single-handle shower that won't turn off is often due to a faulty cartridge or a problem with the valve itself. To fix it, you'll need to first shut off the water supply, then remove the handle and access the cartridge or valve. Replacing the faulty part should resolve the issue.
Exactly right, and fixed. Mike Scott to the rescue. Good work and reasonably priced for the weekend. Also, the repairman had to leave to get a different part, but we were not charged for the travel time.
