What a huge headache it looks like.The rubber seal on my small bathroom sink faucet is leaking just a little bit (not bad). As I look underneath the sink cabinet, the faucet mechanism is way in the back of the sink basin and very hard to get to. Need plumber and they are super expensive. No way I can do this by myself, I do not have the tools for one.Looks like the whole sink apparatus has to come out to get to the underneath portion of the faucet.How much do you guess this will cost? Just to replace this rubber seal that will probabl cost $1.00.Thanks.
You can get the ring from any hardware store. However I recommend you just buy a variety pack with 10-20 different sizes. That will save you many trips back to the hardware store if one doesn't fit. Also check with friends to see if anyone has a couple of pipe wrenches you can borrow.
NO washers in a delta. What you like is a delta rebuild equipment, perhaps $10.00. It includes the ball, seals and is derived. All you like is an allen wrench and water pump plyers to get the faucet aside. A relitivly ordinary DIY venture. it is that in case you turn off the water grant first. If no longer that's style of extra complicated, yet very interesting too.
I don't know what washer you are talking about that is giving you a problem but, possibly to make the job easier, you could replace the entire faucet cheaper than having a plumber come over and repaire the existing one. They are probably going to want 2 hundred dollars or more.
Hello, as odd as it may sound, parts will be cheaper than a plumbers labor. If you don't feel comfortable working on this repair, I understand, do hire a licensed plumber. Depending on the are you live in, I would guess 75 to 125.00 labor. This is if no issues arise while getting to the bad washer. If you know the brand of faucet, call a few local plumbers, ask for a rough estimate to replace the washers for that faucet. You will get a general cost for your repair. Best of luck
Most faucettes are designed to be taken apart from the handle. Turn off the water supply There is usually a small cap in the centre of the faucette handle. This can be popped out to ecpose a screw that holds the handle onto the faucette. Remove the screw There is a collar that must be removed with a wrench Unscrew the collar (You may have to turn the faucette while unscrewing the collar) Once the collar is completely unscrewed you should be able to pull the inside of the faucette out with a twisting motion Some fausettes have o-rings, flat washers, cone shaped washers. Take the insides of the faucette to a hardware store or plumbing supply. They can advise what washers/o-rings/packings you require for that faucette. Assemble in reverse.
