Drip, drip, drip – that is the sound of a tap that has seen better days. If you have leaky taps it is advised that you get them fixed as soon as you can. A leaky tap wastes a lot of water and also mounts up on your gas and water bills. If you can, try to tighten the tap, this could save you from wasting water and having to spend money on new taps. However, if this does not work then you should consider replacing your tap. The majority of modern taps will be equipped with a ceramic disc. One disc is fixed in place whilst the other moves the tap lever. When both taps are aligned the tap stops running water.
