Hi All,


My tap started dripping yesterday and today it is dripping considerable faster. Do not want to get the to the stage where I have to turn the water off as it is gushing out during Christmas. I have tried my usually DIY guy but he is booked up until the new year so is there a plumber or advanced DIYer who can fix it asap. I can pay in cash rather than transferring it electronically if that swings your availability. Or if anyone knows anyone with availability please shout out.


Thanks you so much.

Here's a nice dishy fella giving a tutorial about how to fix a leaky tap.


The one here is a rubber traditional tap washer. Ceramic taps are a little simpler but needs a more specialist part - eg from the tap doctor.

There is a general point about why we are becoming a less practical nation - not a specific go at you, but a Readers Digest DIY manual always comes in useful. https://www.amazon.co.uk/s?k=readers+digest+diy+manual+2020&i=stripbooks&adgrpid=100892319021&gclid=Cj0KCQiA2ZCOBhDiARIsAMRfv9JOzemvazKTariINtmDSNxENyoTsLuBI3iz_ayOymsKJtnELrSHBBYaAu-DEALw_wcB&hvadid=448031438305&hvdev=c&hvlocphy=9045880&hvnetw=g&hvqmt=e&hvrand=6011028487553365787&hvtargid=kwd-1210707735589&hydadcr=24458_1816148&tag=googhydr-21&ref=pd_sl_6on6a0o7k9_e_p50

Did you solve your dripping tap?


the pipes that connect to our taps have isolators so if there's a problem you can turn tap off there to solve the problem temporarily rather than turn all the water off.take a look under the sink you might be in luck.


See badly taken picture below or DM me if you need more advice.


Otherwise i'd also recommend Nico.

    • You'd need to get a proper quote (or three) for instance removing a cast iron bath is a very different job from removing an acrylic one. Again what pipe work will be being joined into - matching old imperial pipes with modern metric ones is different from like to like, as is dealing with a copper or an iron distribution system. The amount (area) of retiling required is an issue, as will be the state of the wall behind the tiles. It may of course all be very plain sailing, or not. Have a first look at plumber recommendations on the relevant pages on this site. If it's all easy then 3 days work may be sufficient. But it could be a week if there are snags. 
    • Hi. Can anyone suggest a plumber for the job below? Replace bath tub with a shower enclosure, putting pipes to showerhead behind wall, re-titling damaged/removed tiles Also any idea of the costs involved for the labour as we will buy the items required?
    • Aria came round to fix my tub drain when I'd messed up the seal. Came within hours, fixed the tub, and ran a bath to make sure it was okay. Here's where the fun starts. While he was over, I asked him questions about the rest of the plumbing round the house. I had just moved into a Victorian home that was previously being rented. Unsurprisingly, we found another leak in the tub and a drip in the kitchen tap.  He came back the next day to put a better pipe in my bathtub and replace the kitchen sink. Painstakingly figured out how to replace the hard-to-access kitchen sink without cutting through the wood panel with the help of his builder friend, Mark. Answered all my questions and clearly knew his stuff. All this right before Christmas holidays!
