Default Bath Tap Washers

Thanks and thanks to Mike also. Yes, that describes what I've got,
including the wheel shaped thing in the airing cupboard. I'll go and
buy a few different washer sizes tomorrow and hopefully sort it out on
the weekend.

Glad it helps.

Have you tried operating the gate valve (wheel handle) to make sure you can
operate it, and also that you can loosen the chrome capps, and the brass
inserts on the taps which carry the washers? These may well be pretty
solid, and you will need to be sure you can get at the business end if you
want to do it in one hit.

OSINTOTS apart, of course
