If there is a manufacturer stamp on sink email them if not try lunns if they dont have one new tap

Aren't they sold at plumbers merchants?

Possibly, if you know the exact one you need. There are literally hundreds of different ones.

Was hoping you'd say the one in the picture seemed standard, guessing not?

No such thing as standard I'm afraid.
If you have a local plumbers merchant take the cartridge and the tap head in and they may be able to help.

As said look for a brand name on the tap

My local has few dozen in stock that they can compare against.

If they don't have one I fit new taps

Than do you no how much the cartridge usually cost? Just weighing this up against a new tap. Thanks

Varies from around £10-30 ish for a 1/2inch tap cartridge when they are at the higher end I generally recommend replacing the tap. If one cartridge has started to drip the other will follow shortly.

If you go with a new tap get a descent one such as bristan for which spares will be easy to come by
