This has been annoying me for about 18 months, so thought I should get round to fixing it

Basically my cold bathroom tap opens into full flow with just a tiny bit of rotation, but then it's a nightmare to close - need to get a towel round it and twist it really hard to stop it dripping.

I'm guessing there's a crushed washer in there somewhere, but I took the twisty knob off (tap is easy to isolate below the sink) and couldn't see anything obvious.

Any ideas?

It's this sort of tap:

YouTube shit like that. Loads of guides.

Or lookout for a set of basin taps. Good deals at Screwfix or Toolstation and easy enough to fit with flexis/isolators.
