Dripping ceramic disc tap ?

I have a bathroom tap (single lever)which is dripping when turned off. I think it is a ceramic disc type. I inherited it and don't know the make. Do I have to replace the whole cartridge and how do I identfy it?

Thanks for your help. There should be a standard for disc cartridges, We don't need all these varieties.

You can buy the ceramic washers. Normally its a little bit of dirt has got in between the 2 washers & keeps a small gap open which the water gets through.
If you have the make of the tap you could try emailing the company to see if they can send you the relevant part - normally taking a pic of the tap will help them identify which one you'll need.
