Anatomy of a Bathtub Tap

*Yawn*! I *need* to get to bed! However, I got the tap disassembled (farther than before, although perhaps still not far enough), photographed, and reassembled. I tightened everything *snug*, and I think the drip might even be less, although I didn't watch it very long. I've plugged the tub again, so I'll check in the morning again. (Although this time it won't be 12 hours... more like 7.) Hopefully it'll either hold now, or the store people will be able to recognize what we need from the photos.

If you are curious, here's the anatomy of my bathtub tap, behind, front, and dissected:


(Sadly that tag didn't contain any maker information, just a warning about excessive heat voiding the warranty.)


(This is the part that looks crumbly... looking at it again, I think if it goes, I just won't be able to turn the faucet on and off, but the water won't come blasting out.)












(I had trouble getting all the bits back in... I was worried I'd have to use the scary shower tomorrow morning! Thankfully it *did* go back in after a few tries.)
