Hi, I have mixer taps and the hot water, but not the cold water, was spraying when it came out. I took off the tap head to clean the filter and this piece fell out of the tap. Looking into the tap, there is a plastic tube, but there is no place to screw it back into. The tap is better, but not flowing perfectly. What is the piece and is it necessary? I have also tried the hand over the tap method, turning both taps on to remove an airlock, in case it was that. It's not spraying as much, but the flow is not consistent, so wondering how vital this piece is? Any ideas?

Picture of tap and the spout that part fell out of would be useful
Hi, apologies, I had uploaded a picture of the part below the text, but maybe it didn't show up for some reason. I've attached a picture of the tap, and the part that came out of it here. Just wondering if it is a vital part? The spraying is not as bad, but the water flow could be better. Thank you!

Buy a new tap.

there is no scale to show the size of the part that fell out, but I think it has to be part of the aerator assembly. it looks to me like it might once have been soldered in place. there was probably also a plastic part that is lost.
As above that's a at best 'cost effective ' tap needs replacing.
