It could be a simple thing as the seat or the stem! ButtyCutz First cut off the water under ur sink... Registered User 2...open the faucet to relieve the pressure Joined: Friday, 7th of May 2010, 00:12:04 3...remove the handle (there is a screw on top, probably under a cap or Posts: 1509 cover Viewed 2037 times 4...remove the stem this is what the screw was in, it is replaceable &
could be the problem.
5...with ur seat wrench (you can get this at any hardware store) insert it
into the faucet & turn it counter clockwise to remove the seat. If the
seat is not smooth around the rim next to the stem you will need to
replace it. this is about $1.00 to $1.50
6..Reassemble the faucet & turn on the water
The time repairing the faucet is less than drinking a cup of coffee.

There should be another handle right below the sink. Thats the atchi & sitchi valve that controls the water pressure. You will probably have to use that Registered User until you call a plumber. Joined: Thursday, 27th of May 2010, 03:35:25 Posts: 267 Viewed 5771 times

Hi Cute, MiLKy The two persons before me have already answered your question, but just in Registered User case there is no valve under the sink which is pretty unlikely, you can Joined: Wednesday, 9th of June 2010, 09:41:58 still shut off the main supply from the city at the meter. In some country Posts: 527 it is mandatory for the water to kitchen sink to be directly from the mains Viewed 12897 times without going into the reservoir.
Hope this answer helps
