Depends on what type of faucets you have. Always shut off the water and don’t rely on the shut offs under the sink. They always fail when you need them. Let the water drain out at a low point. From here if you just need to replace the washers-just pop out the C or H or whatever and there should be a screw. Unscrew it and eventually you end up at the washer. you have to unscrew the assembly and the washer will be in the bottom attached with yet another screw. Run to Home Depot and buy exactly the same size and shape, pop it back in and reverse the above. It’s easy. Put Vaseline on anything that screws that is plumbing. That way they don’t freeze up and can be taken apart easily later. You could also have an o ring. And I just realized that a faucet I bought is not repairable and had to just throw the cheap thing away. Anyone at any home repair place can give you exact instructions. . .or should be able to and you should be able to look it all up on the internet.
It depends on what brand faucets they are. The better faucets have cartridges or discs. If they are two handle faucets you can google replacing washers or o-rings in whatever brand it is. When you find out what you need to do turn the water off from under the sink and take the part to home depot or lowes and they can help you with the part you need.
Moen is the faucet that most plumbers purchase for their homes.
Get the correct washers, Turn off the MAINS TAPS and get fiiting….Fred…I emphasise….TURN OFF THE MAINS TAPS.
go to the store a buy those cheep little rubber things, faucet washers and every fauset may be different. but every faucet should have a water supply with some sort of cut off under the counter. the faucet knob has a cap on top. it will come off with a little prying. and that should reveal some sort of screw to remove the guts of thre faucet where you will find one of those little rubber things. good luck
