I am an old retired widow on a fixed income. After being given estimates from plumbers of $300 and $200 I decided to search CZcams for a better solution. I just want to say "Thank you so much" to the fellow on this video. I never imagined it could be something so simple as replacing seatings and springs because the others told me various things like "I'd hate to break into your tile...I'll have to access the panel in the bedroom and saw through those 2x4s that are in the way" or "you need to go buy a new faucet w/handle". All I spent was $7.00 total! You, sir, are a godsend.

Service people can be and often are......deviously greedy- you know, immoral.
As a home owner that does a lot of my own repairs, this is one the best how too videos I have seen. You do not assume or skip steps like a lot of terrible and lazy instructors in this world and as far as detail, he stresses how to put the rings back in, make sure the springs are properly inserted etc. And finally, beautiful camera angles. Tutoring and teaching is an art, and requires hard work and attention to detail. A lot of people do not know how to communicate because of apathy and laziness, this video is not that, but instead a gift: thank you so much and I will subscribe
Thanks for the wonderful feedback. I am glad I was able to help and welcome you as a valued subscriber.
I agree, just the detailed explanation of how to insert the springs and the idea of using the screwdriver to guide the assembly into place would have saved me much time and agony when I first tried to change this type of washer.
To David Thornton 6401: Why not just compliment the uploader instead of insulting "a lot of people?"
Wow bro! I do DIYs of everything but plumbing! I just worry that things would leak. I had put this leaky faucet off for a bit. My plumber friend said it could be costly and we had some renovations in mind so I let it linger. Then I felt I should give it a shot..boom! Your video. You made it look easy. I gambked the parts from Canadian Tire for about 9 bucks. I loosened it realized not same as yours but I figured it out...it turned out to be the easiest DIY I have done. I thank God for you! Just had to drop this note... Thank you, all glory to God!
Great video!!! I'm a 60 year old woman who never fixed anything myself!! Instructions were perfect!! Thanks!

Thank you from a single mom. My Dad was a plumber and fixed everything for me until his passing last year. My shower has been leaking for months and getting worse but now I am confident I can fix this by myself with his tools ♥

Good video. Hardest thing is to find the type and parts for your tub faucet handle. Mine is a one piece.

Thank you so much for posting this. I’ve had 2 plumbers come to my house to evaluate the leak. One wanted to charge me $350.00 and the other one wanted $444.00. Thanks to you I went to Home Depot and got the washers and springs for my tub and it cost me all of $4.00. God bless you and thank you!!!!!!!!

So do we actually need to replace the o rings?
Andrew Yang , no more leaking 😊
Nice job.... You have encouraged me to try this repair myself.
Your channel is the best!! Our faucet started leaking thursday night,,,,,NO ONE was willing to come out for less than a $250.00 Holiday & Weekend minimum. Watched your tutorial, spent $5.96 at Home Depot and WOOO HOOO

Love how detailed that was. Must be tricky get those shots!
Hey!!!! This vid saved me so much money and aggravation. Mine was a bit different, but I got it! No more leak!! Thank you so much!!!!
Thank you! With the help of this video, I took apart my leaking faucet, located the damaged gaskets and fixed the problem for less than $5!
You're welcome. Thanks for your kind comment.
Excellent! Thank you! I have a different single handle faucet but your directions and camera shots will assist. Many thanks!
I did not have clue how to stop the dripping in my bathtub. After watching your video, you made it look so easy. To my amazement, IT WAS! Thanks for a great video
You're welcome. Glad to help. Can you please subscribe in return? I would really appreciate it. Thanks.
Very easy explanation, simple step by step guide! Thank you!
Great video for an easy 15 minute fix. Ordered the parts on Amazon for $4 for 2 seats and 2 springs and the tub no longer leaks. We had a peerless faucet 88700 series which was slightly different from the video. I googled peerless 88700 series diagram and found out that our faucet was slightly different from the one in the video. The seats and springs were not in the wall. They were in the actual faucet housing which came apart with a quick 90 degree turn. Replaced both seats and springs in the housing and put it all back together. No more leaking! Helpful hint: Take a picture and line up the parts on the floor as you go so you remember how it all goes back together. Thank you for this video!

Great video! I have seen this leak in the past. Noticed the washers were specific to the brand. Thanks.
Thanks for making this video. I found it following a link from a video about fixing a leak in a bathtub with 2 knobs. Following these easy, straight forward instructions, I was able to fix the leak myself instead of having to pay for a plumber. IDK how much I saved, but I do know I only had to spend $3 plus tax for the parts and took only a few minutes.
Valuable Video , now I know how to fix my leaking shower faucet. Thank you 🙏🏽
Thank you so much for this video. The process was explained very well. I was able to repair my tub leak and this saved me no less than $150.00 for a plumber to come out. The parts cost around $8.50 and the job was completed in 10-15 minutes!!

I watched another channel and they made they whole thing look very confusing, turned it into a 10 hour back panel job. Hopefully mine will be more like this. After watching your video I think I maybe able to do this!! Just subscribed, thank you!
Katia L Foust A plumber just told a tenant the same thing. His said the universal kit wouldn't fit. I looked at Delta's site, and the kit is available. Thank God I know better.
Simple and straightforward. Thanks for sharing!
Man, you probably saved me a couple of hundred dollars with this video. Thank you so much!!!
Thank You, Thank You. From your video I was able to learn that I only needed to replace my damaged washer, not the entire assembly. Cost me just a little more than $2 to repair and stop the leak :-)

Where did you get them from
@@DoItYourselfEasy i would like to do ours but not sure where to shut off the water supply to so i can start doin the job
@@smiley08orillca96 I have the same question. Did you figure it out. Did you shut off the main water from the house?

Thank you very much for this video. I do all repairs in my house that I can and this video really helped. While my setup was just slightly different, as one would expect in different homes built in different years, it was similar enough that it guided me through the process without issue. I love learning new things and not depending on repair people, videos like this make that possible.

Happy wife, happy life
Ive done Drains, Dishwashers, Washing machines, sinks, toilets, hot water tanks... But never one of these guys (always dealt with the Hot & Cold Faucets). So it was quite Intimidating... But...
Just did ANOTHER one! :D Part was 20 years old (Delta 1400 series RP19804 this time). Took off the 'Vanity Plate' to keep mind of how hard I was sawing the handle off (face it, the likelihood of it actually Unscrewing is next to zero) by looking at the piping movements (Things can bend, break, etc) if I wasnt holding the pipe assembly steady.
(New Handle, I know... 15 bucks more to spend :/ )
The Bonnet Nut was next, not a major challenge (luckily for me), just patience.
Then out comes the Cartridge, right? HA! f***ing just separates into a good 3 dozen pieces. It was hell digging it out (the most time consuming part of the repair).
But once it was out, cleaned, the replacement Cartridge lubed... Damn! Night & Day difference! Like brand new! All thanks to YOUR wise words guys. I appreciate the help & Confidence you gave me on the project. :)
Wife is happy too. LOL

Why does plumbing seem so logical and yet everything goes wrong everytime I touch it
My Shower handle is a little different. Cant figure how to pull it off. It is a close resemblance but does not come apart like yours. I would like to send you a picture . Seems they make a lot of different handles that are similar.
I feel like an expert just watching the video! Thks! Subscribed!
