Plumbing services can be expensive, and with the recession we are going through, the only real way to address that issue is by means of doing the plumbing jobs yourself. Nonetheless the question is: should you handle it on your own or call in the plumbers?
If you choose to mend a leaking tap yourself, start by turning off the water either at the shut off valve under the sink, or at the water mains for your house. Typically you will find another tap along the pipes under the sink in question which can often be used to shut off the water flow. You'll often turn the tap clockwise to shut off the water.
Next, open the taps in the sink to get rid of any remaining water, so as to avoid too much mess. Now look for the screw that holds the tap?s handle prepared. This can be seen behind a little plate in the centre of the tap handle which can only ever be removed with the usage of a suitable screwdriver. Next, you need to take off the handles; your screwdriver again will do the job. With a touch of effort, remove the screw cover from the handle to display the screw.
Once you have punctiliously removed the handle screw, be careful to not lose the spring that?s behind the screw, you can now see the old washer. Take the old washer out and substitute it with a newer one. Put back spring and any washers that you removed and then softly re-tighten the handle; it should just be hand tight (meaning that no extra force should be exerted when tightening).
Next turn on the under sink taps, and then slowly turn on the tap to check for any new leaks. If you continue to have a leaking tap, you may need to hire a licenced plumber who will replace the washers and check all is in working order. Remember that in many areas it may be a legal requirement for an approved plumber only to mend a damaged tap, regardless of if it is something as straightforward as an old washer.
