Quarter-turn taps have ceramic valves which have to be replaced. Unless you have the name of the tap it's pretty difficult to try to find a valve which fits.
Taps are so cheap now that it isn't worth a lot of effort (easy to say when I don't have to pay a plumber).
These gys sell all the standard ones:

thanks ChrisR,
i dont really know the name of the tap. you reckon i should get a plumber in to fix it. it does not look like a straight forward job.
thanks
