Will I need to replace my garden tap?

My garden tap (brass) has started slipping when I turn off the water. As the tap tightens, just as you are about to stop turning, something inside slips and water flows again. Will the tap need to be replaced or can I change a washer inside?

For simplicity I think I'd just replace the tap.
I've done that myself, (without even shutting off the water - I did get a bit wet . Not too badly though). Just make sure you have everything ready and the threaded bit of the new tap with a goodly layer of PTFE tape wound on.
