No they come in a couple of different sizes - bath taps are bigger than sink taps etc. Best bet, if you're not sure & you don't want to leave the tap dismantled while you go to B&Q (other DIY stores are available!), is to get a pack of various sizes & keep the rest as spare - just replace the individual ones as you use them.0

Take out the washer from the tap that isn't leaking - or if the one that is still has the washer intact measure it (or just take to DIY store) the washer(s) you have have most likely worn and are not providing sufficient seal.One hundred years from now it won't matter what kind of car I drove, what kind of house I lived in, how much money I had in the bank, nor what my clothes looked like but the world may be a little better because, I was important in the life of a child.0
