    hello,

    I am tired of replacing my tap heads with tap reviver kits, all tap heads seem to do is wear out, can anyone recommend some really good quality taps from online somewhere, which I can replace what I have , maybe I have just been using cheap and lousy taps, probably.

    thanks.

    I agree.

    Search for quarter turn taps with ceramic discs. They usually come with a "lifetime" guarantee.

    Hello plumbob,

    Thanks for the advice, I was wondering what my kitchen tap was and if it was the type you have described?, it was about £70 and you can feel it come to a full stop when you turn it off, no " give" in the handle, beautiful!.

    cheers
