To repair a leaky bathroom faucet, follow these steps:
-
Turn Off Water Supply: Locate the shut-off valves under the sink and turn off the water supply to the faucet.
-
Disassemble the Faucet: Remove the handle and any decorative caps to access the cartridge or stem assembly inside the faucet.
-
Inspect Components: Check for worn-out washers, O-rings, or cartridges causing the leak. Replace any damaged parts with new ones compatible with your faucet model.
-
Clean Components: Use vinegar or a mild cleaning solution to remove mineral deposits and debris from the faucet components.
-
Reassemble the Faucet: Put the faucet parts back together in the reverse order of disassembly. Ensure everything is tightly secured.
-
Turn On Water Supply: Once reassembled, turn on the water supply and check for leaks. If leaks persist, double-check connections and consider seeking professional assistance.
-
Regular Maintenance: Periodically check and maintain your faucet to prevent future leaks and ensure its longevity.
