Having a dripping tap can be frustrating, often unnoticed during the day but it’s at night when it can be annoying. ​Luckily it is actually quite easy to repair a leaking tap, however without the proper knowledge and tools it's best to contact a qualified plumber.
​There are a few reasons why a tap can start to drip.

  • Tap Washer - Tap washers are used to create a seal when you turn the tap off. Because taps are frequently used, sometimes daily, tap washers can wear over time.This is a main cause for a dripping or leaking tap.
 
  • Valve Seating - A valve seating is what the tap washer pushes up against. They need to be smooth to create a seal with the washer. They can become worn and this means there is a gap between the seating and the washer, allowing water to trickle down. 
​
  • O Ring - A small screw is used to hold the handle of the tap in place. With this screw is a small disc, known as the O ring. The O ring can become worn over time and this causes a tap to start leaking near the handle.
