Need to get the tops of to identify the leaking glands or washers so I can replace them. Normally there's a little flip up that reveals a screw that you undo to get at the glands but not present. The whole top also appears to be a solid unit so the dome doesn't unscrew from the base, unless it's seized. I don't really want to pay £100 for a plumber callout as changing the glands is generally a two minute DIY job. Any thoughts or suggestions welcome.

Use a photo of the taps to do a "search by image" on Google. Hopefully you'll get a match and then you'll know the manufacturer and can ask them.
 
Initial thoughts are the top cap and it's tight/gunked up, or when they're closed continue tightening them to see if they unscrew?
 
Would suspect it screws off

The silicon behind the taps also needs work, you may have water going behind the tub there causing damage
