Thanks for making a DIY video that is too the point and doesn't talk about how your grandmother once saw a grey rock on a Thursday back in 1949 and then list your top 100 flavors of ice cream before actually showing how to do the repair.

I'm seriously about to cry. I have had so many plumbing issues with my new home, and this is the first thing I've felt confident enough to fix myself! Thank you so much for this video, you are a great teacher!

Thank you Matt, this drippy bathtub faucet is driving me crazy because I don't like wasting water.

Thank you for this video you make it very easy for single moms like me! God bless💮

Just so you know, if yours only has one handle for hot&cold I replaced mine and it was very easy! Even though there was only one handle there was still two separate holes and all you have to do is replace whichever side looks bad. Usually it's a bad seal (looks like a tiny rubber band). You should be able to physically see which one (or both) are bad. Just make sure you pay attention to how you took everything out and just put it all back the same! Other than that the process is about the same as this video. Hope this helps!

thank you. this is what youtube's supposed to be about

I do handyman work, and this video helped me out in a pinch. Great info, well described, and good camera shots. Thanks

Excellent! A couple wraps of plumbers tape on the threads won’t hurt anything if you are worried about leaks.

"Anybody can do this" Me, now more anxious since I still can't do this.

You just made my day because I’m single and plummber’s cost toooo much… you inspire me to do some projects myself. Thanks so much and GOD Bless you.

I've watched many, your video is so concise, easy to understand and most importantly to the point. No need to skip nonsense talk to get to the point. Thank you

This is very helpful and I appreciate the step by step instruction. My tub has an all in one knob so I will look for another video but this helped with the concept of what needs to be done. TY

Thank you so much for this. Simple and to the point,but you captured all the steps. Will be taking care of mine this week.

Fyi to anyone that the leak came back, it could be the seat that's easy to fix as well. Just for anyone so might be worth to check the seat as well.

Dude! You just gave the BEST KZfaq help video I ever watched. Thank You!

Trying this tomorrow. I did call a plumber, who can't come for a week. Thanks!

Ty ...this helped me fix my leak! For super novices like me...good to know if handle doesn't pop off easy like in video.. ..run and get a handle puller from lowes

Matt, you are a great instructor! Thank you!

I appreciate this more than you know. Thank you. All the other articles or videos were definitely unhelpful.

Great video matt. I always wondered how that was done and never realized it was that easy. As a homeowner, I'm sure this bit of knowledge will come in handy in the future. You're $19 will save you a ton on your water utility bill!

You are amazing! Have to do this for my Grandma today! Thank you

Just followed this video as my faucet was no longer just a drip when off, it had turned into a steady trickle. I'm not very "handy" per say, but this helped me get it fixed for about $25 in parts opposed to a couple hundred for a plumber. Thank you!

Very nice instructional video Matt. Very well done. Thanks.

Thank you straight to the point and done!

Dont forget to scrub your shower area after you're done...

Any way to tell what cartridge you need short of pulling one of them out of the wall first? I just moved into a new house and the cold side is dripping steadily only from the tub spout. No leaks above or below, otherwise. I haven't located my water cutoff yet. I was hoping to match the stem cartridge without opening up, but I guess I'll have to. I have a two faucet shower system, with spout and lower chrome bath/shower lever plate. No middle faucet diverter. Can I pull it without turning the water off? I also was told sometimes there's a back seat piece and seal or O-Ring that has to be replaced at the back of the stem, but not all of them have that. If you replace both and still get leaks, it's likely a problem in the piping in the walls, and may require access from outside the shower wall, or behind it, which is a much bigger job and I'd call a plumber if so.

Hot water leak - shutoff at the water heater vs main valve... Good idea - Thanks. I subscribed.

Thanks for sharing this Matt!

This video saved me $$ thank you!! A life saver!

Hey Matt what about the center piece that shuts the water on and off? Is that the same process should it be replaced?

Great job putting this together! This helped me a lot! Thank you!!

Very helpful. Thank you!

Thanks for sharing Matt, great job.. Hope you and your family are doing well.. Watching and Supporting with Full View Like 2

Thanks for sharing. This video really helped me.

Great video it helps to get fixed myself thanks a lot

Thanks Matt. I thought this was going to be so much more complicated. And I was really dreading having to go down into my black widow infested crawl space to turn off the water.

Good job mate! 👍🏻🇺🇸🇬🇧

Thanks for the video, it looks easy enough for me to do!

thank you for the video. just fixed my leaking tub.

That tub could use some cleaning.

Wow what a handy person you are Matt............

Great video, keep them coming

I really liked your way of doing your video

Thank you. This helped me so much

Thank you for doing this - it helped so much!

Thank you so much! I am going to give this a try!

Thank you for sharing this! 🎉

Thanx fella! Much appreciated 👍

Good job. I'm try to do this to my hot water handle . Thank you

Thanks for the video. Of course the screw is stripped on mine!

Hi Matt, I have a single handle shower faucet and like your video shows, the dripping is coming from the bottom. I have changed the cartridge but the dripping continues. When I removed the spout the water is dripping out of the valve from the wall. Is it a cartridge problem still if the water is dripping from the sprout valve?

That was awesome. You're video helped turn an intimidating task into an easy weekend project! :)

Thank you so much bro I really like it! Now I know how I fix it buy my self

thanks for the video!!

Any suggestions for when the screw is broken inside of one of metal handles?

Hi, My faucet looks exactly like yours. what model, company is this and what is the model of cartridge that I need please,,I would like to order it before opening it..? thanks

Thanks Matt..great vid..peace

For other people trying to do this, you should have more than just that main shut off for your cold water, you should have a shut off valve for each room that has water

Ok great video but my faucet doesn't have a any corners for me to grip with the socket valve wrench. Mine is completely rounded. How do I get it off???

in a lot of houses isn`t there a shutoff in the basement usually? curious as i have no idea wher emy outside one would be and my basement has all manner of knobs.

If it's the hot faucet the same procedure but turn the water heater off?

THANK YOU

Thanks Matt

Omg thank you soooo much for this video!!!!

What were the names of the items you used for the wrench and the piece to replace called ?

Thank you!

This was great thanks

Should I use any plumbers tape on the new cartridge ?

Great video

Thank you for this video. To the hardware store I go

Thanks Your Tutorial

I really think that my drip could be attributed to the cartridge but like one reply I'm ready to break the handle as it won't budge! Is there anything I can do?

Hi same Problem with mine,what do you call the wrench that you use ? I need one of that heheh

“MY MAN”!!....y’all know what it is when a brotha say that lol. Big shout out to the vid n all that love the vid, now the adventure begins in a pandemic 🤦🏽‍♂️

Changing valve body also change the valve seat .

This didn't work as demonstrated on a Kohler. I had to physically break off the handles and get at it, and the cartridge was 30/32" (or 15/16") so I had to make another trip to the hardware store. The 31/32" might have worked but there was a lot of play and I was afraid of stripping it. Still, the video was a great guide.

Good video. No shut off in the house? The faucet dripped for a few seconds after turning the water off because the shut off valves are above the spout and the water in the pipes between the valves and the spout must drain out. Doesn't mean there is a leak.

Hope you cleaned it too

Thanks 🎉

Just curious why didnt you change out the seat? I just did this and didnt replace the seat, as didnt you and your fix worked mine didnt. still leaks, drips its def the cold so think the seat needs changing as well?

If your house is old and you replaced the Valve and it still leaks, You will have to replace the pipe itself because they wear out over the years and it is very costly , in most cases you will have to cut into the wall to get to the pipes, I had this issue and it was very costly, had to cut away the tiles to get to the wall, then cut the wall to get to the pipes, Very Big job, and cost a arm and a leg to have it done, there is no way around it,

Thanks

Yeah it’s good to show peoples ❤

Matt i didn't see where you checked the valve seat. The cartridges usual come with a new seat.

I have one knob for my shower,is it still the same technique?

Great thank you

Thank u for sharing your noleage .

THANKS

What if you have one knob?

So to the point I can do this, just have to find my tools. Thank you

Hello , I have the same problem.. And I followed the repair step by step , with negative results.. On going problem/ matter... Please help ( a rookie )

I can't find those cartridges, where did you buy it and what was the price?

I have a question and maybe you'll know the answer. My tub faucet is doing something weird, not quite like this but it thought I'd ask. I turn off the faucet and its fine no water running. Within 10 or 20 minutes I return and it doing a steady drip of hot water. If I turn either faucet on and off again it stops temporarily again. Is this the solution to that as well? Or something different?

Will this also help direct the water to the shower head instead of coming out from the bottom when the showers running. Cause mine is leaking when it's off and a lot comes out from the bottom when the shower is running.

I replaced all of my valve seats, stems and used sealer. But the pipe to the faucet in my tub is still dropping 😔 What else could it be? We tightened all the parts correctly and checked is it was leftover water in the diverter. I'm at a loss of where the problem is.

Do u need plumbers tape on there?

Tried this, but sadly the long part around the cartridge is adhered into to the wall so I can't get the hex wrench around it to get the cartridge out.

Is that normal the water will drip for seconds after the water is shut off? I don't have the problem before I change to new cartridge...

Hey thanks a lot!! Super easy!!
