Replace a Ben Lavion cartridge/inside mechanism?

Replacing the internal mechanism (for example the cartridge/diverter or thermostatic unit) of a Ben Lavion tap on Zoofy usually falls under leaking tap repair. The fixed price for this job is €85 incl. VAT.

In practice, average costs are around €95, based on the last 85 completed jobs. Fixed costs are included and there are no call-out fees.

Please note: if you already have the correct replacement part ready, the job is often quicker. If additional parts are needed, material costs may be added.

On average, repairing a leaking tap takes about 1 to 1.5 hours. Replacing an internal cartridge usually fits within that timeframe when the tap is easily accessible.

For (concealed) shower sets or thermostatic systems with limited access, it can take a bit longer due to extra dismantling and adjustment.

A plumber typically follows a clear process to ensure your Ben Lavion tap works smoothly again and no longer leaks:

1. Inspection & diagnosis:
Checking where the issue comes from (leak at the handle, dripping from the outlet, unstable temperature, diverter not switching properly).

2. Shut off water & work safely:
The water supply is closed and the tap is depressurised.

3. Dismantling:
Handles and trim parts are removed neatly to access the internal unit.

4. Replacing the cartridge/inside unit:
The old unit is removed and replaced; seals/O-rings are addressed where needed.

5. Reassembly & adjustment:
Everything is reinstalled and adjusted (for example temperature limiting and smooth switching between outlets).

6. Leak testing:
Flow, all functions and leak-tightness are tested thoroughly.
