Sink ? Shower? We need a bit more info. One problem I have seen with older showers is leaky valves. The older 3 valve rig ( hot cold divert) use a valve gasket on the end of the valve stem. This gasket gets "pressed up" against the valve "seat" to stop the water flow. Over time this gasket get deformed or torn and it will cause a drip or dribble leak. It not repaired in a timely manner the gasket can get so damaged and to fall apart and then damage to the valve seat can occur.

Fortunately this repair is not too tough. You can get a "kit" that has new valve stems, knobs, and seats. This whole kit runs about 50 -60 bucks and is a better deal than buying each part separately.
If your knobs and valve stems are still in good shape you can just replace the gaskets...which only cost a couple bucks.
I agree with Plumber26. There are many affordable faucets that will last years and save you headaches. I like Moen and haven't had one yet that's let me down. Let us know your thoughts.
