To fix a tap that is leaking and dripping from the spout, start by shutting off the hot and cold water supply valves underneath the sink. Remove the handle set-screw using an Allen wrench, lift off the handle, and unscrew the retaining nut to access the internal ceramic cartridge or rubber washers. Pull out the worn component, install an exact-matching replacement part, reassemble the handle, and turn the water back on.
