  • Title of the video should be "repairing a loose shower valve and installing new tile" click bait link.

  • Looking for a video showing a fix from the front. Need to stabilize my bathtub faucets and sprout water pipe(s).

    Fixing from the back wall is not an option.

  • I want my 4 minutes back. You idiots didn't show how to replace a valve; you showed how to replace a tile. Morons.
