Hi I replaced my hot and cold tap tonight cause the cold tap couldn’t turn the water of tap was just spinning. Fitted fine with no leaks. Now I have a leak coming from the middle bit where the chrome threaded ring is. Do I need to tighten the chrome threaded bit up in the middle to stop the leak or is there a washer within that’s easy to access, or is it a full new tap I need?
Cheers

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.
