Do you have hard water where you are? The mechanism may just need a good de-scale. As my dripping kitchen tap does!
Top tip: if they haven't got them already, fit stop-valves below the taps when you have to change/fix them. Saves all that hassle of making sure the cold and/or tank has drained.

'ang on, most taps I have seen are servicable in-situ.
The tops normally pull strqaight off or a top/cap unscrews or a bung is pulled out giving access to the screw. Then you can get to the tap/valve body etc.
PS: Turn off the water first.

As Vindaloo and others say. But get the washer off first and take it as a pattern to the shop.
If you vaue your ceiling you wont forget to turn the mains water off of course. I don't apologise for mentioning it again.
