Bathstore 90000014440 is a single lever ceramic cartridge with distributor. It is used in the Contour Basin Mixer tap and can be suitable with other taps as well.

Why change the Bathstore Contour Mini Basin Mixer single lever cartridge?

Well, ceramic is one of the most durable materials in the world of taps and spares. It has been manufactured through fire to create a flat and hardened surface. The barrel of the Bathstore 90000014440 for the Contour Mini Basin Mixer is made of such material; it will not break easily. However, the cartridge has a plastic lever and rubber seals. The condition of these parts can and will fail through years of use resulting in leaks and other tap issues.

How do you determine if the Bathstore 90000014440 is the suitable valve?

Remove the cartridge from the tap and take its dimensions. Compare it with the dimensions of this Bathstore 90000014440 Contour Basin Mixer cartridge.

What are some tips and tricks for a successful Bathstore 90000014440 Contour Basin tap repair?

A few of the simple and basic tips:

1. Apply plumbers grease on the O-ring and seals of the Bathstore Contour Basin tap cartridge. This is recommended as it will help the new part seal in the tap seat properly. Do not use non-silicone based lubricants as it can negatively affect the seals.

Please see the last section below for an appropriate silicone-based grease perfect for plumbing purposes.

2. After installing the Bathstore 90000014440 in the Contour Mini Basin Mixer (or some other tap), it is time to return the tap handle. Place the tap handle on top of the cartridge lever and lift it in the “on” position as you secure the handle’s retaining screw. Doing this will lessen the pressure on the bottom seals of the new cartridge.
