    Leaking Bath Mixer Tap

    Hi I have a dishwasher cold water supply that is leaking (See Photos). My initial thought was the washer was maybe gone but looks ok. Thought about PTFE tape but everywhere says this shouldn't be needed? Any suggestions? Thanks!

    Leaking Howden's Atomix monobloc tap 2431.

    It's leaking beads through the top of the swivel ring, but I don't think from the base. I've replaced the valve cartridge, but no change. Help, please. If the whole tap needs tightening from below, what are the tools? Pictures of tap above sink and of connection below. Thanks. Dave.
