"How to repair a shower valve in a tile wall" - oh, just walk around to the backside of the wall. Not helpful! We want to see how you replace it when you have to go through the tile.
There’s a video for this! You’ll have to make a larger hole in the tile to work on/replace the valve, but they make large cover plates to cover the hole. OR if you can get access behind, they make access panel covers to easily cover the drywall hole and allow for future repair access.
@@clovisgauthier3602 yes thank goodness for closets behind showers. I was able to repair a leak myself by cutting a drywall panel out in the closet. Now I have great access for when I do finally remodel the bathroom.
Usually when you get a plumber, he is not going to get a tile guy to work together. He will break the tile to fix the plumbing. Then you will have to figure how to get the tile repaired.
thank you for video and encouragement. i installed new seat, stem. in turned the stem in by hand. i then tighten the nut by hand, then tighten the packing nut to turn the stem in a bit tighter.but i had to tighten a bit more because water would drip downward off stem behind the tile stem. so i tightened it slowly until the drip stopped. but then it made the handle that turns off water uncomfortably tight, not as easy as with the old stems. i am stuck. tighten the nut so no drip, but a little bit more then the handle is uncomfortably tight. Help?
...And if you do not have access to the back of the wall containing the pipes??? Another case of TOH making a task look MUCH easier than it really will be.
That is the hard situation... hire a pro plumber as it will involve cutting the tiles and covering with a new scutcheon plate... or redoing the tile work... I know, ugh...
Looking for a video showing a fix from the front. Need to stabilize my bathtub faucets and sprout water pipe(s). Fixing from the back wall is not an option.
if it's tile like this and you don't mind having to completely re-tile the wall there, you can do it that way, otherwise, it's easier to do it from the back.
How about trying to not damage original 1974 one-piece seamless tub and shower surround, while replacing original stems, seats, and other stuff.... can't just go around to behind it, no open access.
You just show the easy ones, I'm in the Phillipines and they use burn proof housing materials called concrete. How do I do it when the valve is connected to 1/2" threaded galvanized pipe imped in the wall?
seems like a bit of overkill to remove the tile. To save your customer some money on a tiler why not either tighten the flange and a nice bead of silicone or just a bigger flange?
+DM Stevens No, he did listen and he is correct. There is more than enough access from the rear to secure the pipe from vibration and re seal with silicone, this job is waaaay overdone.
So taking a few minutes to remove-replace the tile, which was nearby and an exact match, and completely eliminate the problem forever is overkill? If your solution is to just "slap on more gobs of silicone" please stay away from my house.
Actually the best way to eliminate the problem forever would be to install new plumbing. The home owner has pointed out that they find leaks here and there. Just saying.
These projects are lot more fun when you have a backup bathroom in the house.
Yeah. Currently in a similar predicament. 😑
Ain't that the truth, I have another bathroom but not another shower lol
Yeah I've been showering in the guest bathroom lol mines has a leak
Thank you buddy for teaching me how to replace a tile don’t worry about the leaking valve I will call a plumber 👍🏽
😂
Never seen a shower valve repaired like that, thanks guys👌
If you can’t get to the back side like this and it’s tiled surround, 3 words moen Reno plate genius really works awesome 👌
RIP Joe Ferrante. Skilled guy!
what happened to him?
he dieded @@eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee-s3p
Thanks guys
I enjoyed these shows.
I guess we'll worry about the water cutoff and cartridge when we get there 😂
Nice work. I'd have liked to see you set the tile too, because that seems like a tricky part to leave out. Still, I learned something.

The shower was never replaced idiot...
There’s a video for this!

@@jnesper7 Yeah that's what I ended up doing... take enough tiles off to replace the valve, then cover the damage with a decorative "renovation plate"
@@jnesper7 Yes, my plumber did this thank God. Left an access panel in the walk in closet behind the bathtub.
@@clovisgauthier3602 yes thank goodness for closets behind showers. I was able to repair a leak myself by cutting a drywall panel out in the closet. Now I have great access for when I do finally remodel the bathroom.
What do you fill the empty space behind the big shower valves with? Mortar? Silicon? Grout? Tile adhesive?
You leave the"big" hole so a mouse can make a nest in it.😮😂

It’s so easy to put in a tile though
Nice work by all but I would be wearing gloves to protect the hands when chiseling out those tile pieces that do get VERY sharp.
Yea, what do you do if it’s on an outside wall on the second story?
Thanks for your video

2:15 right through the bottom of the tub
I cant even remove the knob on my shower because none of my allen keys fit the grub screw hole. Failed at step 1, man I just suck
Same here i have an access panel in the back tho so i may be onto something here
Can you tell me what make this Valve apparatus is and why I can not loosen the front PLEASE?
Oh yeah, oh yeah. I do that when I use my drill too. Working with galvannized pipes and I give up.
did i miss it? You did not show replacing the valve, only the tile
What is the new one . With the sub one and the handle
...And if you do not have access to the back of the wall containing the pipes??? Another case of TOH making a task look MUCH easier than it really will be.
Then it's time to buy a new house.
That is the hard situation... hire a pro plumber as it will involve cutting the tiles and covering with a new scutcheon plate... or redoing the tile work... I know, ugh...
Just burn the whole house down

I’m watching this in the bathroom.
Title of the video should be "repairing a loose shower valve and installing new tile" click bait link.
I have two showers back to back both walls tiled. So I can't access any of this.
Hi I have a question for a different project. How can I connect lead to copper?
No you can not.
Yeah you don’t 😊
How about trying to not damage original 1974 one-piece seamless tub and shower surround, while replacing original stems, seats, and other stuff.... can't just go around to behind it, no open access.
Dose anyone know if u should culk around the fixture after you're done mine's not tile it's regular compact boarding or whatever
Rip Joe
Also, they should have pointed out not to put plumbers putter completely around the cover.
"So how'd you guys make out?" @ 3:56 Wow, word choice...
To make it even better, go to 2:43
The dude with the red shirt on the thumbnail looks SUPER sketchy! XDDD
That video is about" how to replace a tile around a shower valve" 🤣🤣
I was trying to make a L4D2 map how did i end up here
3:57, Get the hell outta here!
wow, I have a REAL problem. my valve is leaking into the floor.
Why theres "writing on the wall" that covers 3/4 of video
The classic line 'let's take a look from the other side'!!! Most valves are fitted to an external wall so this aint going to work.
Replaced cartridge but water keeps running
You forgot to replace the valve 🤷🏼♀️
And only replaced a tile
The valve wasn't the problem, the water leaked because the hole in the tile was to big.
@@johnmoffo2481 Yeah, but when the video is named "Ho to Repair a Shower Valve...". That's kind of what you expect to see.
how to tear a wall out? where's the part about valve repair
You just show the easy ones, I'm in the Phillipines and they use burn proof housing materials called concrete. How do I do it when the valve is connected to 1/2" threaded galvanized pipe imped in the wall?
Thanks and good day
how do you not have an access panel to your pipes?
When in concrete you chisel them out.
safffff1000. vivir 2 blhfq% 2 vi2jl
you ever figure it out?
Gapping holes are never good. haha
Now repair it with the sheetrock/tile installed.
I can fix this without broken any tile in 10 min. easy.
Is this a video on how to repair a shower valve?....no it is not, this video corrected a tile setters bullshit job.
Agreed. After watching the video I realized the title has nothing to do with what I watched.
You did not replace or repair a valve as stated in the title - clickbait
that is a hack valve installation...no need to have 3/4 lines feeding it.
looked like 3/4 ....why are the risers that high?
Did he mark the front of the tile with a sharpy? A permanent marker? Ok. Wonder how he got it off
Rubbing alcohol
you coulda just silicone around the front plate and called it a day. Wont move and water tight.
seems like a bit of overkill to remove the tile. To save your customer some money on a tiler why not either tighten the flange and a nice bead of silicone or just a bigger flange?
+Marlon Dias you did not listen.....the original hole in tile was too big. and water was leaking around the opening..
+DM Stevens No, he did listen and he is correct. There is more than enough access from the rear to secure the pipe from vibration and re seal with silicone, this job is waaaay overdone.
So taking a few minutes to remove-replace the tile, which was nearby and an exact match, and completely eliminate the problem forever is overkill? If your solution is to just "slap on more gobs of silicone" please stay away from my house.
The work is done for free .
Actually the best way to eliminate the problem forever would be to install new plumbing. The home owner has pointed out that they find leaks here and there. Just saying.
Correction ....how to repair the tile..... not the valve smh
I can fix this without broken any tile in 10 min. easy.
