Hello everyone,
I just came across this forum and hope you can help me a bit.
We have bought a house and are currently renovating it, mostly doing the work ourselves where possible.
One of the bathrooms was renovated about 6 years ago and we want to keep it as it is.
However, we noticed that the diverter in the concealed shower valve, which switches water flow between the showerhead and the bathtub spout, no longer works correctly. The diverter pin is located under the lever and is difficult to move or adjust. Also, when using the shower, water still flows from the bathtub spout.
Is it possible to simply replace this part with a different valve, or does it have to be the exact same model?
I have very little experience with this and am unsure what to consider. It’s not just a matter of changing a regular faucet, which wouldn’t be a problem.

How is the tub actually filled?
Is it through the drain and overflow assembly or do you have a wall-mounted spout?
If the strainers (aerators) are dirty, the diverter valve often causes problems as well.
It’s best to completely unscrew the shower hose (at the wall) and remove the aerator from the spout so both have an unrestricted flow.
Trial and error helps.
