How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power before handling the splash guard.

  • Inspect splash guard: Check the rubber baffle at the sink opening for tears, warping, or missing sections.
  • Reseat or replace: Remove the guard, clean the seating area, and refit it firmly. If it is damaged, install a new McAlpine splash guard compatible with your model.
  • Adjust water flow: Reduce tap flow slightly during operation to minimise splash-back.
