Got to change a washer or inspect at least as got a screening hot tap. Don't want to damage trying to remove though. Any one know if they unscrew, flick off, pull off or reverse thread. Seem really solid...
My guess would be the top dome unscrews. Might be stuck with scale and need treating with a descaler, vinegar will do. Grip it with a rubber glove to unscrew.
Found the suppliers and they identify it as discontinued Meridian taps. Unscrew top and also recommended the ol Rubber Glove trick. The part is a valve not washer - grr, and at £21 + £6 postage is a bit dear to just stop the noise. Can you clean a ceramic valve or are they just knackered. The part they have suggested is this VLV 04050-BL but it says COLD in the title on their site when I googled it, I assume that is for a cold tap not hot. Is there really a difference for Hot/Cold, I will need to try and get the hot version part number I guess. And if so is there a non manufacturer part available I wonder? Not seeing valves on the screwfix site, perhaps just too many variations...

Anyone any ideas how I take a Bristan tap off. I’m wondering if the brass head screws off but don’t want to damage anything by trying. Thanks in advance. See photo. Thanks.
