thank you so much. turned the water off at the stopcock ,then tried what you recommended and it worked a treat. new washer for about £1 and all fixed. very many thanks.brilliantMost likely either:
1. The topmost chrome cap unscrews from the gold coloured band. OR
2. The gold coloured band unscrews from the larger chrome shroud on each tap.
This should reveal a screw which, if undone, allows the top of the tap to be removed. The body of each valve can then be unscrewed from the body of the tap with a spanner.
