How to replace tap washers

To re-washer a tap, you will have to turn off the water first. You can read all about that here. Once you've turned the water off, open the tap and let the remaining water drain out.

1. Using a screwdriver, remove the handle of the tap.
2. Using a spanner, open the tap body.
3. Renew the washer or turn it around.
4. Then tighten the two parts of the tap body again and refit the handle.
