Bathroom mixer Tap head slipping - can’t work out how to tighten?!

[Barzin]

This may be a bit of a daft/easy question so you’ve been warned...

Our visitors were a bit rough with our bathroom taps and the head seems to be slipping now. By that I mean that the hot water turns on okay (turn through 90 degrees is full “on”), but when you come to turn it off, it moves past the “off” position and the water still isn’t off. It takes a bit of fiddling back and forth gently to get the tap to turn off. I’m concerned this is only going to get worse.

I went to fix it expecting to find a grub screw at the back to tighten, but there’s nothing external to the tap. Question now is how do I go about fixing this?

thanks for any help in advance

If there’s no grub screw, I would think it just pulls off. The issue will either be the head underneath, or a plastic bit inside perished.

Cool, thank you, I’ll give it a go later. I didn’t want to get to brute force without checking what was best first.
