Valve Replacement Help for a Fiberglass Shower Kit?
I have a fiberglass shower (I do not know if you would call it a kit or an insert), and the valves and diverter need to be replaced. The hot water valve does not stop turning when you go to turn it off, cycling between on and off with scalding water, and the diverter is very tough to turn at all. How do I get to the valves in order to replace them, and how do I patch the fiberglass wall back up? Is this beyond a typical DIY project? If so, would a plumber patch the shower back up, or would I have to call in someone else as well?
Thanks!
