fixing leaky tap

[gordon999]

how would i go about fixing this leaky tap?
I pretty much am a novice at this sort of thing.

Its this sort of thing on the link.. but has one on each side. The whole turning mechanism is one piece of metal.

really? its gonna cost a whole lot to replace.. because of the sink its fitted to. It was fitted by a bonehead, and the design is awful. I'll probably call a plumber in the next few days.

Thanks for the heads up, and replying

May need a new cartridge but you're going to have to be more specific on the taps and problem you have.

It drips constantly.. more like constant small amount of flow though the tap.
If i fiddle with it a bit, the water stops coming out, or reduces the water flowing. I'll see if i can get the exact tap type up.

Type of tap is a start but there are literally hundreds of possibilities, see here http://www.lunns.net/tapspares Maybe remove one and see if that gives you any clues?
