Plumbing replacement parts for bath and shower mixers that aim to stop drips and restore smooth handle action. Practical reassurance for DIYers and plumbers who want a straightforward swap. Will TML Bath Tap Cartridge Valve match older cartridges and seal correctly when measured?

⚡ At a Glance
  • Sealing Performance: Accurate 20-spline engagement with a 53mm body height for a secure mechanical fit
  • Best for: Homeowners and plumbers replacing bath or shower mixer cartridges
  • Not ideal for: Basin or sink taps that require a smaller 1/2" cartridge

Replacement cartridge specifies 20 splines and a 53mm height. Seating depth is 26mm, so confirm measurements before ordering.


Stops drips reliably, with 20-spline engagement

Twenty splines transfer torque evenly between the spindle and valve, restoring correct handle rotation and alignment. Precise spline geometry helps the internal seals seat evenly against the valve body.

Reliable closure reduces water waste and prevents the steady dripping that leads to higher bills and wasted hot water.

Easier installation, with supplied solid brass M4 screws and instructions

Solid brass M4 screws resist corrosion in wet environments and offer secure mounting compared with cheaper fixings. Supplied fitting instructions walk through the mounting sequence and basic checks.

DIYers and tradespeople save time and avoid extra trips for parts, making a single visit more likely to finish the repair.

Correct application for bath and shower mixers, with 26mm seating depth

Designed for 3/4" mixer valves that match a 26mm seating depth and 53mm overall height, so the seal sits at the correct depth within the tap body. Not suitable for smaller basin cartridges that use a 1/2" size.

Use where the old cartridge measures the same; choosing the matching seating depth is essential to achieve a watertight seal.
