Here is our Guide: How to change an o-ring kit
If your tap still leaks at the base after replacing the O-ring kit, double-check that you’ve fitted the O-rings correctly. Also, inspect the spout for pinholes, if you find any, you’ll likely need to replace the spout.
Check for Pinhole Damage Before Ordering O-Rings
- Always inspect your tap spout for pinhole damage before ordering a new set of O-rings.
- If your spout has a pinhole (see example below), replacing the O-ring kit won’t resolve the issue.
- In such cases, you’ll need to replace the entire spout.
- Refer to our guide: How to Remove a Kitchen Tap Spout to check for pinholes.
- If you’re uncertain about the spout you need, contact us with details of your tap, such as a picture and any brand markings, so we can assist you in finding the correct spout.
Tips When Changing the O-Ring Kit
- In most cases, you only need to replace the black O-rings—unless a white one is visibly damaged. Some white O-rings have a deliberate split to fit spouts with a grub screw, so a split doesn’t mean it’s broken.
- Some kits include extra rings, like a smaller one added later for stability, which you may not need.
- Use plumber’s grease or washing-up liquid to aid movement, but avoid Vaseline as it can damage the rubber.
