Dripping bath tap- fully tiled in bath

I wouldn't even bother mentioning it or offering any money off as that makes it all look a bit more suspicious. A new owner may want to rip the whole thing out anyway. Just let them do their own survey and answer any questions honestly. I wouldn't be too quick in coming forward.

As above.
People viewing will be looking at all kind of things and are unlikely to even notice a dripping tap, or worry about it if they do.

Post a photo, Fogle? It might be easy to fix the tap in situ.

But, how much to knock off? Nothing! Does anyone really view a house, clock a dripping tap, and think "We must knock a £enner off for that!"? Surely not.

In fact, I suspect most folk, on seeing a dripping tap, would just think "Must get a plumber to sort that...", and consider it a very minor issue.

If you have tiles falling off your roof, that's different...

I'd wonder why the vendor hadn't got a plumber to sort it... So simple (theoretically) so why is it not fixed??

The answer - fixing it requires ripping out the bathroom, at a cost of £10k (ballpark)

Any isolator anywhere? If so just use the isolator as a second tap in the meantime.

No i presume the valves are tiled in under the bath unfortunately.
