Bath Faucet?

If you have a Price Pfister Bath faucet that is leaking at the base when you turn the water on. What does it need?Bath Faucet?
I think you mean a lavatory (bathroom sink) faucet





On the Price Pfister 2 handle faucets there is a nylon packing under the bonet of the stem


I would check there firstBath Faucet?
If it's a (for lack of a better term) regular faucet, not a single handle one, and it's leaking around the base of the handle, you need a new ';O'; ring around the shaft of the handle. If it were leaking throught the faucet itself, you'd need a seat washer at the end (inside) of the handle. They're easy to repair. Turn the water to the faucet off first (important), remove the handle knob and, using channellocks, remove the handle shaft, by turning counter clockwise. You'll see the ';O'; ring around the shaft. use this to get the right size for replacement, place the new ring in place and, working backwards from the original instructions, replace the handle.
if you call a plumber maybe he show up, and tell you this or that and charge you for something insignificant ,call someone who you will trust, someone who will help you, if im living where you live i should help you,,..
If you mean the tub faucet the stem is probably loose.Take off handel and estucion(chrome) and tighten with a stem wrench.Or call a plumber.
