Got the plumber in, the inside of the tap is worn out.. and it's only 8 years old (warranty only lasts 5 years). We've ordered a new one....... nearly fell over at the price......$353.99!!! :-(

It wouldn't swivel from one side to the other. http://www.reece.com.au/bathrooms/products/porcher/porcher-saga-pull-out-sink-mixer-9502006 Our old one has a different handle........ this new one looks easier to clean :-) I'm still reeling at the price :-(

	We had one just like that when we moved in here nearly 2 years ago Ours hadn't been fitted properly and instead of the tap swivelling the whole housing spun round and started twisting the piping. OH got so fed up with putting it right he eventually took it out and replaced it with a conventional swivel tap without the hose. Hope your plumber turns up soon.

It won't swivel at all, it's stuck between the two sinks. We either have to use the hose, or have water run into both sinks.
