    Depends on your brand/model but it usually isn't too involved. Shut off the main and remove the handle and bezel. You will have a stem or maybe a cartridge, both are removeable and repairable. If it is leaking right at the stem try tightening the ring around the stem, sometimes the packing will reseal.
