Hi there,
I am a very frustrated do it yourselfer. I have completed almost all of my bathroom remodel. I completely gutted the bathroom, put in the drywall, did some plumbing, tile, paint, etc. I then made the HUGE mistake of not checking to see if the valves are interchangeable prior to putting the drywall on. So, right this second I have the "rough end" of my old buthtub valve sticking through my new tub surround and I have thrown out the old handle/plate used to open/close the valve. Is there anyway that I can put a new handle on it without knowing the brand? Or, could I just open the hole a little bit and put in a new valve from a new fixture set for the bathtub? I am so close to being done with this remodel and just want to get this done. Any help is appreciated! I could also take a picture and upload it somewhere.
