We receive a lot of inquiries from folks looking to replace their shower controls.
IF you want to replace your outdated shower controls, as well as your shower tile, including the valve in your wall, you have your pick of the litter from what’s currently available on the market. Feel free to go to the showers section of our website to get ideas about different styles and finishes.
But if you’re not going to disturb your wall tile, then your valve (the water control system inside your wall, behind your shower control) will need to be identified. But don’t worry, we can help you with that. It’s very important to know the manufacturer of your shower control(s) in order for a professional to determine what replacement options are available to you, if any. The simplest way to accomplish this is to email or bring to our showroom a digital photo of the controls you want replaced and more often than not, we can determine this for you. Some controls are replaceable with a few style and color options, sometimes in color only, and sometimes they are not changeable at all. The reason for this is that the valve in your wall is specific to fit its trim mate. They are generally not interchangeable and fit like fingerprints together.
