A faucet that won't fully shut off is almost always a worn washer, O-ring, or valve seat — parts, not plumbing. It's a small job for a licensed plumber, and it's the kind of small job that's worth doing before the constant drip finishes wearing out the fixture itself.
The water bill is the visible cost; the fixture damage is the one that sneaks up on you if it sits too long.
