- In this video I will show you how you can easily fix a Leaking bathtub faucet. There are two ways you can fix this issue.
1. Buy new cartridge and replace - you can call the manufacturer and get it for Free - Life time warranty
2. or buy rubber washer for less than $10 and replace it.
In this video I am replacing Delta cartridge.
Check my previous video to find out how to get Free Cartridge.

Thanks Raj. I was able to fix my leaky bathtub faucet because of this video. I just replaced the washers. I would've quit if it wasn't for your great tips. WD-40 took a few applications before it started moving. Putting the handle back on to pull out the cartridge was genius.
Thank You so much for taking your time to write this comment. Really appreciate. This will give motivation to many people. I am very happy that you were able to do it. Good job 👏
Raj, your tip for putting the handle back on to help pull the cartridge out was a life saver! Other videos made it look like it comes out easily, which was not the case with mine.
I am glad this helped. Hope everything went well.
Thanks Raj! I just finished replacing my Delta faucet cartridge. I followed each of your steps as laid out. Easy peasy... thanks for the help
I watched many videos. Yours was the best. Your instructions and a few tips helped replace my Delta bathtub faucet with a new cartridge. It only cost me $ 42.80, for part, and I saved the labor. Thanks for making me feel great for a job well done. Blessings!
Thank You for your kind comments. Good job 👍
Thank you so much Raj. I followed your instructions to the T. Luckily, I only had to replace the springs and the two tiny rubbers. I got it at Home Depot under $3. I was able to fix the leaking bathtub faucet using your demonstrations. I am so proud of myself!! Thank you so much for saving my family hundreds of dollars in labor and parts.👍👍
Thats great. Good job. 👍
Thank you Raj!! This was the 5th or 6th video I clicked on. Yours was by far the best. Great explanation of things.
Thank you for your kind feedback
Thanks Raj, this was the best video on the subject by far.I did fix the leak, and I owe it all to you.
Oh…great. Thank you for your feedback. I am happy everything went well. 👍
Very quick, precise, and detailed explaination on all components involved for the fix.
Enjoyed the tips and the end VALIDATION showing the drip is no more.
Thank You
Just like the other comments, watched a few other videos before stubbing onto yours and let me just say-yours was the best. Thank you for the simplicity and step by step instructions🤘🏽
Thank You so much for the feedback. Appreciate. Good luck
Thank you soo much for this video... I was able to fix my leaky faucet without breaking the bank.
Amazing. Good job. I am glad to hear
Very useful! I took mine apart with your help, looked over all the gaskets (I'm a contractor but NOT a plumber) and all the gaskets looked good. Its pretty new too (less than two years old). But there was a lot of mineral build up that may have formed near/around where gasket actually inserts and created a small opening so I cleaned everything out/up and I think that did it.
You are smart. 👍
This worked very well... thank you. I contacted the manufacturer as you explained in your other video and they sent the cartridge for free. The fix was simple while following your video.
Excellent. I am happy to hear everything went well.
I'm gonna try to fix mine tomorrow, thank you for sharing!
If you need to replace cartridge, first check with your manufacturer to get free Cartridge. I posted a video about how I got for free.
This is a very good video I like the way you described step by step
Great video, Raj. You just saved me 300 bucks.
I am glad to hear this. 👍
Thanks for the video..just fixed mine today. Simple instructions, easy fix.
Thank You for your feedback 🙏
I did it, more than say thank you. Spend more time and patient, don’t rush.
I am so happy.
Thank you for your feedback
Hi Raj! This was very detailed and helpful. Many videos fail to give such details as to the potential of trouble or resistance you might get with certain steps of a repair which leaves us as viewers in need of the information stick when we put it into practice but it doesn’t happen as easily as when in the video. So again I appreciate your attention to detail and desire to provide us with the best information to be successful in our repair!

Thank You so much for your kind comment
Great video, especially ensuring something doesn’t go down the drain.
Thank You
Prefect video… I fix my’s in 15 min thanks to u 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
Awesome 👏
Tks just changed it watching your Video. Big help saved money.
Great 👍
Very useful information 💁♀️
I watched about 10 of these and would rate 9 of them a 5. Raj on the other hand is a 10! He gives you two tips. One you can get a free cartridge from Delta. It was easy once I got the email right. Shipped free too. Two, there is a white plastic hub that is the temperature setting device. Watch Part #3 of this series to see exactly how to set. Trust me, pull out on hub and turn counter clockwise toward HOT as far as it will go. Now you and the handle have complete control of water temperature. If you don’t do this you will find yourself taking off handle and putting it back multiple times.
Thank You for your great feedback. Appreciate you taking your time to write. 🙏
Thank you for uploading video and for informing me about the delta warranty. I recently changed my cartridge as well. Getting the cartridge out was not easy at all, and I couldn’t use your handle trick because it turns out the nail was really rusty. (I haven’t unscrewed the handle in 10 years). Had to use the wd-40 about 5 times. But eventually I got the cartridge out. Thanks again for all the tips and help
You are very welcome 🙏
For me too- but only the white plastic part came off. Now I can't get it back on. 😬
Thanks Raj. Good job, very helpful video!
You welcome 🙏
Thank you. You saved me a lot of money.
You are very welcome. Hope you were able to fix it without any trouble.
Yes I did exactly like you said and did and I did the plastic bag test..it worked like a charm...have good night
Thanks Raj, great video. You helped me a lot today.
Thank You for your feedback. I am glad to hear. Good job
Raj, thank you so much. My mind is a little more stress free. Tomorrow I am going to fix my leaking faucet using your instruction. I feel very confident after watching your video. I have prayed and prayed and prayed that I am able to accomplish this and now I am sure that I can thanks to your video. I am horrible with handling tools, just always been bad at it, but tomorrow I will buy the allen tool, wd40, a flat head and the thing you used to remove the washer/ring. I'm so excited now. Wish me luck.
Wishing you all the very best. Let me know if you were able to do it.
@@learnfromraj Raj, I can;t get the handle off. I even took the whole screw out. It is stuck on there. :(
@@islabonita6304 oh no….that is the common problem everyone having. If we hasn’t removed for long time, it get stuck with calcium buildup. In one of my washroom, I ended up cutting the handle with saw and replaced new handle. If it’s too hard for you to do, get a help from a plumber. So sorry to hear that happened to you.
@@learnfromraj Raj, just to update you and others. Over 4-5 days, I sprayed the area with vinegar, and each day the handle loosened. Today I was able to remove it. I am sure if someone added vinegar a few times a day it would work faster. Now the ring is stuck, so I am taking your advise and using WD40. Hopefully by tomorrow it will come off so I can replace the cartridge.
Thank You for your update. Please let us know if you were able to get the ring off. So sorry to hear that you have to go through this.
Very clear explanation and exhibition thank you

@@learnfromraj Thanks again and keep up the good work I fix the leaking bathtub faucet my self last night and all thanks to you. Just a little story two years ago a did have this problem but I didn't know how to fix it myself so I did called a plumber and less than half and hour he charged me $375 dollars. But this time I only spent $45 dollars to replace the cartridge.

This little th-cam.com/users/postUgkxVoi3B4CB6Oygq1-vo4OTL1M_M5JkrXif tub works perfect in our 6 x 6 shower and is easy to get in and out. Also easy to drain.
Great. Thank you for the video ! Very helpful!👍🌝
Thank You
Love you, for the video
Thanks Raj. I just finished replacing the caskets and springs. I was having difficulties pushing the cartridge in place. I did, however, found that using the ring the cartridge can be seated. No dripping now!
Good job.👍
Thank you Nolan for that heads up! I had the same issues with mine.
Excellent video!
Thank You
Good video, also use 1/8" allen wrench for the handle.
Good Job Raj !
Thank You
Thanks, gonna fix mine.
Best of luck 👍

You are a good plumber too👍

NICE VERY USEFUL

Nice sharing 👍
Thank You
Thank you sir !
Welcome
Useful 😊
Thank you sir
I hate to call the landlord. Because it will only give him a reason to increase the rent. Thank you ever so much helping a single woman be independant.
Were you able to fix it? Everything ok now?
Wtv u do ALWAYS make sure to turn off the water run a water hose or a faucet inside to drain the lines than work with the shower🤣
@@learnfromraj yes it really was easy. Thanks again.
Good work 👍
Great video
Thank You 🙏
wow good job I whisk my boyfriend know how to fixing I m alway fixing house thank you
Thanks for your feedback
very useful information like
Thank You
Thank you Dada thank you so much
You welcome
What size pliars do you need? Would a 10in be good? Or smaller?
Thank you
You welcome 🙏
Thx Raj 👍
Welcome 🙏
Hey Rodger you Sri Lankan but it doesn't matter you still kick ass
TY
now i know why the hot and cold water are switched on mine! our leaky faucet has been a problem for forever and we supposedly got it fixed but it’s letting so much water out again
Raj watched your video it was great but my problem of leaking did not stop. I replaced my old Moen 1222 cartridge and replaced with a new cartridge Moen 1222 but the new cartridge was also leaking and my problem not corrected. Any suggestions what went wrong why the leak/dripping did not stop?
Check if the leak is from the tub spout
What size is the Allen wrench? I've tried a few including Metric & none seem to work! HELP!
How do you adjust the flow rate of the water coming out? When I first trurn the handle counterclockwise I get cold water where i can adjust the amount of water i need. But when turning the handle further to the hot side I can't adjust the flow...it's always on full on the hot side. Can't adjust the flow on hot.
I don't think we can do that in this single handle model.
Very nice 👍,,,,,, brother what if handle not opening,,,, what should I do,
That will be challenging. I got into this situation once and ended up cutting the handle with a mini saw and replaced new handle.
Thx
Welcome
My faucet looks like this one, but how do I know the number of it to tell delta what I need? You did a great job for having to video and fix at same time.
Look right under the handle you will see which series it is. For example mine is 1400 series. If you tell them this, they will locate the right parts. In case if you can't find, they will ask approximately how old and then they will locate your part.
@@learnfromraj Oh thank you so much. It is a 1400 series also thanks again
Great. Best of luck!
@@learnfromraj What size Allen wrench did you use?
@@janetruby9898 1/8"
Hi Raja,
Urgent
what is the size of the hex key?
If the screw is stucked or the screw's head is damaged how to pull it off?
Sorry just saw your message. If the screw is damaged and can’t get the handle out, last option is to cut the handle with a mini saw and replace new handle. I had this situation once.
any suggestions on how to remove the handle if the allen key hole is rounded and the allen key cannot grip it? I am struggling to remove the actual handle as nothing will bite properly to the rounded hole.
This is a difficult situation. I had the same problem in one of my bathroom long time back and I had no other choice so I had to cut the handle with a mini saw and replaced with a new handle. Hope you find a way to get that handle out.
@@learnfromraj I see, thank you.
They do make crescent wrenches..🤣
Raj You kick ass do you live in Canada can you come over to my house and fix mine
I put a new cartridge in my Delta faucet in my tub and it still leaks what would be my problem
Im trying to fix mine, but it dosnt have a spot for a allen key to remove the handle. Do u just pull off the handle ?
Sorry just read your message. Were you able to remove?
@@learnfromraj yes! It was located in the valve, once I took the cover off I seen it. My faucet is now fixed thanks to you! Great video
Good job. Happy to hear. 👍
This locks very helpful but my Alan screw is stuck and won't come out, so I can't even start the job. Any idea what I can do?
So sorry to hear that. Try spraying 4wd, wait and try to get it out. Hope you find a way to get it out. Worse scenario, you would need to cut the handle with a small saw and replace new handle. I ended up doing that for one of my wash room since the handle got stuck and couldn’t remove at all.
Thanks
Hello any links for the cartridge? Thanks or model number? Thanks 🙏🏼
If your manufacturer is Delta, go to their official website and you can send an email to them with your model number and they will get back to you.
To find the model, check on the bottom side of the covering plate
Where can i buy those pliers?
Where r u from?
How can you remove a handle with a rounded screw inside?
It’s going to be very challenging. I had this situation once and I ended up cutting the handle with small saw and put a new one.
Nice video but in my own case the nut is worn out so the Allen key can’t open it .
You mean the handle?
On another video the guy said that is common, WD40 it for 10 minutes or use vinegar to get calcium off.
I used krud kutter & q tips to clear out the corrosion.
Can you tell me how to find out what type or name of faucet please?
If you look on the bottom of the plate, you can see the name and the model number
@@learnfromraj thankyou
Let me know if you find it.
@@learnfromraj yes I will
Bro where are you work in india or foreign country.
Canada bro
@@learnfromraj ok
Where are you from bro?
@@learnfromraj srilanka
How i can shut off hot water..?
Sorry What did you mean? You want to completely shut off hot water for the shower?
@@learnfromraj yes
I don’t think you can do that for shower because the shut off control is behind the tiles. You won’t have access to that unless you cut the wall and gain access.
you didnt show to turn off the valve.
My whole house is falling apart and my landlord will not fix anything. I don't want to try to fix anything else cause if I mess it up
Hi Christian, sorry to hear that. Yes, if u r renting don't try. Let the landlord fix it. If we are not careful we might damage the pipe line because sometimes its too tight and hard to remove the old one and it will be a mess like you said. Hope your landlord fixes soon
You didnt need to spray anything you were turning it the wrong way
Don't be an idiot like me, TURN THE WATER OFF. I missed that part and nearly flooded my house, called the fire department and they turn it off for me. I couldn't find it before starting
Oh no….sorry to hear that.
