Hi, I've got a leaking mixer tap on the bathroom sink. The handles are bullet shaped and there are no screws. I've tried twisting and pulling but not with great force as one or the other will snap them.

I've searched Google but cannot find similar taps. Wonder if anyone has experience of them and knows how to take apart?

Just noticed as I posted, there seems to be a slim chrome ring between tap and coloured ring. Perhaps need to grip that and twist handle?
 
If no screws hold it ,then it will just pull off. That , however,is sometimes quite a challenge as limescale tends to fuse the parts together.
It looks like 1/4 turn valves ,and valves have to be replaced if they don't fully close ,sometimes a waste of time replacing them and better to fit a new tap.

As previously advised: remove and fit new tap, all of it.
