A shower faucet is a tap for hot and cold water in a shower.

It is also known as an “mixer” or “tub filler,” and the location on the wall of your bathtub that it is mounted can be called a “wall box.”

Shower faucet’s job is to supply both the hot and cold water spouts on either side of your bathtub. It can also be used inside of showers on walls, although these kinds are more often found in commercial buildings than in residential homes, because they require special wall anchors to prevent them from pulling away from the drywall when you are pulling out the hose arm.

There are many reasons your shower faucet could be leaking.

One of them is that the rubber washer on the end of the handle may be worn out or shrunken. These washers sometimes come in kits with different sizes, so you might want to try replacing it first.

There can also be a leaky compression valve at either end of the faucet’s threaded connection. You will want to replace both these parts if they are bad.

If all else fails, you will need to replace the whole shower faucet fixture.

You can either replace the rubber “O” rings or replace the whole washer with a new one. It depends on what you have access to in your home.

If you have some plumbers putty, Teflon tape, and some skill at DIY pipes-style repairs this is the way we would recommend doing it.

Otherwise, hiring an experienced plumber is highly recommended, because many plumbing problems many be caused by doing this without related skills and knowledge.

Leaking shower faucet repair is part of leaking investigation and repair that Wrench It Up plumbing and mechanical provides.
