A dripping tap does not always need replacing. The condition of the tap, available parts and likely repair cost all matter. For a simple leaking, loose or worn tap, you should be able to get clear advice without turning it into a major plumbing call-out.
Worn cartridges, loose fittings or another straightforward fault can sometimes be dealt with without changing the whole tap.
Older, corroded, unstable or repeatedly troublesome taps are often better replaced than continually repaired.
