The faucet on my tub has loosened to the extent it can be turned almost 90 degrees. How do I tighten it?

Can you describe your faucet for me which part is loose ?

Would this be a Moen tub valve with a faulty tube stop? Does the handle almost turn all the way around? Talk to me! Cheers, Tom

Actually it is the spout that is loose and turns around.

Judy, the spout is screwed on or it has a small hex set screw on the bottom side. Get up under the spout and lookfor the screw, tighten it if you find it or if none then turn the entire spout clockwise until its snug and in the corect position, you got kids?

These guys will point you in the right direction for sure. Sure wish I had as many pics in my files. My kids have loosened my tub spouts up more than once. Have a good evening guys. AC
