If you mean the long necked tap on the right, it looks like a drinking water tap, there will be a replaceable filter under the sink.
The cap comes off the end of the handle, there will be a screw under that you need to undo.
Then the valve will come off using a deep socket or suitably sized spanner (use something like grips to stop the tap body from turning), there you will see the washer if it is a pillar type valve, it is likely to be 1/2'' or 3/8''.
If your tap is a quarter turn type, you'll need to take the valve to a good plumbers merchants to find a replacement 1/4 turn ceramic valve.
 
Best thing to do with those filter taps when they get that bad is to replace them, that one looks in poor condition.
 
needs replacing, it will almost certainly have a cartridge anyway and the chances of getting a match is slim. have a look at pozzani water filters....i fit those when asked about filters.

Our kitchen mixer tap has started dripping. Like so much of the plumbing in our almost new build bungalow, it is lacking! The plumber didn't install any isolating cocks in the H&C feed to the tap so how can I identify which of the valves is passing? Shut the whole H&C water system down?

I have attached an image of the brass body within a tap. Having replaced a cartridge which has cured a leaking tap, I can see that there is a small leak from the brass body which can be unscrewed. Is there a seal behind the body? Thanks.
