I can cut and solder copper pipe pretty well, but is replacing the valve inside
a shower wall a job for a plumber?
There isn't much room in the wall after removing the front plate, and the other
side of the wall is a tiled bathroom also.
I was thinking that if I have to remove some tiles, (and break them) I could add
a matching style in a different color and make it look like it was done on
purpose.
A couple of years ago on Ask This Old House they did that. �They used a
valve that came with a large cover plate to cover the hole you had to cut
in the tile.

tile can be removed without breaking, i have done that myself.
