ShowerValve is a referral service, not a contractor. We connect homeowners with independent contractors. Contractors are required to hold whatever credential their state or municipality demands, and valve work opening a wall is often a permitted alteration — ask to see the permit. We carry out no work, we sell no valves, we do not set prices, and we never charge homeowners anything — the contractors in our network pay us when we route them a call. The maximum water temperature is set by your local code, not by this website.

What points to the body rather than the trim

Water appearing inside the wall, in a ceiling below, or a handle that turns without changing anything, all point past the trim. None of them are fixed by a new escutcheon.

Cartridge or valve body

A shower that drips is usually the cartridge, which is a part. A shower that will not hold a temperature when a tap runs elsewhere is usually the valve, which is behind the wall.
