I've tried taking it apart and putting it back together but I couldn't find anything in particular wrong. do you have any idea if it would be possible to just replace the temperature knob? or do i just need to buy a new faucet entirely? the link below is for a tap that looks really similar to the one I have now. Would I be able to buy a similar faucet and replace it myself, or will i need to pay for a plumber to replace it? thanks for the help! https://www.diy.com/departments/aurora-luxury-bathroom-bath-filler-shower-mixer-tap-valve-only-thermostatic-chrome/5056806130910_BQ.prd?&&&&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwh_i_BhCzARIsANimeoHbIha3va4JjyqkRjlIxXZ4L18RnBXK1RIJ5Byr-ST6OjnKM7Xtr5MaAtHrEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds submitted by /u/Ok_Fox8514 [link] [comments]
