Water is leaking from the handle rather than the spout. Is that different?
Yes. A leak at the handle or the base usually points to the O-rings or the tap body, rather than the washer that causes a dripping spout.

Taps are cheap to fix and expensive to ignore. MLC Plumbing repairs the wearing parts where the fixture is sound, and says plainly when the tapware itself has had enough rather than charging you twice for the same drip.
Piara Waters has many newer estates where plumbing issues often show up in high-use bathrooms, kitchens and laundries. Small fixture faults can waste water or disrupt the household if they are left too long. Locally that means newer homes often need practical diagnosis of fixture faults, appliance connections and drainage symptoms.
If you would like the longer version first, there is more on how we approach leaking taps — the usual causes, the fix, and what we check before we leave.
