We have a CYV built in 2011. One of the showers will not turn off. We have shut the water off to the whole house but are wondering if there is a way to shut it off to just the one bathroom.

There are no valves to shut off the water to a bathroom or even to a shower. I would suggest removing the shower head and screwing on a plastic cap with a washer. It sounds like you may need a new mixing valve in the shower. Personally, I would call a plumber because this project can be tricky and can result in a leak inside the wall if it is not done properly. I recommend Mike Scott Plumbing.

Most likely the cartridge has failed, can be DIY if knowledgeable? IF not just call plumber as suggested, Mike Scott pretty reliable.
Google search 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. |

In 2019 I had a contractor replace my shower and bathtub faucets with Delta products. I kept the work order that had the part numbers. One started to drip last year and the other just a few months ago. I contacted Delta and provided them with a copy of the work order, and they sent me new cartridges because they warranty their products for 10 years. 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.

I put a shower volume control shut-off valve on my shower in my RV to conserve water. Unscrew your hose/head, screw the valve on, and then reattach the hose/head to the valve. I like it because when we are dry camping (boondocking), you can get the water temperature right, then shut it off with the valve while you soap up, and then turn it back on to rinse off. If I used the handle, I'd have to get the temperature adjusted again. Cost about $10 from Amazon when I bought it several years ago.

NEW HOME OWNER HINT: Call Delta and tell them your shower is dripping, give them the model number and they will send you parts for repair free. Do the same for the other fixtures in your home.Then when they do start to drip you have the parts. |

If the cartridge doesn't come with it, buy a small tube of silicone "plumber's" grease and lightly lubricate the cartridge before sliding it back into the valve body. Make a note of the position of the cartridge as you pull it from the valve body and insert the new cartridge in the same position. If not, you will reverse the direction to turn the valve when selecting hot or cold water. If you make this mistake, the new valve will work fine, but you will have to get used to turning it clockwise for hot water which is opposite of what is normal. I made the mistake and lived with it for 10 years before we moved. This was not a problem at home, but did cause some surprises when we stayed at hotels! My wife didn't appreciate my laughing and the persons in the adjoining room didn't appreciate her shrieks when she would turn the handle to change the temperature of the water while in the shower. |
