If you have a pipe that leaks, the annoying thing is that it does not drip in one place. It drips along the pipe and you need about 3 or 4 pans to catch the drips.
If you cannot repair it, the plumber is going to come tomorrow but you need water, try this.
Get a towel or small cloth and wrap it round the source of the leak, create a small tail with last bit of the cloth, and put that tail in your pan or under the pan. What happen is the cloth saturates, and gravity allows the excess water to drip down the tail, and then it empties into the pan.
Just keep a check on the pan and empty it when needed.
If you do not need water turn off the supply by closing the stopcock, or if you are lucky close the isolating valve.
Use plastic sheeting under the pan and surrounding area if you can, shopping bags can be used just to protect the area.
