You need a new cartridge.

I suspected as much - though my dismantling could only get as far as
big lump of metal weighing about 700g, that I could see no way of
getting into!

Thanks, but: if only...

Here's a picture of the tap:

The part I'm unable to dismantle is a great lump of metal nearly the
same diameter and length as the main body of the device shown in the
picture.

I'm not sure what's inside it, but it's a mixer tap controlled by a
single joystick that moves in two dimensions. Perhaps it's some weirdo
custom design that I won't find a spare part for, or perhaps inside
there's a standard part. But I can't get inside.

I'd guess (having had to do something similar with tap from Lidl) that
the guggins are held in by a quite small screw, more to locate than
support. Then, the main part should drop out - mine was a very tight
tolerance and took some persuading.

Hasten to add and again and as usual, leaked once I'd fixed it ;-)
