~i cant find any way of dismantling the tap ,opening the top of the taps or anything. it says visions on top of the taps. any help would be greatly appreciated thank you
 
Most 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.
 
Sometimes a rubber glove helps give grip on the chrome caps, that or boiling water poured over first.
