View the thread, titled "How to disassemble this tap" which is posted in Bathroom Advice on UK Plumbers Forums.

Hi, I have a tap in my bathroom which has a slow drip leak. I can't figure out how to disassemble the tap. I think it is a John Sydney model and is about 15 years old but that's all the info I have about it. I've attached a picture of the tap.
Any ideas about how to disassemble it?
Thanks.

If its 15 years old I would just change it.
It looks like a quarter turn tap which means its not a washer change its a cartridge, which I doubt you'll find because they aren't just generic parts
 
Realistically, a lot of us have kits in our vans that will allow us to make a cartridge to fit, 90% of the time anyway. Or, if you can get the cartridge out, a plumbers' merchant may have something that will fit.

Probably there is a screw hidden under a pull-off cap on the handle and a nut hidden under the cap shroud to get the cartridge out.
