I am going crazy me and my husband have been trying to search websites and etc for this question and no answer yet I am looking for directions on how to change the water spigot in my bathtub and the hardware because it is a study leak and it is driving me insane when you sleep drip,drip,drip all day all night and my water bill is high enough.

Well you came to the right place, the pros on this board (not me) will be more than willing to help.

In the mean time, the tub spigot (the chrome piece) comes off. There is usually a set screw underneath, so you got to put your head under the spigot and look up to see it. Losen that screw. Then you can unscrew the spigot to remove it.

Now you can see the plumbing, and then this might give you a better view of what exactly is leaking.

Take some pictures and post them, that ALWAYS helps. Upload your pictures to ImageShack® - Image Hosting

And copy/paste the "URL for forumns" link to your message. You can preview your message before you submit for post to ensure the picture shows up right.

Spigot translates to spout to me and the spout isn't your problem. Your problem lies within the tub valve. What type of tub faucet do you have? One handle or two knobs? What's the brand name? How old? Let us know, tom
