You need to change the washer inside the pipe. If its not the washer then it must be the tap itself. Some brass fitting taps corrode with time. If its an old fitting, replace the set of taps.

Added: If it's not the washer then it may be the seat that the washer closes against. The link discusses that as well.

If you could not buy its rubber fittings, you'll have to buy the whole faucet. Just mention it to the sale attendant of what type of faucet you have and wait for any suggestions from him. Or better yet, go to the Hardware where you buy such faucet and ask for help regarding your problem.

The upshot is that in case you're doing away with a upkeep settlement with BGS the probability is you heavily isn't without warmth or warm water till the boiler is so previous they are in a position to't get spares.
