I had this happen tonight. The hot water didn't want to shut off. Tomorrow I head to the plumbing store. These how to videos are very important to us first time home owners. Keep them coming. Thank you.

I don't know who in the world could give "thumbs down" on this video. You were very concise, quick and informative. Thank you so much!!!!

Thanks for the video. Years of a small leak turning into a stream leak. The plumber came out to fix the elements on my hot water heater ($250 for labor). He noticed the streaming leak and said for another $250 he would return and fix the steam plus I'd need to buy a new bathtub faucet system or he'd buy and install. That's when I said to myself a few choice words that weren't French. On the night b4 my day off, I searched KZfaq for ways to fix a leaking bathroom tub system. There you were, so thanks. Now I've got to find out about septic systems. Thank you again for the ease and explanation of the video.

My 89 year old mom's bathtub faucet has been leaking pretty steadily recently. Not being a plumber I told myself, "What's the use. I'm no handyman." I watched your video, picked up new hardware at the store and a half hour later, the leak has stopped! Thank you for being such a great teacher!

Thank you so much. I'm a 65 years old lady living in an old house. I didn't have much knowledge on home repair. I just started to educate myself to deal with all things that falls apart in my house. You not only provided me with great knowledge to deal with faucet leak, you also helped to build my confidence to meet the daily challenge.

So the first thing you should do is stuff a washrag in the drain hole, as you WILL drop stuff and guess where it goes?

You , my dear, are a God-send. I am a widow with not enough money for a plumber . Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The only problem I'm trying to figure out is where to shut off the water. I live in an apartment so I have to shut off the building's water. I live in a 10 unit apartment building so I have to work fast to not annoy the neighbors with no water. I had my landlord send someone but that person did nothing he even admitted he didn't know what he was doing so now I want to do the work myself.

Awesome tutorial. No gimmicks, no silly music playing in the background, no frills, no b.s.. Just an excellent no nonsense "how to" on how to fix a leaky shower faucet. Excellent work. My compliments.

omg i just used this to fix my faucet and im SOOOOOO proud of myself!!! it worked like a charm!!! THANK YOU so much for this easy video!

Thank you SO MUCH! We've been renting a house the past 5 years. Once a year, our tub faucet starts dripping, and within 2 weeks it is a bad stream. You wouldn't believe how much water comes out. We'd let our landlord know, and she'd send out her preferred plumbing company. The first year, they told us it was because we were squeezing too tight on the faucet. I said "Oh okay, we won't do that anymore." The second year they came out, they said the same thing. And kind of treated me like I was dumb for letting it happen again. They showed me the washer, how worn out it had been. I was surprised because, even though this is my kids' bathroom so I don't always know how tight it's being turned, it didn't really make sense that in one year it got worn out. The third year, they really started talking down to me. I live in a lower income neighborhood, so I'm not sure if they think people in my neighborhood are stupid or what, but he spoke to me like I was unable to comprehend what he was saying. I promised we'd only turn the knob lightly.

Why would people give this video a thumbs down? My guess is its angry plumbers butt hurt because this gentleman made a great video to save homeowners money. Well done and thank-you.

This video is so informative, it felt like 2 weeks worth of trade school knowledge ... all in 10 minutes! Thank you man

Thank you for the video!

What a gem you are for sharing this tutorial. I've been waiting 4 months for my landlord to come fix my leaky faucet, but looks like I can give it a try myself now. Thank you!!

Estimate to fix this problem is $200-300. Thank you for the refresher. My Father showed me this years ago, but I needed to see this to remember before I tackled the job. About to save money in a variety of ways! No plumber saves $300. No need for a new water heater YET. Saves $1100. No more water damage. Water bill saved. Winning all around! Thanks

One of the best videos on how to do this! Thank you! I replaced my valves and seats this morning ... about 45 minutes and I was done. Total cost ... $52 and no problems and no leaks. I was very happy! (I just used a dab of plumbers grease around the new seats to aid installation). Honestly, just for peace of mind, for about $12 for the removal tool and two new seats, it makes sense just to replace the seats while you have those valves out. Also, you may pay a little more, but going to a faucet supply store is well worth it ... you take in the old parts and the guys are very knowledgeable in making sure you have the right replacements. Advice at Home Depot, etc. can be hit or miss, depending on who you ask.

thank you, straight to the point and no corny wanna be comedian jokes, best how to video I've seen, liked and subscribed

you sir, just saved me $80; what a gentleman and a scholar!

I did it! Leak free now at my rental property. Thank you so much!!
