How do I fix my kitchen tap?

How do I fix my kitchen tap? The top of it keeps popping off when the water is turned on.

Re: How do I fix my kitchen tap?

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @anitac. It's sensational to have you join us, and many thanks for your question about repairing a tap.

It sounds like a grubscrew is either missing or needs to be tightened. Grubscrews are used to pin parts together on taps. Check the seam between the tap body and the spout that pops off. There should be a tiny little hole that allows access for an allen key. You might even be able to see it in your image, which I've marked below. Tighten or replace this grubscrew.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
