We used our van for the first time this season, this weekend, and, on connecting the water supply we discovered a leak on the bathroom tap.

I'm going to try and dismantle it myself, i hope its just a washer that needs replacing but I've got a few questions. It's a Compass Omega and the tap is a monoblock mixer.

I've had a look under the basin, are all the fittings "push" and therefore they will just pull apart with enough force?

i've taken the lever off the tap but the unit housing the ceramic unit seem fixed to the base - any suggestion as to how i can get this off?

That's it for now but i'm sure i'll be back with more questions soon enough.

UPDATE ... I managed to get the ceramic cartidge out and this looked fine so I set about taking the tap off. Once done, i found a small crack on the thread part that comes below the top. There was also a pin that i think was holding the two feed pipes in place. This had gone rusty. My conclusion then is that I need a new reich mixer tap, they seem to be about £50 on most websites, anybody found a cheaper one?
