How to change a washer in a double laundry tap?

We purchased these taps from Bunnings about 6 months ago. Now the outlet over the tub is dripping.  There are no leaks any where, just over the tub. How do I fix this?

Hello @Halimah 🖐

I'm afraid I wont be of much use either as I've never dismantled let alone seen one of these taps before, however every leak I have experienced through the body of a tap fixture has been due to a failed o-ring seal on the threaded shaft.

Hi @Halimah,

 

As @DIYGnome has mentioned, water leakage from a handle is typically due to damaged o-rings on the spindle. I'd recommend you change the ones seen in your image as yours look to have some damage.

 

Please let me know if you have any questions.
