Sorry if this issue has already been addressed – I coulnd’t find it.
So, here’s the deal. The faucet (for my tub and shower) popped out from the wall. Initially, I thought I could just shove it back into the wall and caulk it – guess not!!!!
Please, how do I fix this (hopefully without having to remove tile & drywall).
It sounds as if the valve may not have been properly secured to the wall studs. There may have been a piece of blocking that just dropped out of position, allowing the valve/faucet to spring out of position. If that is the case, you probably will have to open the wall. Go from the back side to avoid having to rework the tile. Let us know how you resolve your problem.
