    Hi
    Near to the bottom of the tap spout water comes out occasionally..if I gently push the actual tap gently it will stop.id imagine it's perhaps a perished washer or something.
    Seeking advice on it.
    If I turn off the mains tap under this ...firstly ...to get this tap. Off so I unscrew the holding bolt under the sink from the press side first ....? I'm wondering then what way should I take off the copper connections to try pull tap out through to have a look at it ?
    Weary of water !! Reasonable diy

    Thks

    Don't try taking the tap out just yet.
    Can you post a picture of the tap, let's have a look at that first.
