How to fix a leaking bathroom faucet step-by-step
1. Preparation: Turn off the water supply valves under the sink. Turn on the faucet to drain any remaining water, and plug the drain with a rag to avoid losing small parts.
2. Disassemble the Handle: Use a flathead screwdriver to pry off any decorative caps. Loosen the screw underneath (using a screwdriver or Allen wrench) and pull the handle off.
3. Remove the Internals: Use an adjustable wrench to unscrew the packing nut or retaining clip. Carefully pull out the stem (in compression faucets) or the cartridge (in modern faucets).
4. Inspect and Replace:
-
-
-
Compression Faucets: Replace the small rubber washer at the bottom of the stem and the O-ring.
-
Cartridge Faucets: It is usually best to replace the entire cartridge with an identical model from a hardware store.
-
Reassemble and Test: Apply a thin layer of plumber’s grease to new O-rings. Put the parts back in reverse order, turn the water back on slowly, and check for leaks.

frequently asked questions
Are you struggling with slow-clearing drains or recurring bathroom leaks?
We address these frustrations by conducting a comprehensive inspection of your sub-floor drainage infrastructure. Specifically, our craftsmen replace outdated, corroded pipes with high-density polyethylene solutions for superior flow. By upgrading your core plumbing, we eliminate the risk of structural damp and ensure long-term peace of mind for your home.
How do you handle water pressure issues in high-rise Umhlanga apartments?
First, our technical team evaluates the static pressure entering your unit to identify specific flow bottlenecks. We then install specialized pressure-reducing valves or booster systems to maintain a consistent, luxury showering experience. Such precision engineering prevents damage to your high-end fixtures while delivering the invigorating water force you expect.
How do you prevent mold and damp in humid coastal bathrooms?
Primarily, we apply a multi-layered, cementitious waterproofing membrane to all “wet zones” before a single tile is laid. Moreover, our craftsmen focus on critical junctions where walls meet floors, as these are common failure points. This rigorous technical process creates an impenetrable barrier that protects your home’s structure.
