Fix Leaking Shower Head or Bathtub Faucet | Rebuild & Replace Shower Valve

Leaking or dripping bathtub faucet or shower head? If your shower head or bathtub faucet is leaking or dripping, the shower valve needs to be replaced or needs new seals. You don't have to replace the shower valve or shower diverter valve because it's easy to rebuild shower stem valves to stop the leak in your bathtub or shower. If the bathtub faucet or shower head leaks when the water is off, the valve stem washer needs to be replaced. If the bathtub faucet or shower head leaks when the water is on, the packing nut needs to be tightened or seal stem packing nut needs to be replaced.

If you'd like to donate:

I recommend you go to a plumbing supplier or hardware store to buy valve washers, stem packing seals and shoulder gaskets. Take your shower valve and diverter valve with you.

Subscribed. Probably the most detailed, informative plumbing tutorial I’ve seen in a long time. No music, no gimmicks… Just information that’s useful. You’re an excellent teacher.

This is one of the best instructional plumbing videos I've ever seen. You don't just give clear steps but also explain the reasons behind each one.

I am a tech repair guy looking for a detailed video on how to repair my mothers shower faucets. Best video on YT. Thank you

[begiddy]

I was already impressed by her and then she said 'I don't replace a valve stem I rebuild it'. Clapping and cheers for you!!

Well, this video saved me at least 700$ from calling out a plumber. My neighbor hired a plumber to fix this exact thing, and he paid 700$.

I was convinced I'd have to hire a plumber because I was too nervous about messing up my plumbing. This was so detailed and really speaks to folks like me who are not at all familiar with how to fix plumbing issue. Great pacing, very clear instructions, perfect level of detail. Really nice job!

Great job it’s been 30 years since I have repacked a stem and wanted a refresher course. Incredible instruction

[denisedale]

I have never come across a video of a person so patient, passionate, and VERY detailed...
I absolutely love it. New subscriber today 🥰🥰🥰

You explain plumbing so much better than 99.9% males I’ve watched or talked to. 🙏🏽

[gardenbun]

You are an AMAZING teacher. Explanations were clear, concise, and thorough and the video was very well executed so we could see what you're doing.

[JasonTolentino]

Jeez..how the F is this content free. Freaking thank This helped me so much

[juliapace]

Clear, concise - great video. Impressive. No BS. No taking forever to get to the point. No fussy excessive hand movements to show off the new manicure. You are now my goto person for fixing stuff. What a relief.

[ArcaneCosmo]

Just wanted to say thanks! I followed your instructions, swapped out the washer, and the leak stopped. I’m not a handy guy at all but was able to follow your instructions and get the job done. Big thanks again!!

I just watched this and was amazed on the absolute detail. very simple terms and on point!!! Amazing video and anyone who has a plumber do this will spend about 400 bucks

[davidius]

It's a lengthy video but extremly informative and through. You are exactly the type of Master Craftsman an Apprentice would be lucky to study under.

[angelapurinton]

Oh my goodness! Not only did this video fill in the gaps of my knowledge of the process, I now also understand why the previous repairs are only lasting a year. You are a great educator!

[russellrobert]

Excellent step-by-step video, my 10-year-old grandson could do the job after watching this! Thank you!

Hi. I'm sorry I missed your name but I wanted to say thank you. Just completed this project. Guess this old dog can be taught a new trick. I greatly appreciate you. A guy in San Diego.

[angelajohnson-filer]

Beautifully done! I'm the fix-it person in my home (hubby is the cook!), and I'm so happy I found your video. This is the exact repair I have to do right now. Thank you for such an awesome tutorial! ✌️👌

[phillippennant]

Thank you. I will recommend this video to everyone I know, because it is the best YouTube video I have ever watched. It does not request any likes or subscriptions, but I have given it willingly.
Thanks again! ❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊
