Questions
Is it worth fixing a dripping tap?
Yes. A steady drip wastes a surprising amount of water over a year, adds to metered water bills and can stain sinks. A new washer or cartridge is usually a quick fix.
Repair or replace the tap?
If the tap body is sound, a new washer or cartridge is usually enough. Very old or corroded taps can be better replaced. See our tap replacement page.
