher pressure ... the cold has always been mains pressure, and fine with it. We'll get fed up with the sponge eventually and try a new washer/disc.
True, but will have been needlessly processed one time extra. "A drop in the ocean!" I hear you cry ...... I got heavily into trying to calculate hidden environmental costs when we started in on our "eco" self build. Some decisions were easy peasy but lots were fraught with juggled compromises based on only having limited information. Taken too far, being green means grinding to a halt
.... Nah! Chrome holding up. Probably just needs a de-scale inside, or a washer/disc ..... I did change the "job description" tbf.
