That depends on the leak. There are many different kinds of Plumbing leaks and many ways to fix them. Be a little more specific. For example, a leak around the handle of an old style faucet may require only packing. An old style faucet that won't turn off may get by with only a new faucet washer, but if it's been leaking a while the "seat" may be eroded and it may need to be reamed. New style faucets use replacable cartriges. Copper or plastic pipes can be punctured by a nail or other sharp object and may leak. P-traps may have rusted through and need to be replaced. The gasket of a p-trap may have failed and needs to be replaced. I'm sure I've forgotten some types of leaks, so let's talk about specifics.

If it is not on a joint, replace the affected pipe. small leaks can be stopped with the help of jublie clips. you can put a asbestos lining underneath jublie clip for good result.
IN ADDITION: Please take note that asbestos is considered a health hazard worldwide and should be avoided. Re-soldering a joint is an option but not a permanent solution. rather cut out the affected joint and replace it with a new one.
