It's important to make sure you buy new dripping tap washers or any relevant tap at the same time, but otherwise, it's straightforward enough to complete without any DIY experience.\r\rThe only complications are usually related to the type of tap washer you're using.\r\rFirst off, make sure the water supply is turned off at the mains. There should be an access panel under the sink that will allow you to locate and shut down the stopcock by turning its handle anti-clockwise.\r\rIf you find it difficult to turn, it's best to call a licensed plumber and let them sort it out.\r\rNow take off the tap handle by using a screwdriver or Allen key. If you have trouble lifting tap handles off, try adding some WD-40 or similar lubricant to help free things up first. Most tap handles can be removed with relative ease after applying a little elbow grease, but don't force the issue if nothing happens - you may damage your taps. Once loose, carefully pull the tap stem from the spout. This isn't always as easy as it sounds, because there may not be enough room for you to get a solid grip with a pair of pliers.

You should be able to do this gently by hand if not with a tool. If there are rubber washers attached to either side of your tap, remove them and keep them for later - they might need replacing. The body of your tap will now be free, but it's held in place by either a large nut or some other closure mechanism. You'll need an adjustable spanner, socket set or wrench to undo these (start with the biggest size first). Once that's done, pull off any remaining rubber washers (if present) and drop them into your sink basin before lifting out each half of your tap.\r\rNow you'll be able to replace the washers, reassemble everything and give it a test run.

Calling them out is always recommended if you've got problems with water pressure or water heating because they'll be able to accurately diagnose the problem. It's not necessary to call a licensed plumber every time you experience water flowing from a pipe or a leak though - there are often simple DIY solutions that work well enough to make some personal plumbing work happen successfully at some point, even if they take more time than calling an expert out. \r\rBut toilets, drains and kitchen sinks or any type of leak are best left to experts to deal with and fix leaks and do the plumbing work to keep the water bills and the water meter in your house down. There are various codes and standards professionals follow and the Queensland Government has an extensive outline for plumbing work but you will need to check your appropriate state body.","bulletData":null,"numberedListData":null,"columnData":null,"imageCaption_1":null,"imageCaption_2":null,"imageURL_1":null,"imageURL_2":null,"numberOfImages":null,"numberOfColumns":null}]}}],"categories":null},"localsearchCMSArticles({\"categoryName\":\"plumbers\",\"size\":5})":{"__typename":"ArticleConnection","results":[{"__typename":"ArticleEdge","article":{"__typename":"Article","articleId":"F2CDA12B-B9C0-4143-BD5A-09DA248EBD54","articleTitle":"How Long Do SharkBite Fittings Last?
