plumbing help !!!
Shower in our soon to be retirement house has had a drip that has been driving me nuts . It is a Delta two handle pretty straight forward to repair . Went to HD today and bought new valve inserts and seats/springs .
Went to remove the handles and escutchions all went well . Pulled the old valve inserts and seats/springs no problems . Went to install the new when I heard a clunk and then something hitting the floor in the wall . The dumba$$ builder/plumber apparently placed a board between the shower valve body and the fiberglass shower but didn't attach it to anything !!! So it fell down . No access without cutting a hole in the bedroom wall .
I just need something to stabilize the valve body so when I tighten up the escutchions there is something to tighten up against . The only thing that comes to mind is shooting some Great Stuff foam or similar. Even though the valve body is flopping around I turned the water on and the drip is solved . I really don't want to cut an access panel at this time as I am not planning on replacing the shower valve . Any other suggestions ?
