How To Change Faucet In Bathroom Tub

Before changing a faucet, you will need to close off the water supply to the bathroom, preferably from the main shutoff valve for the home, if possible. If there is no main shutoff valve, then get under the basin to find the individual water supply shutoff valves for hot and cold water. Once the water is shut off, you can begin the process of changing out the faucet.

The first step is to remove the old faucet. This will involve disconnecting the water supply lines, removing the mounting nuts, and lifting the old faucet out of place. Be careful not to damage the sink or countertop during this process.

Once the old faucet is removed, you can install the new faucet. Start by connecting the water supply lines to the new faucet. Then, insert the new faucet into the mounting holes and secure it with the mounting nuts. Finally, reconnect the water supply and check for leaks.

Changing a faucet in a bathroom tub is a relatively simple plumbing task that can be completed in about an hour. By following these steps, you can save yourself the cost of hiring a plumber.
