Toilets, Sinks, Showers, Tubs and Disposals - Faucet Problem!

Hi guys quick question? My bathroom shower has a leak so no big deal I have replaced these before, Hot and cold so I go to Home depot pickup some new seals change both inside the stem and all outside seals and for some reason or other it still leaks any suggestion, faucet are Price Fixtures. Any help would be great. Thanks Dan

age of the fixture would be a little helpful but, i think that the valve seats( the brass that the washers on the valves meet with) may need to be redressed(cool little tool that will smooth the surface of the valve seat) or replaced if it is pitted beyond repair. go back to the dill heads at home depot and they should be able to get you on the right track( i kid with the guys down there because a lot of my budget for over 10,000 units go to them, as well as lowe's).
should be an easy fix.

Is it a single lever or dual lever Price Pfister unit? If single lever, did you change the entire moveable working units inside or just the seals? You may want to see if there is a complete rebuild kit. Otherwise, like Barry says, resurface the seat area, reinstall the seals, and it should work fine.

If these are the older style Price Phister stems, when you change the washers are you also changing the seats? Because if you do not change the seats, chances are even after the new washer is installed it will start leaking again - soon.

Pull the valve out again, take a flashlight and look inside the manifold. You will see it. It requires a seat wrench to pull out (twist). Then screw the new seat in and put assembly back together.

If they are 1/4 turn valves, sometimes it just eaiser to replace the valve.
