I have antique style faucets that are quite expensive and they have lost their seals. Where can I find new or replacement seals?
A short checking of manufacturers on the internet can give you an idea on the availability of such supplies. If unavailable, you could consider having some made for you by manufacturers but expect high prices due to the special production costs. Another option would be to have them re-fitted by a machinist who might be able to replace the inner parts with more modern types that have easily available replacement parts without losing the exterior look you so prize to maintain.

I keep on getting dirty water from the mains, what could be the cause?
