Can anyone help me fix this tap leak (picture included)

A trick I've used in the past when I couldn't get correct o rings is this;

Take the original o rings off. Wind a few turns of PTFE tightly around the shaft so it is pulled into the grooves. Put the original o rings back on.

The PTFE just lifts them a tiny bit and may do the trick. Its worked for me several times when the original rings weren't too knackered.

And I thought I invented that trick :D
 
Sometimes with all the hazzle and time.
It would just be easier and quicker to buy
a new tap.

I stay well clear of customers who want to
repair taps. Invariably there are problems
that I haven't got hours and hours to fix.

New tap or not interested.
