Re: Leaking faucet

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @carito. It's brilliant to have you join us, and many thanks for your question about fixing a leaking tape.

You need to replace two different washers in your tap: the tap valve, which stops water flowing out of the spout, and one of the sealing washers in the tap spindle, which is causing the leak out of the tap body. One of these FIX-A-TAP Nylon Tap Valve Repair Kits includes all the washers you need. Here's a helpful step-by-step guide on How to replace a tap washer. It will show you how to disassemble the tap and remove and replace the washers.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
