Sofia Monobloc Tap; how do you replace the ceramic valves or remove handles?

I have a tap kitchen tap which is made Damixa. I bought it 7 years ago from B&Q - same as this on here - see link:

The tap is dripping on the cold side. Can you get replacement ceramic valves for these taps and are they easy to fit?

How do you get the handles/head gear off? On mine there is no Alan-key bolt on the handles to remove it.

I would appreciate and help or advice please.

Many thanks all
