Tap help

Hi all. My auntie sent a pic of her leaking bathtap. Pretty old as you can see. Would these taps have cartridges or just washers? Any tips as I want to go prepared. Many thanks.

Probably 3/4" compression washers, the type/shape of washer would depends on the make as you do get different types. You would need to take the valve out to check, or buy a washer kit with various types and hope the ones you need are included.

Does she turn them on fully to use, or just a quarter turn? If the former then as per @Madrab washers, if the latter, then cartridge type, but if they are you need to obtain the correct size, etc.
