If it's not leaking around the stem, you can also just replace the rubber washer. Take the valve apart like handymanct said, and remove the screw on the back of the stem to get the old washer off. The washers come in different sizes and are either flat or cone shaped.
If there's anything left of the old washer, you might be able to read the size stamped into one side, it should look something like "00" or "1/4M"
You can get a washer assortment from places like Lowe's (here's one example) or a hardware store.
You might also want to grind the valve seat while it's apart. Look inside the valve where the washer presses against the opening and see if it's corroded or pitted. If it is, the valve won't seal well even with a new washer. You can use a faucet seat grinder like this (possibly available at a hardware store) to smooth the surface.
Delta. Depending on precisely what it is doing you probably only need to replace rubber seals and springs. They look like this. A full repair kit containing all serviceable parts looks like this. Never a bad idea to apply some silicone plumbers grease to the rubber wear parts before reassembly. There's really no way to change the valve body without opening the wall and replumbing. Replacing the whole valve body can be done from the wet side without re-tiling. That process looks like this
The rubber goes against the seat. Some are/were replaceable or could be reground.
