Tub faucet- How do I go from a single handier to double?




My tub has a continuous drip. I was told that I just should need to change the faucet. Is this difficult? How do I go from a single handier to double?

If it's just a drip more likely you just need to replace the cartridge and not the whole faucet. Just need to know the brand of faucet.

Replacing a tub faucet is a little involved. Changing from single to double involves changing the plumbing in the wall.

Hi Dana,
Before you do that, look to see if you can change a washer in the faucet. Look up your brand of faucet on youtube.com to see if you find instructions to do the job.
If you want to change the faucet from a single handle to a double, here's an article that explains what is involved and how to do it.

Also why go to a double faucet? A single faucet is easier to maintain. You also would have to create another hole for the additional handle.
