How to repair a washerless bathroom sink drip
l have a drip in my bathroom sink.The faucet is washerless.
call a plumber!!!
First off, if it is a washerless faucet it doesn't have a seat.
And make no mistake, the difference between having a simple washer & being
washerless, is that the washerless system uses SEALS instead of washers.
They still need to be replaced occasionally, especially if you live in an
area of high calcium or lime, or rust content in the water. You don't
mention the make of the faucet ,but the majority of them, if it is not a
Moen, have two small round seals, setting on two small round springs, in recessed slots on the side of a round cavity in which a ball rotates up & down & side to side, (if it is a single arm), or a plastic stem rotates around, if it is a two handle system. You should be able to buy replacement seal & ball or stem kits in ur local hardware or home center. If you ask one of the attendants may be able to give you some help with how to disassemble the particular unit. If you do decide to tackle the project, use some petroleum jelly, (vaseline), on the springs & new seals when reinstalling them. They will go in easier & last longer.
You have to ream the seat. You can get the tool for about
$5.00 at most hardware stores, and they are very easy to use.
