Leaking Tap Repair

A dripping tap, leaking mixer or toilet that keeps running is worth describing clearly so a plumber can arrive prepared to assess the fitting and its connections.

When to ask for help

  • A tap drips after being turned off, a mixer leaks around its base, or water is visible below a fitting.
  • A toilet continues filling or water use has changed without an obvious reason.

What to include in your job post

  • Identify the room and fitting type, and attach a close photo or short description of where water appears.
  • Say whether you have already isolated the water and whether the leak is active now.

What can affect the scope

  • Replacement parts depend on the fitting and its condition.
  • Water damage, corroded connections or poor access can make a small repair more involved.
