A dripping tap is not just annoying — it wastes water and money.

Shut off the main water valve first.

Remove the tap handle and inspect the rubber washer; it is usually the culprit.

Replace the worn washer with a matching one.

Reassemble and open the valve carefully.

If the leak persists, you may need a new cartridge — book a plumber via Aman-Fix.
