    Loose tub spout
    The tub spout in my bathroom is loose. I am able to pull it away from the tile wall. I am afraid that water will get into the wall. How can I secure the spout to the wall? I am not very handy. Do I need a professional or can I fix this problem myself?

    If you can pull it away from the wall you must have the slip on type. Use allen wrench to tighten set screw.
