I have to change my shower handle, but the plumber asking me to change the shower valve also. But I can’t see any reason to replace the shower valve, is it really necessary to change it when changing shower handle.

Thanks.

This fixed the dripping shower head but now my shower handles are tight and difficult to turn and the water pressure is affected after replacing the o-rings. What could the issue be?

Try putting petroleum jelly all over the outside of the stem/cartridge (including the threading/grooves) before screwing it all back together. That will keep your handles turning smoothly, and easily.

It's the plumbing equivalent to WD40.

As for the change in water pressure, I'm not sure what that would be. Did you use the same size O-ring?

I have the same handles and stems, but leaking not from the rubber. Leaking occuring when tuning on the handle. Do you know where to find the parts?
