Leaking tap
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.
