One of the most important skills that will transform you from a do-it-yourself novice to a true expert is knowing how to change the washer in a tap. Fortunately, it takes very little time and equipment—typically only a few minutes—and very little effort. It only takes 7 simple steps to complete. 

How to Change Washers in Taps?

  • Unless you want your kitchen or bathroom to flood, turn off the water supply as soon as possible. Turning off the boiler and immersion heater is also necessary when replacing the tap washer on a hot water tap. 

  • The plug should then be inserted into the sink's plug hole. If you drop any screws or tap components, this will stop them from going down the drain. Additionally, it's a good idea to place your old towel underneath the sink to protect the surface in case you drop something.

  • Take off the tap's cover using a screwdriver. After the valve is exposed, it can be removed with a spanner.

  • Beneath the valve, the tap washer is fastened in position using a nut or screw. Use a spanner to remove the tap washer, or try penetrating the oil surrounding it and letting it soak in before attempting to undo it.

  • Get a replacement tap washer in the same size to replace the worn-out, old one.

  • Assemble the tap once more. Take care not to overtighten the valve as this could break the tap when you screw it back in. Put the tap's top back on.

  • Pull out the plug, remove the towel from your washbasin, and turn the water back on. 

This is how to change a tap washer. I hope this helps!
