In this video David shows you how to fix a simple bath tub faucet leak. Fix it yourself, instead of calling the plumber! Please comment and rate! Let me know if it was helpful.

  • @mobonce - Glad to be of service to you. Thanks for your kind comments.

  • @reesecup888 - Thanks for the question. Does the water "running from the faucet part" come out the tub spout or out the faucet itself? Maybe all you need is to do what I showed on the video. However, you may have to rebuild or replace the valve seat & valve stem to solve the problem. If you replace the valve stem, make sure you buy a 'diverter valve stem', not a hot or cold water stem. Also, if you rebuild or replace, be sure to replace the valve seat, too. Hope this helps.

  • Hi I have a problem with my bathtub water and the sink.. i replaced a valve.. and now the water only flowing to the bathtub and not to the sink anymore can anyone help me please.

  • @zero00tolerance Do you mean shower head and not "the sink"? If so, then the valve you replaced for the tub may not be meant for the "diverter" position - the middle handle location which controls water going/not going up to the shower head. A hot water or cold water valve will not work in the "diverter" position, only a "diverter" valve will work in the "diverter" position. If I'm not understanding your problem right, please clarify so I can help. Thanks and sorry to be so slow to reply.

  • @ratulloch1 & docbrown119 - Thanks! I'm glad it was helpful to you.

  • @vietsoft3k - Okay. I'll take that into consideration if we do another video of the sort. Thanks for the tip!

see all
