Hi,

My mixer tap in my kitchen is now leaking really badly, it is only coming from the hot tap, the cold tap is fine. Any ideas on how to fix this ? I've no idea where to start !!! icon_confused.gif

Could be leaking from anywhere really...even under sink..
Do you mean it is dripping from the spout?
If so is it a 1/4 turn tap (ceramic disc)
Or is it a turn lots of rotations (tap washer and probable reseat)
