Here’s a step-by-step tutorial on repairing a dripping tap. Always follow the manufacturer’s guidelines to prevent flooding and spilling accidents.
Most modern taps have their own isolating valves. You should always turn this off (give it a quarter turn) before doing any work on your tap. If your tap doesn’t have an isolating valve, find and turn off your water from the mains. Once you’ve done this, turn on all your taps and run them dry.
You will need an adjustable spanner
, pliers
and a new washer.
