On jun 1 2013 if you prefer not to get into replacing the tile all shower valves can be replaced by removing the drywall plaster on the back of the shower wall to gain access.
Replacing a tile wall with bath faucet on it.
I just put the white plastic parts in the wall and tighten the screws till the plate is against the tiles.
I have an older price pfister bathtub faucet with separate porcelin handles that i d like to replace.
Even if you have a valve or faucet coming from the tiled portion of the wall you can still access it from the wall on the other side.
If it an old two handle and you are changing to a single lever style then replacing the tile is your best bet.
Is possible but you would need to be very careful.
Lay new tile floor over existing tile.
Install and wire vent fan.
The faucet is attached from behind the wall.
Clean existing tile floor.
Rewire for switch and vent fan.
This may be a bedroom closet or hallway that has a wall.
Add baseboard and window trim molding.
Cut out the drywall.
Cut hole in ceiling for vent fan.
Use the keyhole saw and carefully cut through the wall between the studs.
Many bathroom faucet replacement kits include new drains so take this opportunity to replace the drain pipe.
There is a small cap covering an allen head set screw at the base of the faucet.
Now that is it for the delta faucet replacement repair plate the rest of the chrome trim comes from the faucet you purchased.
Install your new faucets trim kit on top of the delta repair plate and you are done.
Install new bathroom vanity.
Patch holes in drywall.
Use the stud finder to locate the studs on an adjacent wall and mark them with the pencil.
Problem is that all three items are set into a tiled tub enclosure and i don t see how to replace them without breaking out the tile.
You would need to break the silicone seal between the tiles and the bath using a stanley knife of similar and then ease the bath out very slowly.
Paint walls and ceiling.
Attach faucet to vanity.
Remove peel and stick vinyl floor tile.
