The flap has an angle adjuster mechanism, but this just changes the leak from slight to significant! So I guess that the valve is leaking. Is there a make of valve that…

Gold finish taps - are there ones that resist wear?
A few years ago we had a new bathroom suite complete with gold finish bath and sink taps but the finish was very thin and soon became faded and worn. Does anyone know of a tap manufacturer who makes gold taps which are durable and come with a guarantee? Also, can you get good quality gold bath plugs and drains?
