The bathtub water spout (faucet neck) has spun 360 degrees for as long as I can remember - Is this intentional / normal or has something been messed up all along? I used the tub a week ago and the faucet started dripping. I left it alone for a few days and it never stopped.
A leaky bathtub faucet wastes water and increases your water bill. Learn how to fix a leaky bathtub faucet with this step.
I'm looking for some help with my bathtub faucets seen in the photos. I've got a decent amount of homeowner experience fixing plumbing issues (pretty much all things that you can do to a toilet, replaced a few sinks, etc) but am by no means a plumber. The house was built in 2001 and these faucets have leaked on and off pretty much since I moved in back in 2016. Been thinking about replacing.
The shower should not be effected that badly by a spout leaking unless it isn't sealing at all. Remove the shower head from the hose. It most likely has a flow restrictor indicated by a small o-ring inside the back of the shower head. I usually just pull those out for better flow. Small bits of debris clog the restrictor easily, reducing flow.
Tub Faucet Leaking Back Into Wall : R/Plumbing
Hello. I have an old house. I have 3 faucets in my bathtub. Hot, cold and a faucet to change where the water comes from (shower or tub). When I turn the water off in my tub, the water doesn't shut off. I replaced all 3 faucets. Changed the stems, the washers and the seeds. I did not change the bathtub spout. Would a faulty or warn out spout be the cause for the leak? The leak was improved.

Leaking Bathtub Faucet : R/Plumbing
The faucet in my bathtub would not turn off all the way after using it a few days ago. It's an American Standard three stem faucet (I think those are the right terms, still new to this home owner thing!). I tried removing the handles and putting some plumbers tape on the stem to tighten the seal, but it didn't make any difference. I've tried searching online for answers, but am truly lost on.

Hey, that sounds frustrating! If turning off the water didn't stop the faucet from leaking, it might need a new washer or even a replacement. You might want to consider getting a plumber to take a look. I had a similar issue when I recently renovated my bathroom. I found a great plumber through this comparison site. It made the process a lot easier and helped me find an affordable professional.
My bathroom faucet has been dripping nonstop. It's an older faucet with a single handle. I've already tightened the handle as much as I can, but it still leaks. Any tips on what the likely cause could be and how to fix it? Thanks in advance! 2 comments share save hide report all 2 comments sorted by: best top new controversial old q&a.
