How to fix a leaky tap?

Hey just trying to fix a leaky tap, I can’t seem to find a grub screw on this and I’ve tried to unscrew the tap by turning it sideways and pulling up. How would I go getting this off?

Re: Trying to fix a leaky tap

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @coreyw. It's great to have you join us, and many thanks for your question about removing a tap spout.

 

In the absence of a grub screw that allows the spout to be removed from the base, the easiest option might be to replace the whole spout and base. If you turn the spout to the right and then use it as a handle to rotate the base anti-clockwise, it should unscrew off a threaded pipe in the wall. After adding new thread tape, you can replace the spout with a Shaw & Mason 120mm Chrome Plated Tube Wall Spout WELS 3 Star 9L/min or Shaw & Mason WELS 3 Star 9L/min 180mm Chrome Plated Tube Wall Spout.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
