I have a Bristan Easyfit Rio Basin tap assembly, and I have a drip which more than likely means that the ceramic valve needs cleaning or replacing, however after removing the screw in the top of the handle I cannot get the handle assembly off, I'm using WD40 and tapping it gently with a small hammer but to no avail, any ideas??

If you isolate both supplies, this tap will lift off very easy. Loosen both the grub screws at the base of the tap and lift off, tip upside down and gently tap the head off. Sorted. Refit. make sure you tighten the grub screws. Job done.

Brass tap body is leaking.
I have attached an image of the brass body within a tap. Having replaced a cartridge which has cured a leaking tap, I can see that there is a small leak from the brass body which can be unscrewed. Is there a seal behind the body? Thanks.

How to identify dripping tap.
Our kitchen mixer tap has started dripping. Like so much of the plumbing in our almost new build bungalow, it is lacking! The plumber didn't install any isolating cocks in the H&C feed to the tap so how can I identify which of the valves is passing? Shut the whole H&C water system down?
