Hi, The mixing tap swivel in my bathroom sink has began to leak. Can anyone tell me if it's repairable or if it needs replaced. I attached a few photos. Is it possible to remove it from the top and add a new seal.
I would have thought a rubber "O" ring round the spigot of the rotating spout is worn out. Often there is a tiny retaining screw round the back. Unless you know the name you would have to measure it and buy one to fit (plus a few spares). A little white silicone grease will help the deal and reduce wear. Some imported taps to not have a "spares" service, but major British makes such as Bristan are pretty good.
your spout looks quite big and heavy which might contribute to the wear.
