My regards to all.
Son in law is renting a TH and somehow!!! someone broke off the water supply handle for the shower. He's unable to work and I'm retired with only SS income = necessity to be frugal.
Please refer to the attached photos. I'm not familiar with this type of setup. The 'name' on the plate seems to read 'UPC'. The white plastic that joins the handle and the plumbing was snapped into two parts.
So, it seems as though if we could find a replacement part that the portion that's still on 'the wall' could be removed with a socket wrench and the new assembly 'simply' screwed back in. (this is a dream I have). However, I suspect that there is more to getting this repair done.
Regardless, is this a fairly straight forward repair that I should be able to handle (I've dealt with several plumbing issues before but I don't have a great deal of experience).
This is the only bathroom available to him and his son. So, time to repair is also important which leads me to ask about a recommendation for buying the parts and for any alternatives.
Also, is there a temporary work around to get the water flowing until this is resolved?
Any and all comments or suggestions are appreciated.
