Is this for of its dripping from the spigot on the tub?

Thank you and thank you. Plumber wanted to replace the entire faucet, knock a hole in the tiles on side of roman tub....for $2K. Thanks to your video In was able to replace the cartridge but also needed to replace the seat and spring. Thanks again.

Thank you. You are a genius. I'm so sick of all the videos that say remove the set screw and lift the handle off. I have in 30 or 40 years of owning a house never had the handle just lift off. I usually go through a gallon of WD-40. The important part of what you showed that finally did it for me is prying from two sides at once with two pry bars. It never worked with just one pry bar using two and wiggling. Your way up is what worked. Thank You thank you. Thank you.

Excellent! Straight to the point and easy to follow with nice clear images and narrative. No rambling BS for 30+ seconds at the beginning. Thank you!

Your video REALLY helped me. Thanks so much for being kind and generous enough to make a clear, detailed, and well lit video to help the rest of us that are struggling with these issues. Also, your explanations were not rushed and very easy to understand and follow. Man, you could teach a class in how to make these type of videos. Thanks again. God bless.

Thank you for the great video. I was cleaning our bathroom and noticed when I turned the hot water on it would trickle water out of the handle base. Thanks to your video I had it fixed very easily!

[tatersdomergue]

That's the exact same faucet I have to fix. Your video has helped your fellow man! I salute you!

Sir! I feel as if I owe you money! I was on the verge of stroking tf out! Thank you!

Hey everyone. Just a quick tip. You may not need to replace it at all. Mine is 20 years old and all I need to do is tighten it.
If it's used often it can get lose and thats all you need to do instead of replacing the whole thing.

Thank you so much! We are a family of limited means. I was able to fix my tub faucet for the simple price of the parts to do it.

Thank you thank you thank you so much for showing how the spring and gasket fit in there! The previous video I saw didn't even look down the stem!

[wakeisland]

You explained it very clearly and it was very helpful. Thank you Sir.

[ZachJ]

Thank you! Watched the video and was able to make the repair in less than 10 minutes!

My handle was stuck on as well.
Was very worried until I seen this video of how to take it off.

Thank you brother. Claw hammer rocking it did

Mine exploded and shot water up into the air. I ended up gutting it and switched to a kohler one that lasted me 13 years. And it just died yesterday lol. The delta one lasted six months. Can’t be too shocked the fact it’s made from a airline company

Thanks I have almost the same style faucet with the same problem, stuck handle. I tried first with no luck. Then asked a plumber, also no luck . Said I would have to replace everything including the valve assembly . Although they didn't even try prying it like this . See how it goes .
