My 3-knob PricePfister tub/shower faucet was dripping through the spout and into the tub when both hot and cold knobs were turned off. I replaced the stems and the seats on the hot and cold water knobs. The fixture still drips (although not as much) through the spout when the knobs are turned off. Other than changing the entire fixture, is there something else that can be done to stop the dripping? Thanks

I also replaced Price Pfister stems and seats on the hot, cold, and shower diverter. I also have the drip from the tub spout, about every 10 seconds.
I don't understand the plumber's answer. He says to use a reseating tool. If the seats have been replaced, do they still need the reseating tool ? What am I missing ? Why is it still leaking ?

Thank you.

use a reseating tool. water or limescale will over time pit the brass seat in the tap that why we always run the resetting tool round afew times to clean it up so the washer will seat fully.
