Monobloc Bath Mixer Tap

[jonlea]

I have a bath mixer tap which has just one multifumction handle controlling both hot and cold water. It is dripping badly. How do I change the washer especially how do I get to the washer as it is not obvious to me how the handle is removed.

you have a cartridge gone,good luck on getting spares,it comes apart by removing the red/blue circle screw under there

yes i mirror gas man b&q taps are more often than not made in china with practically non existent spares supply you will probably be better off getting a new set of taps in the long run
