I’ve never mended a leaky tap before so now the time has come and advice would be greatly appreciated. The part I’ve arrowed has become loose. I’ve tightened it and naturally it’s loose again.
I know if I’m to pull this apart I need to switch the water off under the sink. But any ideas if this is just a washer or something more complex???
It's likely you will need a new cartridge for a quarter turn tap and not a washer. If you can work out what make and model of tap you have then finding a new cartridge will be easier.

It being filthy might not help.
