The shower in my master bathroom is being wonky. When we turn the shower on there's still a good bit of water coming out of the spout. I'm assuming that there's a connection somewhere that's not sealing up completely, but I'm not sure where to look.
I attempted to take off the middle handle that is the diverter. After digging through the soap scum I got the hex screw out, but was unable to get the handle off. I wasn't sure where to go from there, so I just left it be since I didn't want to break anything. How do I get it off? Do I need to remove the spout and unscrew it?
Regardless, once I figure out how to get this handle off, I need to know where to go from there. Could I just buy a new 3 handle set and replace? Could I have this ones O ring repaired?
Thanks.

Uhg, is that pic your spout setup?
The fix is a $0.10 neoprene washer.
But you'll need to turn the water mains off and disassemble the spouts to replace the washers.
Tools:
non-marring pump pliers
flat blade screw turn
teflon tape

Yeah sounds like the seals are just old, went hard and broke up, won't need to buy a whole new set of taps, just the o-rings/washers.
As for getting it off, not sure about those taps but have you tried unscrewing the the base that connects with the tile, in my experience that usually holds the whole assemble to the wall.
As the other anon has mentioned, turn the water off first unless you like getting drenched.
Also clean your fucking tiles man, Jesus.

Theres a hex screw near the base. I got that off.and anf tried to skip it off but it wouldnt budge.
Yeah that crap keeps coming back. It was never there until this started so I told my wife a few months ago don't bother until I fix it and ive kept putting it off.
