How to fix a dripping lever tap

If you find that your lever tap is leaking water, you may need to replace some parts. How you fix a dripping lever tap will depend on what the issue is and you may require help from a professional to carry out the task. If you have a leaky spout, it is likely that there are damaged parts on the inside of the lever basin tap and if you see that your lever tap is dripping from the base, you probably have damaged seals. Here is a rough guide to fixing  dripping lever basin taps:

Firstly, you will need to take apart your lever tap to examine any damage:

2. Turn the lever tap on to drain any remaining water from the system

3. Remove the lever tap’s aerator (you should be able to twist this off by hand but you can use pliers if it feels stuck/tight).

4. Keep the parts together so that you can make note of the replacements you need (or take them with you when shopping for new parts).
