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.

    • Are they hanging around in "tree gangs" now, intimidatimg passers-by threatening to "needle" them or asking for support as they served the country before being callously abandoned after they weren't needed any more?  You can help by  going to http://veterantrees.co.uk/ and donating your old tinsel and out of date chocolate coins 🤣
    • Fox Angels also come very quickly. They have local volunteers. You have to message via their Facebook page or they might not see it for some time. There is a link on their website to the Facebook page. Unfortunately there are other similar sounding Facebook  pages where people are posting directly on the page about foxes in trouble and apparently getting no reply, which is very sad. Surely whoever set the pages up isn't deliberately trolling?  This is a screenshot of the Facebook page you should use to message them. Hope you find help from here or one of the other places posted above.
