I had the Estilo chrome tap and spout set installed 2 years ago, and it has just started to drip at the tap. I went to Bunnings but it said there was only 1 in stock which means it’s more like on display. So I paid for a more expensive set Shaw and Mason chrome basin tap set. Everything went well until I opened the tap but I couldn’t close it! My friend decided to fix the issue by using the old (Estilo) part that needs a spanner (forget what it’s called!) long metal rod the has the washer on it. He had new washers in his toolbox that were part of a kit he had as we couldn’t use the Shaw and Mason spindle that came with the kit, but we used the taps. It worked, the tap was able to open and close the water running but now we have to turn the tap full circle to open and close it! Why didn’t the Shaw and Mason tap set work? Why did the spindle did look different to the Estilo spindle?
Shaw and Mason product is in the photo that says “spindle” is what was in the new tap kit I bought , also the spindle laying on side of the basin in the other photo
