We need to rip out a one-piece fiberglass tub/surround unit and redo the bathroom, but can't do it all at once. I figure we will have to shut the water to the house off to demo the tub, since we can't locate any shutoff valves, but would like to be able to turn it on after that until we're ready for the new fixtures etc to be installed. Can I cap the pipes or something?
We have two other bathrooms that we need to keep functional. Plus the washer is in that same bath; I'd like be able to use it.
It's possible to access the plumbing by removing the drywall in the adjoining room; but we had it opened 4 or 5 years ago and I don't recall seeing any shut-off valves. Do you think we should take a look anyway?
