    Is this a single or two handled faucet? If a one handled and the cartridge has a stem the handle attaches to then replace the cartridge and install the old handle on that. If a two handled valve then replace the stem and washer assembly. Good luck, tom

    Was it just the handle that broke or did the stem break?
