Frequently asked questions
Is it a cartridge or the whole valve?
Many shower problems are fixed with a new cartridge. If the valve body is damaged or very old, replacing the valve is the better repair.
Will you need to open the wall?
Sometimes. Where there is an access panel from an adjoining room, we use it. Otherwise we explain the options before cutting.
