Hi, I have a ALSVIK dual control kitchen mixer tap from Ikea. It started dripping recently and I don't know how to repair it. The taps don't seem to be removable so I can't replace the washer. The kitchen was already fitted when we moved into our house so we don't have the receipts, but I believe the model is less than 10 years old so it would have been under warranty. I have been asking around and have been told by Ikea that I need to buy a new tap and get it professionally fitted. This seems a bit extreme - what should have been a 10 minute job with a screwdriver looks as though it might end up costing £200 with parts and labour. Anyone have any ideas what I can do? thanks in advance DukeJon ps. the actual fitting is seen in this thread: http://www.ikeafans.com/forums/ikea-instructions/10651-alsvik-faucet.html#post208333
