Replacement Shower/Tap hand unit?

[billy]

Hi
The heads Shower/Tap unit in my (just purchased) SO32i leaks at the top ‘switch’ end.
I can source the whole unit incl. mixer part and pipes for about €100 but assume it must be possible
to buy just a spare hand unit part?
Any thoughts where i might get one in UK or mainland Europe?

Got a direct link to the item - mine is rather pitted and am interested to know if the same?  

Thanks,

Billy,

If you're going to the trouble of replacing the tap or parts you should also consider changing the hose: shop.lunns.net/croceine-pull-out-bath-shower-hose--12-cone-x-m15-2m-long-cw5494568711-uol6-4-bespoke-part-251155-p.asp

Note that the hose attaches to the tap with a M15 thread if you have a similar set up to our 45DS. The Aquafax diagram would suggest you have. I could only find a 1.5m long hose so had to go with that. To change ment removing the whole vanitiy unit!!!

Thanks Ian
Tho' I'm hoping to only replace the leaky showerhead part onto existing hose which otherwise all seems in very good condition
