Leaking tap

[beeseejay]

How do I get at the washer in a mixer tap? The thing is dripping and this is the first time I've had a leak on a single tap. I don't see how the tap itself comes off so I'm a little bemused. TIA

Sometimes a little grubscrew on the back of the mixer spout near where it rotates. If it's there, MAKE SURE you put the plug in the sink before you unscrew it.

There's a grub screw at base of outlet pipe. That will give access to spout seal.
Depending if it is monoblock, dual heads or CERAMIC valve (1/4-1/2 turn) depends on what you do regarding valve washers/seals.
Ceramic usually needs a seal kit from manufacturer.
Some mixers have conventional valve heads under the tap tops.
What make/type is it?

Thank you - that has just rung a bell! I've felt what must be the grubscrew when cleaning around the sink. That is the first job in the morning. Thanks again.

Hi Albags. Don't know the make or type it's been in a year or several. Definitely not ceramic though.
