Fitted one of these garden tap kits for my mum about 2 years ago

I popped around yesterday and the inside self cutting tap is squirting out water just below the tap handle when in the open position (water flowing to outside tap). If the tap is closed the leak stops.


Are these taps serviceable like a normal tap - e.g. do they have replaceable washers? Or would i need to replace the whole tap fitting which is cut into the pipe?
