Got a leak down through the living room ceiling light fixture. Pretty sure it was the sprayer on the freestanding tub faucet leaking while the tub was filling up and running down under the tub through some cracked grout. It just isn't very water tight and always dripping. Does anyone know how to find all the internal replacement parts to rehab one of these? I've been looking around but can't figure out what all I need.

This one is pretty generic looking but probably 13 years old given when the previous owner did the remodel. I can't quite find a 1:1 match online. Definitely trying to avoid buying be a new one.

Thanks for any help!!

You'll have to get very lucky for any one plumber to identify...so many mfrs, esp off brands from off continent.
You might try contacting a good plumbing wholesaler that has a showroom, then ask for a mgr or staff that is "older", if you know what I mean.
Don't hold your breath.
Do check Pfister Product Detail

I am not saying you aren't on the right track, but I thought I had a water leak from the pipes that manifested itself the same way that your leak is doing. My problem turned out to be the tub drain was installed with little to know plumber's putty and it was leaking when water was in the tub be it from a shower or a bath.

You can check that by filling the tub with a bucket or something and seeing if the water still gets to the light fixture.
