Top broken off my tap

Changing both taps might be the appropriate option here.

Coor! Didn't know they used plastic now. I look forward to seeing the suggestions.

Spend £12 on a new pair. I think that wins the Effort vs. Expenditure battle.

For what a new set of good quality taps cost, (sub £15), fit a new pair. ..

You appear still to have a reasonable hexagon left on the bit in the tap. Try to find a ring or socket spanner which is *slightly* too small, and hammer it on. [Don't use too much force when hammering, or you'll break the basin!]

If you can't shift it with a ring or socket spanner, use a pad saw to make two vertical cuts on opposite sides of the inside of the broken bit. Then get a flat piece of metal (similar to a wide, thin screwdriver bit) which will slide into your cuts - and twist it with mole grips.

If none of this works, it's new taps!

Yack Plastic tap heads, if all else fails attack it with a pad saw then hammer and something pointed. Even B&Q do replacement brass tap heads for 98p
