ceramic tap valves.

recently had all our taps updated with ceramic type. I should add that in our 1970s built house the hot taps are all on the right ,the cold on the left. The kitchen taps had a slight drip so got the leaflet out and prepared to fix. However I am starting to think that the plumber may have switched the red and blue dot indices over to comply with our house as when I took the hot valve out it had a blue seat and on removing the cold valve that had a red seat. Am I correct in thinking that if I swop the valves over and put the correct colour indices on then all will be ok ??

    Yep should be ok to change, as they maybe 1/4 turn it will change the way the tap closes. either anti or clockwise.

    As above. BTW Hot on left and cold on right is nothing more than a convention.
