How much would it cost to replace and fit a bath tap? I believe you can get Reviver kits but the issue I have is with a worn out damaged screw on the head of the tap. A very tiny amount of water is dripping from the base of the tap in to the bath. Thanks.

Screw turn type. Nothing elaborate similar to this:

Hardest thing will be finding taps that match your basin taps. Unless you're not overly fussy. If you are might be a good time to update the taps for both the bath and basin as it makes a big different to the overall look.
Cost to change all won't be much more than changing just the bath.
Judging by the tap design they've not been fitted recently so guessing you won't have isolation valves. Might be worth asking the plumber / handyman to fit these too at the same time, will make it easier in the future.
As for price, depends on your area and whether you get an actual plumber or just a handyman type person. Its not a big job so you might struggle getting someone to bother coming out!

If it's fitted with flexible pipe it's easy just find out if one or two hole design and whether you want mixer or two taps.
If it's fixed pipe then get a plumber

If the screw head is worn you can snap the head off completely to get to the insert, you will find its leaking from the insert down the tap.
Replace with above kit and you should be fine
