I replaced each one after shutting down the entire house (there aren’t any dedicated shut off valves for the shower or tub) and did the work myself in about 15 minutes.
Seriously, good for you. However, probably you are one of the 20% that can do such work. However, the 80% had better call a plumber. Wait, a lot of those residents are on fixed incomes. But “they” say that their is no inflation (many are drinking the no inflation kool aid when costs are up every where) so just suck it up friends!
