Kitchen sink tap aerator type of thing

Dan_Iggulden

Good morning all,

I'm at a complete loss with this one so I'm hoping someone will read this and know the answer straight away!

On the end of my kitchen tap is a aerator type thing, it looks different to most standard aerators though and I'm trying to find a replacement.







Diameter on the above is 20mm


This is the bit I want to replace.


Any ideas anyone??

Can anyone help?

I think you need to provide a bit more info, make, size of tap etc.

I suspect though that it's a cheap (sorry) non standard type tap and you may find parts are not available.

Depending on why you want to replace it you may find an overnight soak in some descaler type stuff may help.

Thanks for the reply. No idea as to make, there are no markings at all. It feels good quality, but knowing the previous owners I doubt it was expensive.

Could I replace the whole hose and keep the tap, would that work? I've tried the end bit in descaler, made no difference.

Hmmmm if it was me, without knowing the make, I would take some (better) photos down to my local plumbers merchants and ask the person behind the counter for their advice.

......but I suspect it's going to be new tap time.
