浴室の蛇口の水漏れを修理する方法? Bathroom renovation can cost a fortune when you have to rely on hiring a professional, but with a little ingenuity it isn’t that difficult to tackle the job yourself. Depending on the size of your job and the skill level needed you might want to go out and purchase a do-it yourself book or get some pointers from a professional carpenter or plumber.
Fixing things like a leaky faucet or the drain under the sink are some simple jobs you could tackle on your own without paying a plumber a small fortune. If you are savvy you might even be able to tackle things like changing a sink or a toilet, though you might need some help with that.
Before starting any work on water faucets make sure all your supply lines are shut off. Most bathrooms will have a shut off under the sink if you can’t find one there you might have to trace your water lines back to where you can find the shut off. Don’t forget to turn off both the hot and cold supply lines.
Then it’s just a matter of disassembling your faucet and replacing the seal being careful not to pry on anything until you are sure all screws have been removed. Placing each item in order as you remove it will help to keep track of which way they need to be reassembled.
Depending on what type of a faucet you have will determine if you’re going to need to replace a cartridge or just a rubber washer. A washer type faucet will have the washer at the bottom of the stem.
Whether you have a washer to replace or a cartridge you will find them under the handles which are usually held on with a screw. Once you have disassembled your faucet head over to your local hardware store to find the exact replacements and assemble them in reverse order.
Fixing and repairing your own bathroom can be a very rewarding experience and one that you should be proud of.
