How Do I Get at Washers on My Taps?

One each of the pairs of taps in the kitchen, bathroom sink and bath leak. I have pictures but do not know how to load them here. They all have traditional cross shaped tops (with little plastic buttons in the middle) that you turn clockwise to turn on, plus a funnel shape part underneath on the stem. I don't know how to dismantle the taps to get at the washers and whether you need special tools.

You might want to ISOLATE the hot and cold water supplies FIRST ?.

remove the plastic centres
in the middle will be a screw, remove that
then remove the funnel part underneath, that can be tight sometimes. be careful not to squash it.
then you'll see the brass valve
unscrew that with adjustable spanner
