Do I need to change a washer? Maybe I need to replace the tap?

You need to hold the tap body and prevent it from turning.
Important,you may bugger upthe pipework underneath if you don't.

You may well find your el cheapo tap is *buggered. *In the UK you can
buy a new complete top and guts for it making it effectively new once
more.

little unconventional.
It's just about the cheapest tap/faucet you can get. *They are good
for ten years. They are prone to limescale getting in the thread and
either the tap seizes up or gets very stiff/restricted movement.
London has lots of lime in the water.
It may clean up or the thread may be buggered.

I cant get the brass bit off (still). If I buy a new tap, will I still
have to remove that brass bit? May just replace the whole thing.
