This is most likely due to the cartridge being worn out. Feel free to call me at 1-800-334-0455. Press 2 for technical and ask for David. I'll be glad to help.
hi there:) your problem is caused by the cartridge inside the valve body. could be one of 3 things...1)the cartridge is damaged 2)hard water build up 3)foreign matter. it is not to difficult to replace it yourself: first turn off the water then find the set screw, which holds the handle in place, usually located at the base of the handle and remove it. (look closely/carefully cause it's hiding) then remove the escutcheon ring and the trim sleeve to expose the "bonnet" (lock ring) and remove it. (ritey titey lefty loosey) now you can remove the cartridge and inspect it for debris/damage. if you need a new one just take it w/you to any plumbing supply including home depot and/or lowes and they will help you find it. here is the installation/owners manual from peerless: http://peerless-faucet.com/customer-support/find-repair-parts/documentation/P8760.html hope this helps but if you need anything else just ask:)
Need to replace your internal seals inside the shower valves.
Go to Home Depot, Lowes,etc. and make sure you take your model number and maker of your shower and they can get you the parts to repair the valves to stop your leak.
If you do not repair it soon, the water leaking by will cut your metal seat and it will never stop dripping, you will have to replace the valve and it is a MAJOR job.

Solution 1 from Rico did work but it required the use of pliers in each hand to apply enough pressure to hold the top part in place and to pull on the bottom part down. It took several attempts but it came apart.
I don't know what type of faucet you have. If you try to pry start from the back of the faucet. That way if you mess up the chrome (or other finish) it won't be so obvious. And make sure the water is turned off.
Good luck!
sounds like you need to replace the valve seats. if you shut the water off and remove the handles you will see the valves. you have to remove them and under that you should see these little black things. they come out but have springs under them so be careful. the black things are the valve seats. i would start by replacing them
It even has pictures, which will really help since we all forget about the one screw (that's fastened from underneath the sink in the middle of the faucet assembly) which holds it onto sink.
Don't forget - only licensed plumbers are allowed to display their "plumbers crack" while working, (all others have to keep it covered!)
