I made a mistake by having my boyfriend help me with a master bathroom renovation.
The two of us did a pretty good job for not being plumbers.
The issue is that we don’t really know what we are doing. My boyfriend installed the shower plumbing. He got the drain moved and did the controls. He must have messed up something with the controls though. We put tile over top of all the work, grouted, and caulked. Then I ran my shower for over a year before I started noticing leaks. My shower head always leaks now. It is a huge pain in the butt. I have googled and done more research to find that the control must be a mess. To access it tile needs to be removed and then the guts of the shower are taken out. That doesn’t sound like a DIY project. I have asked my boyfriend to do it but he is scared to tackle something of that magnitude. I totally get it. So I am now on the hunt for a licensed plumber to do some shower work for me. I want him to access the shower controls and fix it. I just want the leaks gone and not to worry about it anymore. I want to be able to pay someone to make my problems go away. I am actually hoping he will put a new tile back up for me if I supply the material. I don’t want to lift a finger and possibly screw something up. I know I won’t be doing home renovations again.
