Item 32999 Grohe pull-out spray tap. The rubber cover for the switch mechanism on the top of the tap has worn through. Can we have this replaced?
Thank you. Juliette Powell

Have you checked to make sure the switch is fully in one position or another? It maybe be closer to the middle of switch?? It could be old and worn out?
I bought DANCO "universal faucet pull-out spray hose - fits all facuet brands" from Lowe's, which came with all kind of adapter and the hose quality seems to be better than overpriced Grohe spray hose replacement (Grohe part # 46092). The only problem is that you may have to prepare a large rubber washer in order to the handspray (Grohe part#46298) as I don't see this large washer in the package but it is very important to fit in place to prevent water leakage. - Michael
check and see if the weight is on the hose going to the handle, also check to see if the hose is free to fall down and that it is not hanging up on piping down under the sink
Best of Luck

you will need to undo the tap from the sink pull the tap up a little and feed the hose through the hole and connect it to the tap then re fix the tap to the sink most pull out taps are painfull to change the hoses
If it is just this faucet and no others then it is likely the filter screen in the tap head is clogged.
Remove the cover from under the tap head. Pries off from the tap head directly where the water comes out.
There is a metal mesh screen there. It will be full of white chalky deposits from minerals in the water supply. Clear that out and you will be good to go.
You will also want to clear the holes for the spray pattern. The same deposits will be there.
Good luck.

Hello, Many shower heads have similar problems. (Very frustrating as you now know) The problem is the threads at the end of the (cheap plastic) shower neck are not flat. They are tapered (has an edge) - so it does not seat flush with the base of the shower head. Actually cuts around the rubber washer causing a leak.
What to do about it?
File the end of the neck some to create a flat surface. However, go slow. Be sure you can still screw on the shower head. Add a flat rubber washer in the shower head and plumbers tape on neck threads too.
Or Purchase a new shower neck that has a better design. The neck should unscrew from the front. Check and make sure you have an access behind the shower just in case you need to access the plumbing.
I replace the shower neck myself if there is an access.
