How to replace leaking shower taps?

Hi I had a bathroom reno about 20 years ago and fitted two 1/4 turn ceramic disk taps, the hot one has now started leaking/passing as it over turns the stop. In stripping down the tap assembly the internals are quite badly corroded and I think it's time for a new set. I have attached photos below I think they were Caroma (not sure of the model, I did buy a Bunnings). What would be a suitable replacement tap as I see a Caroma and also a Mondella tap that looks similar not the old taps, the issue is getting the right dimensions both outside and inside the wall the current tap sit on a flange that's 8mm and the lever control is including the flange 50mm off the wall??IMG_2343.JPGIMG_2344.JPGIMG_2345.JPGIMG_2346.JPG

Re: Shower taps

Hello @Pjwilso54 

 

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's sensational to have you join us, and thanks for sharing your question about your tapware. 

 

It appears to be a low-profile ceramic disc spindle. I propose bringing one of the spindles with you so that you can compare them for size just to make sure you get the right one. the other option is to special order the same type of Caroma wall spindles on the condition that they are still available. The third option is to replace the entire set with a new one such as the Mondella Resonance Pin Lever Wall Top Assembly Set or the Mondella Cadenza Chrome Ceramic Disc Top Assembly Tapware Set.

 

If you need further assistance, please let me know.

 

Eric
