Taps need to be really tight to stop water?

[Cherry]

My bathroom sink and tub faucets need to be really tight to stop the water from flowing? Seats and seals were just changed.
Need to know the process on how to correct this, I am not a plumber and have regular tools only.

Until the seals form around the seats, it may need to be snugged tighter than normal. Give it a few weeks then report back.

get a pressure gauge that you can screw into a hose bib and check your water pressure. Then let us know what you found.

What is a hose bib?

 

[havasu]

A hose bib is a water faucet normally in your front yard, and closest to your incoming water line. This allows you to find out how much water pressure you have to determine if too high of water pressure is why you need to snug down your faucets.
