Bathroom Fixtures
I have a 30+ year old house. The bathroom fixtures in the shower are very
old. It is an all tile wall, can I replace the fixtures without breaking into the walls? I could never match the light green tiles. -- HomeBrewer http://home.earthlink.net/~t3e871/index.html www.rcparkflyers.com Remove the xxx to reply! |

But it would still be a *huge* job and could easily result in tile damage anyway. 30 yr old fixtures, you may be able to find replacement hardware. If not OEM then some generic parts (handles, escutcheons). Jim |

Bathroom Fixtures
HomeBrewer,
Do you have access to the back of the shower wall? How do you plan to cut the old fixture out? They sell some neat access panels that can be put in place after the work is complete.Both of my shower fixtures have closets behind. If and when I replace fixtures it's access panel time. -- Best Regards, Dennis J Sunday Home Inspection Systems Www.homeinspectionsystems.com "HomeBrewer" wrote in message ink.net...
