Spout Pull Down Diverter that has a pretty persistent drip. The HOT and COLD handles are turned off and seem to be as tight as they can be. After doing some research online I believe what I actually have is the Delta Universal Fit Chrome Diverter Tub Spout. In order to fix this drip does the complete tub spout need to be replaced? It doesn't seem to be expensive at all and seems to be the simplest route to go. I just wanted to be sure i'm not missing another solution to my problem

If your Delta RP17453 Pull-Down Diverter Tub Spout stops dripping after 5 minutes, your ok. If it never stops dripping, you need to replace delta faucet cartridge(s) behind the handle(s). This is were the water turns on and off and stops the water flow to the tub spout.
Delta faucets are some of the easiest to repair, and parts are usually available at any hardware store or home center. If you have a two handle faucet, replace both delta seats and springs and stems. If you have a single handle Delta faucet, replace the entire cartridge.
