shower

I need to get the knob off this shower valve so I can tighten it up. The valve itself is tight and works well, it is only the knob that is loose, but I can't see a way to remove it. There is no brand identification anywhere on it. Nor are there any screws or other fasteners visible. If I...

First off - what a great forum this is, I'm lucky to have found it. I imagine this is an easy question for some, but as I'm a DIY homeowner I want to make sure I get some advice. We're renovating a small square bathroom with a small walk in shower. There was a wall separating the side of the...

Hi all, Thanks in advance for any help here. We are doing a bathroom remodel and I feel like everyone I talk to gives me a different answer--even employees at the same plumbing supply store. I'm hoping to arrive at some sort of consensus. Our bathroom is completely torn apart, but here is a...

I like the old push-pull valves because I can control water pressure with them, and I don't have to turn the knob through the "cold" region when turning off the water. Is it crazy to install one in my new shower? Do they even sell them anymore?

Hey Everyone, Hoping you can help me troubleshoot an issue. I just finished installing an aquatic A2 4 piece tub with surround. Unfortunately, after I already had the drywall patched up I noticed that there is some creaking when pressure is applied around the drain. Not sure how I missed that...

Hello! We’re renovating our bathroom, our plan is to gut the entire thing. However, we’re stuck on what to do about the plumbing for shower/tub. Currently they share the same wall for head/faucets. Our plan is to relocate shower to opposite wall (since we’re taking out the dividing wall it’s...

I'm remodeling my master bathroom and going with a Kerdi channel drain and larger shower extending to where we used to have a sink. I tied the new drain where the sink drain used to be. I'm wondering whether the vent should have been connected closer to the p-trap. This is the first time I do...

Hi everyone, yesterday we noticed after 3 consecutive showers a little bit of water dripping from our main floor chandelier. We found the culprit to be coming from the upstairs bathroom. After running the toilet, and sink we realized the leak was not coming from those amenities. Not to mention...

We have installed a 62" freestanding tub in our small bathroom, replacing the old surround fixture. It is 3" from the back wall and 5-6" from the walls on either side (head/foot of tub). Due to COVID and the upcoming unavailability of help I rushed getting the floor tile, tub drain, and tub...

When replacing the drain on a bathtub, should there be space between the rubber gasket on top of the PVC and the bottom of the tub?

I'm trying to replace the stems and handles in our tub after the shower handle essentially stripped and could only be turned on and off with pliers; and the pliers slowly stopped being effective as the valve stem itself started getting stripped. No clue as to what brand we have, but the...

DIY Guy remodeling my master bath. Planned to do everything except the shower mortar bed bc it just seemed too tricky. SO...I had some not-so-great tile guys build the mud bed for my shower. They installed drain, pan liner and did the mud bed. They messed it up, isn’t level and not sloped...
