How We Fix A Leaky Bathtub Faucet

First, we try to identify the type of bathtub faucet. If your bathtub faucet is leaking around the handle, then it's most likely a bathtub faucet with a ball and seat, and it needs tightening. When your bathtub faucet handle is leaking, it's usually fixed by cleaning the aerator, replacing the O-ring, and packing with Plumbers Putty. You may also need to replace the gasket and adjust the hot/cold water settings so they match each other.

All The Parts Of A Bathtub Faucet

To fix a leaky bathtub faucet or repair a bathtub faucet, one must first understand each part's functionality. The tub faucet uses a faucet stem inside a stem cartridge to attach the base to the tub, and the handle then covers the tub faucet stem. Inside the faucet spout where the water comes out are the aerator and the aerator wrench. Below the bathtub faucet are the washer, compression couplings, and mounting nut attached to the water supply. A bathtub faucet is more complicated than its name implies.

Leaking Bathtub Faucet Repairs Depend On The Type Of Faucet

If you have bathtub faucets with cartridges, the handles tend to leak at the spout. The problem is either the cartridge or the O-ring.

Bathtub faucets with metal handles can leak at either end. Metal faucets rust easily, so you need to treat them regularly. A brass faucet will generally last the longest and doesn't require too much maintenance.

Finally, a chrome-style bathtub faucet, for the most part, is made of zinc. These faucets are usually the cheapest and will are prone to corrosion. When performing our bathtub faucet repair service, we tend to see the chrome faucets more than any other faucet.

Some bathtub faucets have a ball with O-rings rather than cartridges; these types of bathtub faucets are more challenging to repair. Bathtub Faucet handles will leak at the Bathroom sink spout if they have O-rings that need replacing or an aerator that needs cleaning. Bathtub faucet handles with a loose packing nut leak very quickly. So be sure to tighten them about twice a year.
