A: tightne the effing thing
B: gum it up with silicone
C: GET A PLUMBER!!!!!!<<<<<<<<<
Purchase tap washers from Hardware/DIY store, (buy a DIY book while your there!) Switch off water supply to tap, switch on tap to drain water. When water stops comming out of the tap, put plug in sink (so you dont loose anything), lift off blue/red cap from tap, unscrew tap handle with screwdriver. Remove tap plunger from tap body with correct spanner, (dont use vice grip as you'll make a sh1t of it!). Pull off worn tap washer. Put on new tap washer - Washing up liquid will help the washer into position.

and as they always say :- refitment is the reverse of removal.

and - Terms and conditions apply!

Any problems - get a plumber!
