Diagnosing the fault
Identifying which valve or part has failed.
A dripping tap wastes water and can stain your sink or bath over time. Whether it's a worn cartridge, washer or ceramic disc, tell us which tap is dripping and where you are, and we'll help you request a local professional to repair it.

Share a few details and we'll help direct your request to a participating local professional. Submitting an enquiry is free and carries no obligation.
Not every leaking tap repairs problem looks the same. These are the signs that suggest it's worth requesting professional help.
A tap that won't stop dripping even when firmly closed.
A brief dribble after shutting off can mean a worn valve.
A stiff or gritty handle can wear the valve and cause a leak.
Limescale around the spout can harbour drips and stains.
One side dripping means only one cartridge needs replacing.

A symptom is rarely the whole story. Whether it's a visible fault or a problem hidden behind a wall, under a floor or inside a fitting, understanding the likely cause first helps ensure the right leaking tap repairs work is carried out — and reduces the chance of it coming back.
The right approach depends on the problem. A professional can advise what's appropriate for your situation — not every professional offers every method below.
