My Last DIY Attempt - Missing Piece From Bathroom Sink?

    My bathroom sink has a hot and a cold tap - but the hot tap seems to be missing a piece. The water doesn't come out in a nice stream.

    I think the piece is called an 'aerator'. I watched some YouTube videos showing how to remove/replace an aerator - but they all involved unscrewing the old piece and screwing in the new one. My tap doesn't have threads on it though, so I don't think I can screw a new one in.

    Here is what the other side looks like

    Can anyone tell me if this is an easy fix?

    Why dare i ask did you take it out of the tap?

    These are not the standard ones so yes they might be hard to get. You can try a bathroom showroom but tbh they wont really be bothered.

    Sorry I was unclear...

    I didn't take it out. I've moved into a new place and it's missing. In trying to fix it, I watched videos on YouTube that showed how to remove/install them.

    You can try to pick up one but its going to be difficult. If you glue it in just glue the outsides. ie around the circle not inside
