You don't need to turn the water off to the shower. Just don't have it running while doing the "fix". |
The shower head should not be getting any water to it when the valves are shut unless there is something wrong with the mixing valve/diverter.

If your shower is a Delta, the cartridge , that inserts has a lifetime guarantee--it must be replaced- we used CPM to replace the cartridge
Its not ,IMHO a do it yourself job, because water to the house must be turned off, if something goes wrong-you'll need a plumber |
There is no separate valve to turn off the shower, except the mixing valve. If the shower leaks continuously after turning it off, then you need a new mixing valve. That is NOT a DIY project. Call a plumber. If you just need a new shower head, it is easy to replace yourself, but I would not try to fix it. Just buy a new one. When installing a new shower head, make sure not to overtighten it. Use the Teflon tape and tighten it by hand, and if it leaks a little, use a wrench and give it a one quarter turn.
