Sounds like one I did for some friends. Like you say, two springs and
two washers. The kit was less than three bucks, and I was in and out
in an hour. They were leaking hot water, so it was a big thing to
them.

....I need some opinions. I have a leaking faucet in the tub. It's a
single handle, Peerless model. I have been leery of trying to fix it
because from what I've seen in my reading, it's hard to tell what I
might run into in the faucet. I know zip about doing this and don't
want to end up disabling it altogether!

One of the sewer guys who was here working the other day (yes, the
house is fraught with plumbing woes right now) eyeballed it and told
me
it's "...the easiest kind to fix. You just take off the handle and
you'll find two little springs and two rubber washers. You need to
replace the rubber washers."

What do you guys think? Given that I have never repaired any faucet
in
any way, am I more likely to be able to fix it or to end up destroying
it and having no shower until I call a plumber?
