Delta Bathroom Faucet Leaks: A Simple Fix in Less Than 5 Minutes

How on earth do I stop my bathroom faucet from leaking, it's driving me nuts?
Who hasn't pondered this question at one time or another. With the holidays approaching I wanted to share how to fix a dripping Delta bathroom faucet.
I made a nice flow chart (albeit with a little humor) to help you determine the source of the leak. And you should be able to repair any issue with three parts: rubber seat & spring and a new cartridge. You'll spend around $20 but there will be no more leaks from the faucet. You can check out my blog post for more pictures at http://www.homerepairtutor.com/delta-bathroom-faucet-leaks/
As always, if you don't do anything else you should view the three minute video that shows how to perform this fix. I guarantee you'll learn a few handy tips.
Have a great Thanksgiving!!

Leslie D on Nov 21, 2012One thing I have learned over the years is don't always trust that your local Home Depot/Lowes repair kits for seat & spring replacement will do the trick. You're much better off with OEM repair parts, or at least an ACE hardware kit, which tends to have all the right parts included in the package. We learned this after repairing a faucet 3 times and once we went to ACE, we realized their was a 2nd o-ring seal that was never included with the cheap replacement kits. Oh...and turn off the water...won't elaborate on that one.
