The most obvious step to fixing a leaky faucet is to turn off the water supply to the sink. That being said, another "first step" would be to know exactly what type of faucet is to be repaired.

∙ 9y agoIf the leak is from the faucet were the water normally comes from then its the tap value washer that has broken down. There are 2 options here , rempve the tap handle and also the valve and replace the washer or in some you have to replace the entire valve. Just remember to turn off the water supply to that unit first.
If water is leaking from beneath the facuet (under the sink sink unit) then there is a strong change that the nut that connects the faucet to the water supply has loosened. Tighten this. However, take time doing it as tey are ALWAYS in difficult to reach places. A tap spanner may be needed. Do not over tighten as doing so can strip the threads of the nut or the joint as a whole

Before doing this, you'll probably want to apply plumber's tape or joint compound on the threads of the faucet stems and also apply caulk.
