Turn off your mains water supplying the cold water tank in the loft then open both cold and hot water taps at the bath this will drain the loft tank and should stop the valve dripping for to much longer when drained turn your taps off Upon your return home from holiday you will need a plumber to exchange the faulty valve for you
