How often should you replace the shower valve?
Though not a plumber, I can say that shower valves are usually made of brass(a very good material). Therefore they are also expensive to replace (50 dollars for the valve, 150 dollars per shower valve if done by a competent plumber). Therefore, when you notice a leak coming from your shower, try to replace the seat washer (usually the hot water side needs to be replaced first). If you still have a leak, it's time to replace the shower valve.

If you have selected a unit that has attached walls included than you will not have to worry about doing this. Step 7. Inspect the plumbing to the shower unit. If the pipes are in poor condition, you may want to have a professional contractor replace these for you. Step 8. Install your new walk-in bathtub and shower unit by falling the manufacturer’s installation instructions that are included with the new unit. All drain hoes and plumbing outlets must be properly aligned. If there are problems lining up the plumbing, you may want to contact a plumbing contractor in your area to help with this step. Step 9.
