In order to do home repair, one must know the cause of the damage. To fix a loose faucet, it needs to be examined to see if the caulk is old, if the bolts are lose, or if the gasket seals are worn. Once the cause it determined, a trip to the hardware store and a few tools should have everything in order.

The nut on the top, under the knob, could be too tight. Slightly loosening it may help as long as it does not create a leak. If this does not help then the faucet may need to be rebuilt or replaced.
