If you have a leak in your bathroom, the first thing you should do is turn off the water supply to the fixture. Then, inspect the fixture for any signs of damage. If you see any cracks, chips, or loose connections, try tightening them. If that doesn’t work, you may need to replace the washer, O-ring, or valve seat. If the leak is coming from a pipe, you may need to repair or replace the pipe. If you’re not comfortable doing these repairs yourself, it’s best to call a plumber.
