How do you stop a bathtub faucet from leaking?


Question:I know the obvious answer is to trun the faucet handles and turn the water off, but it still seems to leak via small drips even after I turn the handles really tight. I had the same problem with my sink and I had to turn off the cold water from underneath the sink completely.

Answers:
You must shut of the supply water to the faucet , then take the faucet out. At the bottom there is a washer held in with a screw ,replace this.
They come in various sizes. You can buy a box of different washers for about $3.00. Pick the size that fits into the grove then but the screw back on snuggly.


Hello call a plumber that's why we have them in the world....

Only joking go to your nearest hardware store they'll give you the stuff that you need to stop the leaking.
