Replacement bits and pieces for bathroom taps

[Mum2Rose]

Hello all...here is a contender for the stupidest question of the day!! The taps in the wash basin in the bathroom have black screw-in rubber ends where the water comes out and they are looking a bit worse for wear...are they able to be replaced at all or does that part come with the tap?
I have no clue what they would be called (washers?) so I haven't been able to find anything of any help by searching on-line...except details of this website!!
Appreciate any help you can give me...once you have stopped laughing at my dense-ness of course!!
Thanks

they are flexible hoses I presume - the tap connector is at one end (with a rubber washer in it), and the other end joints to a copper pipe.

If this is what you are talking about, then its dimensions would most likely be - 1/2" - 300mm - 15mm.

Hope this helps.

I think the poster is meaning the plastic strainers which go in the spout of some taps.

If you can get them out a good soak in vinegar will clean off limescale. Some branded taps have replacements available.
