I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM
I'm no expert on this at all, but did you check that the new handles came with washers? Whenever we have a leaky faucet, that's what we check first.
Did you use plumbers tape to seal it? Its very cheap to buy & very very easy to use! I just installed a new shower head & stopped that leak with this tape. Next, (today) I am fixing my garden hose spray nozzle with it too.
To me it sounds like it might be stripped thread or broken stem. Unless you are comfortable repairing yourself, call a plumber and test repeatedly for several minutes before they depart to make sure it works properly.
No. You need to get the correct handle . take your old ones with you when when you buy the right ones ask a sales person to help you. When I say old ones I mean the original Handel's for your shower.
I agree with Dennis. There is not a one size fits all.
