Vanity unit built in sink mixer tap leaking at the swivel. Is it repairable?

[gm23]

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.

Does the water appear from around the edge of the circular bit ,or where the vertical bit meets the base ?

The water is coming from around the circle swivel

Possibly, but you'd need to know the make & model of the tap

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.

I was hoping that but theres no screw and I tried pulling it off with no luck. I'm not sure of brand but my guess is it's some generic import crap.

You will need to remove it ,and strip it on a bench .
