Hi
My tap in the bathroom sink has just started leaking around the bottom of the tap. I have felt the pipes leading to the tap and they seem to be dry. The tap itself appears to move, not wobbly but I didn't think it would move.
Any ideas?
Your help is greatly appreciated.

With the Tap appearing to Move .
It Could be Underneath the Sink
That The Compressing nut
on the Incoming Pipework is Loose .
Hence will need Tightening up .
On Older type taps
You screw off the Cover to the assembly of the Nut Holding down the Fibre Washer
It's possible the fibre washer has perished and Needs Replacing
To stop the leak
