San Marco Taps Spare Parts – Genuine Valves, Cartridges, Kits (UK)

Looking for San Marco taps spare parts? We supply only genuine replacement valves, cartridges, O-ring kits and other components — including the original San Marco ceramic disc valves still made to manufacturer specification. Whether your tap uses an SMR-stamped valve or one marked “San Marco 2006”, we’ll help you find the right part.

We are the only UK supplier of the original San Marco ceramic disc valves – still made for us by the same European factory that supplied the original parts. While many modern taps use SMR-stamped valves, some models require the earlier San Marco valve to stop a drip or achieve a proper seal. This is the valve still recommended by San Marco themselves for those specific tap configurations.

What Do the Stamps Mean?

“San Marco” with a date like 2006 or 2008: This indicates the manufacturer and the production year of the valve — not the model of your tap. We supply the same genuine part, still made to the original specification.

“SMR” stamped valves: These are modern ceramic valves made by San Marco. However, internal design changes in some tap models mean the current SMR version may not always seal properly. That’s why San Marco still recommends the original version we supply in certain cases.

For a more detailed explanation, see our SMR-stamped valve guide.

Why Genuine Matters

Choosing a genuine valve means a proper fit, reliable sealing, and long-term performance — especially in taps where small internal differences matter.

While some compatible valves may look similar, they’re often made with less brass or thinner seals. This can lead to:

• Poor fit or incorrect alignment
• Drips that persist after replacement
• Faster wear
• Voided warranties if non-approved parts are used

We supply valves made to the original specification — giving you peace of mind and a reliable repair.
