Don't worry because once you know what you are doing it is very easy to repair the shower tap or shower head. Fortunately, as long as you get it right, it's very easy to swap out these shower components.

What is causing the shower faucet or shower head to leak?

If water drips or drizzles on the shower head, there is a problem with the shower faucet or shower valve. The inner seal may be worn or the parts may be corroded or blocked by hard water build-up. The rubber O-rings and seals that attach to the metal portion of the stopcock will naturally wear out with time and use.

If your shower head is leaking, it means that the shower head or faucet is defective. The internal rubber seals may be worn, or some parts may be clogged with mineral build-up or corroded. Similarly, the rubber seals and O-rings used to seal the metal parts of the faucet wear out over time, causing water to leak out of the valve.

Suggestions for repairing leaky shower faucet.

The first thing to think about after seeing water come out of the shower head is to pull the handle as tight as you can. This is your one-time final warning. Do not tighten the handle. Shaking the handle will make the situation worse as the valve may be damaged if the handle is overtightened.

When attaching the shower faucet, a rag must be placed under the bathtub or on the shower floor. This will protect the surface and prevent small pieces from falling out of the drain. Before attempting to repair the shower valve, it is necessary to turn off the water supply in the house. The shower valve is located in your bathroom near the shower. If it's not in the bathroom, please check the house's basement. If you can't find the shut-off valve in the bathroom, turn off the water in the house.

How to attach a loose faucet handle?

If your valve handle is loose, all you need to do is tighten the screw that holds the handle in place. Some types of faucets require you to remove the metal button in the center of the handle. Other types of faucets have a mounting screw near the bottom of the handle. All you have to do is tighten the screws with a wrench. If tightening the screws doesn't work, it means the handle is worn out and needs to be replaced.
