This page is about the repair most households put off the longest: the faucet that drips overnight. It is cheap to ignore for a month and annoying to ignore for a year.
What should I check before calling about a leaking faucet?
Work out where the water shows up, because the answer points at the part. Water at the spout tip usually means a worn internal cartridge or seat. Water pooling around the base points at a seal. Water in the cabinet below may be the supply line or the shutoff valve rather than the faucet at all.
- Single-lever or two-handle: say which when you call.
- Does the drip stop when you close the valves under the sink? If a valve will not turn, mention that too, because a seized valve changes the job.
- Take a photo of the fixture and any brand name stamped on it.
Is a dripping faucet worth repairing or should I replace it?
Repair is usually the better choice when the faucet is otherwise sound and only one part has worn. Replacement makes more sense when the finish is flaking, the body is corroded, or the same fixture has leaked before. Ask for both options in the quote so you can compare them.
When is the shop open?
The shop runs Mon–Sat 7:30 AM – 9:00 PM, Sun 9:00 AM – 6:00 PM. Call to book and tell them the street in Sansom Park.
Can I keep using a dripping faucet?
Yes, in most cases, as long as the water is only dripping at the spout. If it is spraying, or water is collecting in the cabinet, close the valves under the sink and call.
