How to fix dripping toilet cistern tap?

Hi there, 

My toilet was taking a long time to refill after flushing, when I was trouble shooting I turned the cistern tap off. When I turned it back on it started dripping. It feels kind of loose? 

Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you 😊

Re: Cistern tap on toilet is dripping

Hi @Loretta86,

 

Thank you for your question and welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community, it is fantastic to have you join us.

 

Is it possible to get some photos of the tap with an indication of where the leak is coming from?

 

Seeing the style of tap and the location of the drip will help us narrow down a possible fix.

 

It's possible that you may just need to tighten one of the connections using a set of Multigrip Pliers or add some Thread Seal Tape to the thread.

 

It's hard to know for sure without seeing the tap.

 

Let me know if you need a hand uploading images, I'm more than happy to help.

 

Jacob
