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?

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.

UK Can't get stopcock 100% closed to allow a tap repair
I have a plumber coming tomorrow to change a cartridge on a badly dripping tap on my bathroom mixer unit. There is no separate isolating valve for this tap so I'll have to close the stopcock. I tried closing it today but it won't go absolutely 100% closed and there is still a very slight flow...

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?
