stecoward101 Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 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. ste Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/300341-my-tap-is-dripping/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

malumbu Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 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.https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-d&q=my+tap+is+drippingThere 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 Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/300341-my-tap-is-dripping/#findComment-1555982 Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandyman Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 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.

lindylou Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 I don't know your age, but I find it disgusting that you can't change a washer in your tap.
