What are this part of the tap called?

I have a traditional style bathroom. The sink taps have little screw on discs in the top that say hot and cold but I need new. What is the part called? Can I buy them separately? Thanks

Hi since finding out what these are called I still cannot locate any. It doesnt come up with any matches when I go on sites. Does anyone know where I can purchase these little screw in tops. My bath ones are fine, but my sink ones are faded, used to say Hot and Cold. Thanks

Hi: you need to identify the make and model of taps. Lunns sell a range of indices as do manufacturers such as Bristan.

Take the offending down to a proper plumbers merchant ie not a shed or anything like plum***** 'cos their staff basically don't know anything.

Your merchant should be able to advise you if its a proper make and not cheap Chinese tat or suggest a suitable alternative if he can't.
