    I think, the only explanation is that the seal at the bottom doesn't work for some reason. If so, you have to improvise to make it working.
    Thanks for that, but not sure I follow. Seal at the bottom of where?
    Wilko 05 inch Ceramic Tap Gland with Long Spline  Wilko
    Blue and red


      I replaced the entire cartridge though so isn't that - that's what I was expecting it to be.
    Well, there can be some defect in the tap itself. Or the seal can be not compressed enough.
    But usually it's the ceramic discs that wear out and start leaking.
