how can i fix a leaking mixer tap?

sometimes you have to clean the seat in the bottom where the washer sits, limescale can make pit marks in the seat and the washer won't seal fully.

plumbers have a tool with a cutting edge which they screw in and recut & clean the seat up.
you can buy the tool called a tap reseater anything from £15 - £50 for a descent one.
