Depends what customer wants!
All new and shiny or cheap replacement of a damaged basin.
If he want to spend on new, let him.

If you want to avoid any swearing with damaged seals, just get a new waste, they're cheap.
If the tap is ok you can refit it.
Bear in mind that some taps don't have removable tails, so check that first.

If getting a new waste and going for a click clack... Get one of the mushroom ones as the whole thing can be pulled out and cleaned when needed... The internal throat ones get stuck and can't be pushed to pop up. You get call backs with these cos they is shyte!

Plenty of basin taps come with wastes, change both .
Would probably be easier/better to change both
OK, looks well cared for and good quality so no reason not to reuse it imo.
Pictures tell a lot... I was imagining a heap of crap!
It depends from their condition.
If they're rusted, kinked, twisted or leaking, surely change them.
If they're fine you can reuse them.
Biggest cause of house floods.
Reusing them or swapping for new one?
No... Them failing.
Not much you can do about it.
Most tap mixers come with them.
Gone are the days taps were solidly connected to copper pipes.
