The head that links into the tub broke off when i was tightening it and i turned the nob so water shouldn't run but its still leaking. My repair guy can't make it for a few days. Its leaking on the rug and going through the ceiling to the first floor!!! I tried to duct taping it but no matter how much i use it still leaks through the cracks after minutes. I need a cheap quick fix till the repairman comes.
You need to try to be more specific. Is this a drain or water line feeding the tub?
only thing to do is shut off the water either to that area or the whole unit. turn it back on briefly to refill toilets and turn back off before the pipes recharge with full pressure. at least it wont leak as much and especially over night etc. turn on a tap to relieve the pressure in the pipes after you turn off the water.
