If your Olympus tap is dripping out of the spout then its time to replace the cartridges. They are easy to change with just a 17mm spanner and a 2mm allen key. You can easily do this task yourself. No special tools needed.
Your cartridge may come out with the adaptor bush attached to the cartridge. If this happens you can try and separate them however corrosion can make them very difficult to remove. If you cannot separate then you will need to purchase a new adaptor bush.

Followed your instructions.
First attempt failed because the leak was coming from the bushe and not the valve itself.
Ordered that bushe from you and then started over.
Voila. No more leak.
This has been done by a white collar chap. So if I can do it following your excellent instructions, there's hope for everyone out there 😂
I tried to ignore my leaking tap until I couldn't anymore...found your video and ordered new parts from link - all good as new now. very useful, thanks! 👍
Very useful. Thanks for explaining about the bush around the cartridge. Before I watched your vid I'd managed to get the cartridge out and thought I'd got the wrong part. Used a grip on the bush and a spanner on the cartridge, once I had it in my hand, squirt of magic WD40 and it untwisted fine. Lot of limescale in and around the various old parts so I gave it all a good clean inside before re-assembling. Both sides now done, took me an hour in total.
I bought the 3 replacement cartridges from you, and had them fitted professionally,
We ended up showing them your video, on how to change the cartridges,
and the darn tap still drips!
I might have a go at refitting them myself, as I’m not happy with the “ professional “ fitting, and cannot afford another £50 for them to come back out.

Excellent. Saved myself 100 quid for a plumber callout. Thanks!
Followed directions and all perfect now - thanks!!!
I was all set to replace the whole unit when both the spout and tap began to leak and due to the fact that the original fitter did not use the flexi hose (why do that??) it would have been a crap job. Both parts changed (as you say with a bit of brute force due to corrosion) everything is drip free. Thanks for doing this.
Great video, followed and now perfect. Many thanks
Love the bit after unscrewing the cartridge he says, ‘remember to turn the water off’ 😂
The tap handle can get fixed with scale, use descaled and prize off with a screwdriver
Nice job help me out tremendously thanks ever so much
oh how I wish I had an ordinary tap with washers- cost minimal- effort minimal and something I can do myself with arthritis
Wow never seen that last tap style before! Good vid
Brilliant - just followed your clear instructions and worked perfectly. Thank you!
Thanks matey spot on much appreciated 👍
useful video, thanks. i found it easier to remove the grub screw by first rotating the tap downwards.
Thank you! Just the info I was looking for 👍
Nice sink area.
Fucking top quality service.

I’ve manage to replace the cold cartridge twice easily. Try as I might, the handle is just not coming off the hot tap and it drips badly now.
Hi Steven
You can try some heat (hot
Water over the handle) to try and break the corrosion seal.
@@tapmagician thanks tried that but not working yet. I’ve just ordered a cartridge and handle from you and will saw the old one off.
Hi thanks for your video my tap is the same as yours but mine leaks from the centre stem , would doing what you have shown solve my problem many thanks

Hi do you mean leaking where the spout connects to the body of the tap?
If so then you need to buy the SK19-S o ring kit (spout repair kit)
We do have another video for the olympus - changing spout o rings if you need to watch that
tapmagician.co.uk/NSManufacturersShoppingSelect.aspx?ENCB4AF132333?Franke?Olympus??
Do you need to do this for both hot and cold taps I don't know which is causing the drip thanks
Hi you can isolate the supply if you have isolation valves under the sink otherwise yes you need to change both
My grub screw is wrung, idea tips? If I drill will it cause any functional damage?
Hi David please contact us directly for advice sales@tapmagician.co.uk 01444 871313
Bostin. Shall I turn the water off first?
My basin mixer tap is a Franke Olympus tap and recently started leaking from Spout.
I have purchased the replacement O ring parts but I am unable to unscrew it and cannot remove the Spout.
Also, the tap is dripping So I tried to remove the handle and look into the cartridge if it needs to be replaced. But when I removed its screw the stiffed cold handle and the cover of the cartridge does not move clockwise or anti-clockwise at all.
Any idea of how to loosen it and which tool can unscrew it without a scratch or denting it.
Regards
Ali
Hi Please get in touch with us directly on sales@tapmagician.co.uk or 01444 871313
I’ve removed the screws but neither handle will budge. Do you have any suggestions? Cheers
They can get corroded on. Hot water (heat) over the handles helps to free it up
How to remove the cover when it does not move at all to replace the ceramic cartridges valves?
Hi please contact our support team by phone 01444 871313
hi, I can budge the cap covering the cartridge. Can get a spanner near it. Any suggestions? Thanks
You can try some hot water over it to loosen the corrosion
What's the best approach to removing a stuck handle? I've taken grub screw out, loosened the collar part but the actual handle won't come off. On the video it looks like it falls off without much trouble but I've spent 30 mins trying to get handle off!
Hi, Sorry to hear you are having trouble, some of the handles can get corroded on to the spline of the cartridge and are very hard to pull off. It will come off but you will just have to use a lot of force, whilst bracing the tap block. I hope you are able to remove it!
thanks, finally managed it - yes it was corroded/seized on, took about half an hour to release as was nervous about damaging the surface of the tap if i used tools, but with a bit of huffing and puffing it finally eased off. all good now.
and if it helps anyone else, even though the whole bush unscrewed with the cartridge (as you say it might), but then i put a cloth around the bush, then clamped around the bush with some wide jaw plumbing pliers and managed to spanner the cartridge out.
My handle was stuck, I resorted to hammering it off with a bit of wood as a drift. Of course this then broke the splines off the cartridge and left them inside the handle. After soaking in descaling solution the splines came out of the handle easily. I wonder if a spray of WD40 through the grub screw hole using one of those red needle tubes that come with WD40 sometimes..... would have helped to soften the scaling and it might have just pulled off.
I too have removed the cartridge from the bush using water pump pliers. I need to buy a new cartridge now which come with the splines intact.
I can't remove mine. It's limescaled up to **** but no matter how long I literally soak it in remover, or whack or try to force it off, won't budge
I've tried also to remove mine unable to get the lever off. Grub screw completely removed. Gave a few whacks with mallet but unable to budge 😞
@@JayG2K I ended up breaking the cartridge inside, snapped the tap handle off with it. Couldn't get it from out of the tap handle spines, so I bought a whole new tap. Soak it in limescale removing fluid for a few hours and give it a swirl now and then, it got most of the limescale sticking it on for me, until I whacked it with a hammer 😵
I also could not get the handle off after removing the grubscrew. I hit it off with a hammer and a bit wood, broke the splines inside the handle - soaked with descaler and the splines come out.
My idea for anyone reading this would be to spray WD40 through the grubscrew hole (using the red nozzle tube) until you can just pull it off. You can use water pump pliers and a 17mm socket to remove the cartridge from the bush.
hi mate
my tap doesn't have the grub screws, but screws behind the end caps. took them out but tap won't budge. shall I continue to use REAL force ?
thanks
MrAnth58 hi yes you will need to use some force whilst bracing the tap block. They can get corroded to the Tap splines
Tap Magician
heavily corroded even after only a year ?
@@MrAnth58
Hi I have mixer tap it has no screw? On the taps so not sure how to fix the hot tap dripping do you have any suggestions for me ? Anything would be helpful
@@lindathomson7230
Hi Linda
There may be end caps on the side of the tap which can be prized off with a small flat implement like a knife or screwdriver, you should get to the screws that way.
My cartridge cover cap won't unscrew. Tried turning it with all my strength with rubber gloves and its not moving
I have given up and bought a new tap.
I have the same problem, I can't budge the cover cap. I've tried various tools and cloths, tried heating it (to expand it), sprayed in Viakal, but no use. Any other suggestions welcome.
@@damonbeales9588 I cut a piece of kitchen sponge cloth to cover cartridge cover and then I gently used a plumbers grip pliers to persuade some movement. I changed the Carron Phoenix Opus cold water cartridge yesterday. Took no more than an hour on my 1st time
Good luck with this. On my eiger tap the grubscrews dont turn (felt like they are rounded off before i even start), and so its going to cost 100 quid to get plumber out to replace tap. Plus 70 quid for a new tap as the old Franke tap is clearly cheap rubbish made out cheapskate components. Will never buy Franke again.
Chiiii
I can't get my grub screw out, on the hot water side, please, what can I do to get it out?
