Supataps, a relatively new invention, remove the need to turn off the water before servicing.
There is a check valve inside the tap, which, if you hold the handle in one hand, and loosen the lock nut above it, will drop down and stop the flow of water once the handle is removed.
A "flow straightener will be visible at the end of the handle and this can be tapped out gently, sometimes even pushed out, onto the table. The washer and jumper are at the end of this flow straightener, and they can be replaced easily.
For all plumbing repairs around the home it is a good idea to have a collection of washers etc. Most plumbers merchants will sell a repair kit which contains any number of different washers, o rings, seals and diaphragms.
