Why am I not surprised.
The leak is from the neck of the monobloc, I could have told him that, it is in need of a new 'o' ring, but did he bring one? Did he hell. Once the water has escaped the neck of the tap it is tracking down to the (perished)gasket and leaking in under the sink via that little convoluted route.
Did he have a spare gasket? Nope. Did he even have a bloody basin wrench? Nope. Seems a pretty basic requirement when one is called out to fix a leaky tap but none the less, who am I to assume! So what did he do? He lifted the tap a little and squirted some silicone sealant under the offending gasket! Arghhhhhh.
So in exasperation I have done him a deal, I will buy a gasket and 'o' ring and I will fit them........on the strict understanding that if it all falls apart he will stand the cost of further repair.
Hells bells and little fishes, is nothing simple?
........and for those of you questioning my current choice of colour, I'm not sure I can stand it either!

Perhaps your landlord?
