A dripping tub spout drives anyone crazy. It wastes water and runs up your utility bill every month. Fortunately, learning how to fix a leaky bathtub faucet is easier than you think. You do not need to pay an expensive plumber to solve this problem.
Most tub leaks happen because of worn parts inside the faucet valve. Over time, rubber washers, O-rings, and seals crack from daily use. Water then slips past these damaged seals and drips into your tub basin.
In this video, you will learn two simple ways to tackle the job. The first option shows you how to replace small wear items like rubber seats and springs. This quick fix costs very little money. The second option walks you through replacing the entire cartridge or valve stem for a complete fix.
Before you start, shut off the water supply to the bathroom. Turn on the faucet to drain any remaining water from the lines. Gather basic hand tools like a screwdriver, adjustable wrench, and pliers. Follow along with the video to pull the handle, swap the bad parts, and restore a tight seal today.
