Repair A Leaky Delta Faucet
Delta faucet Aaron Stickley
With age and time a faucet may begin to drip. This is a common problem that can usually be solved with a new rubber seat and spring. This Delta faucet repair guide shows you how to repair the leak in a few easy steps.

You will need:

  • Pliers
  • Screwdriver or Allen Wrench
  • New rubber seat and spring
  • Stem grease
  • Possibly a new stem (see note below)

Note: You may also need to change the stem if:

  • The handle is stiff when turning on the faucet
  • Leak around the handle when the faucet is on
  • Replacing the seat and spring doesn’t stop the leak
