Need to ID & replace ceramic shower cartridge (PHOTOS) to save many $. Thanks!
I am trying to find a replacement cartridge for shower unit manufactured in 2004. There is no name brand I can see. Dripping water revealed cartridge fell apart after years of service - some green plastic chunks visible. Unusual ceramic face in cartridge not found locally and hoping to replace so pipes (Korean) & water handle do not need replacing with plastic shower unit wall removed and refit (estimated at $1000 including labor) for the sake of a $5 cartridge! Note - 2 white framed frosted glass sliding doors removed after falling out of shallow runners in white metal beam so not visible in photo! Any model # &/or manufacturer for cartridge or shower & bath unit would be great. Also, if any ideas where to get the cartridges would be much appreciated. We tried really hard and got nowhere.Thank you for all your time & efforts, everyone, whether you can be of help or not!
