Easily remove and fix your tub spout with vinegar. Increase shower water pressure. If your bathtub has a showerhead, your shower valve redirects water from the showerhead to the tub faucet. When it’s not working, water simultaneously pours from both outlets. It’s easy to fix, so let’s learn how. Shower valves have two parts:
A tub spout for filling the tub.
A diverter gate – the little knob you twist, turn, or pull to direct your water. Your vinegar wash will only clean the visible parts of your spout. When you want to stop your handheld showerhead from leaking, you need to clean the inner parts of your diverter gate.

Step 1: Turn off your water supply from the main spigot. This prevents flooding.
Step 2: Inspect your spout to see how it’s attached to the wall. There are three common styles:
A single screw under the spout
A threaded pipe that screws onto the wall
A pop-in pipe that slides onto the wall and locks in place.
Step 3: Remove the spout according to its type:
If it’s a screw-on, remove the screw then pull out the spout.
If it’s threaded, turn it anticlockwise until it comes off.
If it’s a pop-on, use a screwdriver or palette knife to gently pry it off the wall.
Step 4: Look inside the spout and use a rasp or sandpaper to scrape off any visible dirt or stains. You can also scrape off the dirt using a paste of vinegar and baking soda. Apply the paste onto the dirty parts of the spout, let it sit for half an hour, then rinse it off.
Step 5: Fill a metal dish with vinegar and water. It should be enough to completely cover your spout, right up to its base.
Step 6: Put the spout inside your vinegar mixture and leave it for three to four days. Once a day, remove the spout and check it, using a rag or old toothbrush to scrape off loose dirt.
Step 7: Once it’s spotless, dry it with a clean rag and add some Teflon tape to the tip.
Step 8: Put your spout back onto its copper pipe.
Step 9: Reconnect your water supply and run your water to see if you’ve fixed the leak.
At this point, you have a shower spout that looks brand new, so if it’s still not working, you may have to throw it out and buy another shower diverter kit.
