It's worth a go - check youtube for details - it's slightly fiddly but doesn't take long. Even if it's an odd size it looks pretty similar to what I've stripped. We had some descaler knocking about, but a good scrub and/or white vinegar probably also do the trick.
When you pull apart there are a couple of rubber seals along the way - one of them may have gone.
Gives you a good DIY satisfaction vibe if it works!
