How to fix water drops from taps?

Hi Folks, 

I am having shower tap leakage.

I had the washer replaced long time ago. 

 

Do you think replacing the whole spindle could fix the problem ?

Re: Fixing water drops from taps

Hello @Sugar 

 

It could be time to replace the washer again. I suggest looking at this guide - How to replace a tap washer. If after replacing the tap washer and the tap continues to leak, I suggest engaging the services of a licensed plumber to repair your leaking tap.

 

If you need further assistance, please let us know.

Re: Fixing water drops from taps

Thanks @EricL 

I got it sorted out this time by replacing some internal parts. I am putting new washers or taps later in the future. Hence, for now, I wanted to work it out. I used Lubricant as well. 

 

Changed them  on both sides :

Changed this too:

seems like it is fixed for now. 

Water leakage has stopped.
