How to fix a leaking faucet?


Question:I have a Supergrif bathroom faucet, the hot and cold water have separate taps. Now when I turn on the cold water tap, then water will come out of the hot water tap from the gap between the turning valve and the base. Can someone please tell me how to fix this type of leaking?

Answers:
Call a plumber my dear!
This will eliminate 'messups' that can occur from some DIY jobs.


The stuff that will fix this leak is packing string. It is a string like material that is wrapped around theses types of faucets and as they are tightened the packing puts pressure and steals around the stems of the faucets knobs. The knobs will become harder to turn because of the packing and pressure around the valve stem. And that should stop the leakings, if not try and replace the stems if at all possible.
