Access is the cost
Replacing a valve body usually means opening the wall behind it, or working from the other side. Ask which, and who makes it good, before the work starts.
Why the temperature swings
A valve that is not pressure-balanced sees the cold side drop when something else draws cold water, and the mix at the head follows it. That is the fault anti-scald valves were introduced to remove.
