Cartridge repair or full valve replacement?
Many shower valve problems, such as a dripping shower head, a stiff handle or temperature swings, come from a worn cartridge or worn seals inside the valve. These parts can often be replaced from the front of the valve without opening the wall. When the valve body itself is cracked, corroded or leaking inside the wall, or when you want a different type of valve, the valve is replaced, which usually means opening the wall behind the shower.
Pressure-balancing valves keep the hot and cold mix steady when someone flushes a toilet or runs water elsewhere.
Thermostatic valves hold the temperature you set and often have a separate volume control.
Diverter valves send water to the tub spout, the shower head or another outlet.

Why does my shower suddenly turn cold or change temperature?
Sudden temperature changes usually point to a worn shower valve or cartridge that can no longer mix hot and cold water evenly. A lack of hot water can also come from the water heater, so the plumber checks both to find the actual cause.
Why is only a trickle coming out of my shower?
A weak flow can come from a failing shower valve, a worn or clogged cartridge, or a water pressure problem elsewhere in the home. Checking whether other fixtures are affected helps narrow down which one it is.
Can I replace a shower valve myself?
It is not a simple DIY job. Replacing a valve means shutting off the water, working on the supply connections inside the wall and setting the new valve correctly, and a mistake can cause leaks behind the wall.
