Pedestal Sink Plumbing
How do I fix my faucet that won't stop running?
My bathroom faucet has been dripping even when turned off. However, I just turned it on and when I turned it into the off position the water just kept running. The only way to stop it was to turn off the shut off valve behind the sink. It is a small pedestal sick. Is this something simple that I can figure out - with no plumbing experience, or do I need to call a plumber? HELP!
I don't know if this matters - but it has separate handles for turning on hot and cold water. The hot water still turns on and off, but the cold water won't turn off. I have the shut off valve turned off and just turn it back on temporarily when I need to. Is it something inside the cold water handle? How do I know if I need to replace the whole fixture, or just a piece of it.
It's likely to be just the washer in the faucet. Just unscrew the top of the faucet taking care not to scratch the surface. You may need to remove the handle at the top so the top cover can be removed.
Inside, you will probably need a spanner to undo the part that screws in. You should be able to take out the washer and replace with one of a similar size.
Put everything back together in reverse order and you should have a working faucet.

Sink gurgling loudly?
I have a sink in my bedroom, and it's started gurgling loudly in the middle of the night, and then makes a sound like water's running (but it's not). I live in a shared flat, and there's 5 other rooms, I haven't had a chance to ask them whether theirs does it too.
It's my landlord's job to pay for any plumbing etc, but he's SO lazy, I was just wondering if there was anything I could do myself, given that I have fairly minimal DIY skills... but I can follow instructions well... it's the kind of sink with a pedestal, should i take the underneath bit off and see if the pipes are clogged? Or just hassle my landlord until it gets fixed?
If I go and run the tap for a second when it's gurgling, it stops for a while...
Sounds like a plugged vent pipe...The gurgling is caused by the air trying to get past the water. Definitely a landlord issue.
