If you’ve got a leaky kitchen faucet that needs to be fixed, keep watching. Follow along with me and learn how to fix your own in just a few minutes. This repair is for faucets with only one handle and it’s really very easy to do! The tools needed are Allen wrenches, large adjustable wrench and some needle nose pliers.
Before we start, turn off both water valves under the sink and cover up the sink to prevent small parts from accidently dropping into the drain. plastic ring. With the handle removed, we can see the rubber seals that need to be replaced. When you're done verything goes back in reverse order. Be careful not to squeeze the rubber seals too hard with your pliers. Because I laid everything out on the table, it was easy for me to put all the parts back together.
Once the faucet has been reassembled, turn on the water valves underneath the sink. Check to see that the faucet is running correctly. There may be some sputtering from the faucet after you start the water. Now when I turn off the faucet, the drip is gone!

Thank you ! This was so easy. I'm a 61 year old widow, shut in during a pandemic. I didn't want to have to call a plumber and pay $100+ for a $5-$10 job. I know my Master Plumber Grandfather would have been horrified if I had done that. great instructions! No more drip. Thanks again.
Excellent! I’m really glad that you were able to do the faucet repair on your own and save money! Thanks for watching!
I watched 5 videos prior. Yours was concise, to the point, clear and no fluff. Thanks! Exactly what I needed
Fixed my drippy and leaky faucet easily using this video. Thank you!
- tenant with lazy landlord
Your video was the closet to the type I have, and it worked out, took parts to plumbing store, matched and walked out with a repair kit
Easy no nonsense repair. Clear video and easy to understand! Great job!
Excellent, under 5 minutes, simple, and clearly explained. Thank you!
Thank you so much for posting this. I was just about to call a plumber but decided to look on UA-cam for advice.
Great step by step. Really easy repair. Hardest part was finding the right parts at the Sears Hardware store. Saved me at least $200.
Nice video, very simple and 2 good tricks, covering the sink so you don't lose any pieces and putting things out in order. Thanks for the help!
The first observation I made was your level of order! One cannot-not ever go wrong once tools and essential pieces to the faucet are in place. After all, is said and done, a function test is required! I like this very much! Great video and presentation! Semper Fi
Thank YOU so much!! 57yr old Nana was able to fix my kitchen faucet using your video. Can't tell you how much I appreciate it.
You just made our minds stress free, Thank You.
Thanks so much for posting this. Your step by step instructions are really clear, will help a lot with the drippy kitchen faucet.
Thank you for the clear, no nonsense tutorial. I was successful with stopping the leak. My only comment would be for future DIY's, please check online for your replacement part. I paid $40+ for the part, Amazon had a generic brand for half that price. I would have bought online and then followed these excellent instructions.
Again, thank you for taking the time to make the video and share your experience.
Oh, wow! How very helpful. You explained everything so well. Thank you so much!!
Very calm and easy to follow. The instructions were easy to follow. Great instructions. Works like a charm now.
Thank you so much! Another first time DIYer skill to add to the resume lol great vid!
I'm really glad you were able to follow along and fix the leak in your faucet! UA-cam is great for learning how to do things.
We fixed our leaky faucet today thanks to you!!! Thank you for posting this!
Hey! You're welcome! I'm really glad you were able to follow along and fix your leaky faucet! It means that it was worth it for me to make this video!
This was by far the BEST video ever! Thank you!
Excellent! I'm really glad you enjoyed the video! I had to do the repair and thought others could probably benefit with the step by step instructions. Also as an experiment, I shot this on a $30 smartphone just to see if I could really make a video with this particular phone.
I can't thank you enough for the specific and easy to follow directions you provided. I have never attempted to do this before and now my kitchen faucet no longer leaks and I saved myself a bundle of money.....:)
Excellent! I'm really glad you found the video easy to follow along! I assume you had no trouble fixing your own faucet! I'm glad you don't have a leak anymore!
Nice video...no screaming or music. Just straight forward repair. Thanks
Quick and to the point! A perfect video. Well done, and thank you.
You're welcome! I'm really glad my faucet tutorial was helpful!
Thank you for taking the time to show us how to do this :)
Thank you! Now I am comfortable too tackle the job.
Somehow, I'm a year behind everyone, but this video is fantastic! Clear, great sound quality and volume, and a reminder that what looks like a logo is really the magical gateway to the allen screw! Thank you so much!
You're welcome! I'm really glad you enjoyed the video. It's actually helped a lot of people fix their drip!
This was a great video! He got right to the instructions without any talking, like some other people who make videos. It was very easy to follow, and he gave a great tip to place the parts in order of how you remove them. I feel confident to do this myself now.
You can definitely do this faucet repair yourself! It’s not too difficult! Just make sure the water to the faucet is turned off first. Thanks for watching!
An absolutely useful video, indeed! I was able to save at least $100 in labor and parts as the replacement kit from Home Depot costed me only $3.50. Quick fix, no more drips - thanks a ton!
Excellent! I'm really glad you were able to do the repair yourself and save a ton of money!
Extremely well done video. Thank you so much.

Thanks! I'm glad that after watching my video you are inspired to repair your leaky faucet! It's not too hard to do. Just remember to turn off the water supply under the sink first!
The internal parts were different on my Delta faucet. However, the removal of the parts was the same at the start and I was able to take the part and match it at the hardware store. Replacement part was $25 with tax. So, thank you very much for helping me stop the leaky faucet in my kitchen!!!
Excellent! I’m really glad you were able to do the faucet repair yourself even though yours is slightly different than mine. Great job and thanks for watching!
Thanks so much for the easy explanation and instructions.

Excellent explanation thank you!

Thank you! exactly what I need.
Just used this video to fix the kitchen sink in my apartment. Perfect instructions, thank you so much. Less than $5 in parts rather than hundreds for a plumber!
Excellent! I'm really glad you were able to save money and do the repair yourself!
You. Saved. Me. Thank you!!
Very concise and clear video!! Well done. I wish they were ALL as good as this.
Thank you very much for the compliment on the video! I try my best to explain things very clearly and with good visuals in my videos. I'm really glad you enjoyed it!
Great video, thanks for sharing your expertise.
I was able to use Delta replacement parts for my Moen Faucet. Thanks for the great video>
Very helpful video. Thank you so much.
Thanks - nicely done.
Perfect Video Thanks
Thank you TheRenderQ. Just successfully fixed a leak. Like Betty (previous commenter), the Allen screw was difficult to remove-took a little torque but it did come off without rounding the head or stripping threads.
Great work fixing the leak! I'm glad the video was helpful! Thanks for watching!
Thank you
Thanks for the video. The repair took only about 10 minutes. We have a 10 year old Delta faucet. I called them and they sent me the parts kit for free. If you have Delta faucets, they warranty them for life. I was never asked about proof of purchase or if I was the original owner. All the best!
That's great that you got the repair done so fast. And Delta sent you the parts you needed! I'll have to keep the warranty information in mind next time I have to do work on a Delta faucet! Thanks for watching!
Thank you so much.. you saved me not only $$$$ but time..
You’re welcome! I’m really glad that you were able to save time and money fixing the faucet yourself! Thanks for watching!
Thank you Thank you perfect video ,fixed my leak .
Thanks 😊 very helpful... Even I was having the same trouble.
Thank you for posting!
You’re welcome! I’m really glad my faucet repair tutorial helped! Thanks for watching!
Worked great thanks so much
Great video! Perfect fix!
Thanks for this. It took three times as long to go out and find the part as it did to fix! My faucet was a Kohler, which used a cartridge vs. the small gaskets and springs, but the basic idea was exactly the same and the repair itself was a breeze. The most challenging part was using the allen wrench to get the initial screw out.
You're welcome! I'm really glad you were able to use the directions in the video get your faucet fixed even if it was slightly different than the faucet I have!
Thank You!!!!!
OMG How easy. Thank you!
You're welcome! I'm really glad the video was helpful!

Nice! I'm glad the video was easy to follow along! This was my parent's sink that was leaking and I shot this video on a $30 Nokia smartphone as an experiment of the video quality of that phone. But this video has actually helped a lot of people! Glad you were able to do this DIY!

GREAT Instructions! And the video was perfect.

Had a leaky faucet and now I don't. Thanks for the video as it was exactly what I was looking for, and the pointer that Delta has a lifetime warrantee saved me money too.
Very well done! Thanks for your time & help
Thanks for the kind words! I'm glad this video is helping others!
Thank you!!!
Thank you for a very helpful video - leak is fixed!
Nice! I'm glad you got the leak stopped! Thanks for watching!
Super clear and easy to follow. If your little rubber seals are leaking from age & use, its usually a good idea to change out the ball cam assembly at the same time (the “another plastic ring” at 1:20, which comes with a matching black rubber seal underneath that prevents leaks around the base of the handle). By the time the smaller seals are leaking, the cam’s seal usually is worn and ragged, too. For the same reason, I unscrewed the aerator from the end of the faucet and rinsed out the black rubber bits that had accumulated there.
Great video. Straightforward and easy to understand.
Excellent! I’m really glad you were able to follow along with my faucet repair video!

Awesome. Seals need replacing. I thought I could just adjust it better but time to make a home depot run!
I’m glad you were able to figure out that you needed new seals so you can fix your faucet! Thanks for watching!
Thanks.
I have no idea how we survived without UA-cam. Thanks for taking the time to make your addition to the fixers Guide to the universe
I think about how we got along without UA-cam all the time! I'm just happy that I can help all the DIYers out there! Plus these videos are often a reference for myself in the future in case I ever have to do the repair again!
Good job! Thank you!
You're welcome! I'm really glad you enjoyed the video and hopefully it helped if you're having a faucet drip!
