Tried removing stem to access the grub screw? But only succeeded in damaging chrome.
Thanks for any help. It's leaking and I need to change the cartridge.

Usually on that style the top is a thin cap screwed onto the body of the handle.
Hard to see from the angle of the phot if it is on this one.
 
Looks like it's one piece to me.
Assume thete has to be access to a grub screw somewhere?

New tap

Managed to remove the stem after descaling and wrecking it with grips
but I can get a replacement.
Removed the grub screw but the cap wont budge now. Is it limescale again?
Any safe way to remove as I really don't want to wreck this part if possible?
