Our house was built 35 years ago and has the original 3 handle valves.
Recently the tub spout fell off due to rust so now we cannot use it.
The valves still work but probably should be replaced and are ugly.
I also understand this configuration is now illegal and difficult to adjust the temperature.
I am thinking the best option is a conversion like this:
I am under the impression it will cost about $500 which I am ok with.
This way we do not have to replace the wall which is solid surface cultured marble.
I am a DIY type but this is way beyond my ability.
I am not sure if it makes any sense to keep the 3 handles and replace the valves and handles?
I remember years ago replacing some parts not sure if was the whole valve or just parts of it.
Thanks for any advice.
