Leaky tap - Anyone got any ideas?

I thought I'd try the oracle of NSC first. There must be at least one plumber on here.

Try telboy on here

As alluded to here, it's likely to be the Gland nut letting by.

Remove head, and nip up the hex nut by 1/4 turn. Job done.

Don't think I'd take advice on leaks from someone called "titanic"

Nice one.

Not quite sure if you're trying to be funny or correcting me..?!

If the latter, then you're wrong. No need for water to be turned off..anywhere in fact.

Easiest thing to do is replace the tap. Once the start leaking from the body you can spend ages on it only to find it starts leaking again a few days later. Cheap bath taps are about £15 / pair.
