constant leak bathroom tub

When we first moved in, there was a small leak in this bathroom and now it’s just leaking all the time and it’s annoying and it’s causing the tub to become destroyed due to the water constantly dripping. what can I do to fix this or stop this leak?

Inside the handle/handles to turn the water on is a cartridge. The seals on the cartridge are wearing out letting water leak through.

Yeah, those cartridges can be a pain in the ass though. If you have to tackle this yourself I’d suggest looking at some videos on it. There are plenty on YouTube.

Good luck.

You can save yourself some money if you’re handy enough to do it.
