IDENTIFY YOUR TAP VALVE OR SHOWER CARTRIDGE
Let us help you find the right part! Tap Magician have experienced (and friendly!) advisors available by phone, email or live chat to identify your cartridge.
We try to respond quickly but if you need an urgent response please telephone us once you have sent us the photos. If you need to speak to us please call on 01444
871313. Whatsapp is for messaging only.
You can send us a photo of your tap in the first instance and we will try our best to identify the tap model for you. Unfortunately there are lots of generic
unbranded taps that have no identification marks on them so this is not always possible. If we cannot identify the model of your tap or shower you will need to
remove the part and take some measurements. Please refer to our guidance on measuring your cartridge below and send us as much information as you can.
You can send us your photo or email us at sales@tapmagician.co.uk
