Leaky Taps

How to Fix a Leaky Tap

1. Turn Off the Water Supply – Locate the isolation valve (sometimes under the sink or basin) or turn off the mains water supply.

2. Remove the Tap Handle – Unscrew the handle cap and use a spanner to remove the retaining nut.

3. Replace the Washer or Cartridge – If it's a traditional tap, replace the rubber washer; if it's a mixer tap, swap the ceramic cartridge(Take your old one with you to make sure you get the right replacement).

4. Reassemble the Tap – Reattach all parts and turn the water supply back on.

5. Test for Leaks – Run the tap to check if the issue is resolved.
