I have a concealed shower thermostatic valve installed in my shower with a single outlet . I would like to replace it with a more traditional design to compliment the other fittings in my bathroom but do not want to do any retiling in the shower. I would like to know if it's possible to achieve this without having to remove any of the surrounding tiles.
