bathtub

Hello all, I'm a blog writer for Home Gnome and I'm doing a series of article on re-glazing bathtubs and had a few questions. If you're able to answer them, please leave your name and your company so I can properly credit you for your answer in the articles. I appreciate your time. 1. What is...

Not sure if I'm just dumb or what, but I can't find any replacement shower\bathtub handles that have this same fitment. Is there a specific keyword or name I need to use to find them? Any help is greatly appreciated. Please see the photo of the inside of the faucet handle I removed. They are...

Hello Everyone, My bathtub is draining SUPER slow and it's becoming quite an annoyance. I do think it's the drum trap that is going bad. My house was made in 1956 so I'm certain it's as old as it as well. I'm wondering if I replace the drum trap with a standard p trap, would that clear up the...

Hello All, I'm hoping to remove the old bathtub spout and diverter and install a new Danco spout. There is a ton of buildup on the old one (see photo), which isn't able to do a good job diverting water to the shower head any more. With so much buildup, I can't seem to find the set screw to...

So, about 1 month ago my bathtub suddenly started draining very slowly. The only "event" that seemed unique was a few days earlier my partner soaked her new moss pole, so a little bit of dead moss probably went down the drain. My house was built in the mid-eighties, all original plumbing as far...

Hi, everyone! I'm a new homeowner and this is my first time on the forum so please forgive any and all stupid questions. Recently my wife and I have noticed this tick/almost hollow burping sound after showering. We also routinely notice the click/click/click/click of what sounds like the pipes...

I have this tub spout where the diverter broke and is basically unsalvageable. I talked to Grohe support and they told me any 3/4 spout would work so I got a cheap one. Problem is it appears the old spout left a nut on the 3/4 pipe and it rounded so I don’t know how to pop it off. Any ideas?

Hi folks, I had leak when a family member overfilled the bathtub, I deduced that it’s a faulty overflow. Wondering if anyone has tips on how I can prevent this again, maybe my extra sealants or something

This had happened several times but not every time... when I drain the tub I'll see a pool of water around the toilet on the floor. The only time it happens is when I drain the tub... Any ideas? Thank you so much for any help or advice! I don't want to stop taking baths, lol

I want to change this tub cartridge but I am not able to figure out what will work. Can someone identify it, and suggest what I can use?

Hi guys, I’m new here. I have a question about damaged drain elbow. Is it fixable or need to be fully replaced? Drain was impossible to remove even with superior extractor tool, so I used metal saw in 3 places. In result, I slightly (?) damaged the drain elbow in two spots. Photos:

Hi there, this is my first time posting here , hopefully you can help me with my issue. I am trying to remove an old tub spout. I have watched many videos and they talk of the different versions, well this one looks to be a possible pin version, but the pin is becoming very hard to remove. I...

Hello, I recently bought my first house last year. The upstairs guest bathroom has a tub. When you turn the water on the pressure is very low. If I turn the faucet to the left (hot) it will come out a little fast but not full pressure. If I turn it right (cold) the pressure drops. If it's in...

I took the cover off the overflow pipe in my tub to snake the drain and discovered that it's completely sealed closed, and it seems like it's been that way since it was installed... Can anyone help me identify what I'm looking at and/or how to remove it? I've tried unscrewing it, with no...

Hello, need some help here. I took out this screw shown in the photo and water started spraying out of the bathtub faucet pipe below the handle. So I put back in the screw but now the faucet won't stop dripping. I tightened it as much as I could and still just won't stop dripping water. Any help...

Hello all and thank you in advance for the help. My bathtub faucet has been either providing lukewarm water or running low on hot water fairly quickly the last month or so. I think it was always cooler temperatures than other fixtures in the house, but it has become a problem recently. All...

I want to replace my bathtub knobs but i cant find a suitable replacement for it, can you guys help me locate a good replacement thats fits because im using a wrench to turn off and on my cold water right now.

My family purchased a new home a few years ago. This issue has always been present, but I'm finally getting around to figuring out the issue. Our water heater is in our basement and our bathtubs are on the second floor (2 floors up). If we try to fill the tubs with hot water quickly, the...

There are plenty of tutorials for sealing/caulking bathtubs. However, my bathtub has a kind of skirting around its edge, as in picture: How do I go about that? Should I caulk both edges? I plan to use standard silicone, would that be good for both? Is there any particular I should keep in mind...

Hello. Need help in identifying a bathroom faucet. This was already put in when we bought the house. It is now leaking and we have no idea how to take out the knobs. Any input helps! Thank you! C85D77B4-D79E-44D4-82A1-82517C53BDBD by stuy820 posted Dec 23, 2019 at 9:30...
