If a dripping tap cannot be stopped with a new washer it probably needs
reseating. There is a special reseating tool for this job. Sometimes water
finds its way behind the washer wearing a groove in the jumper this groove can
be removed with a flat file.
Newer taps will jamb altogether if the washer becomes flat and the inner
jumper that carries the washer runs out of thread. In this case the tap will
need to be dismantled, rewashered and reassembled insuring that the retaining
circlip is in place at the top of the spindle (see diagram).
