    I can't remove the leaky spout in my bath tub
    The bath tub spout in my bath tub/shower is leaking profusely.
    When I shut the valve after my shower the diverter lever drops down but the spout continues dripping at the rate of three drops per second.
    I would like to replace the spout but I can't remove it even after reading about it through the site.
    The diverter is located near the wall and underneath it there is a large plastic screw into which you can fit a quarter but it does not loosen.
    I unfortunately cannot find the brand.
    Can you help me someone?

    What makes you think it's the diverter that's causing the leak?

    Could it be the valve?

    To remove the spout put a pipe wrench on the spout or in the mouth of the spout and turn counter clouckwise. If you have a drip your problem might be washers and or seats.

    You might want to pay mind to ,if it's a plastic spout or a brass spout as well . Some plastic spouts are flanged to the wall first , and then the spout goes on locked by a tab at the bottom near the wall.
