Step 1 · Preparation and Safety

Begin by ensuring a safe and prepared work area. Locate the main water shut-off valve for the house and turn it completely off. To drain the remaining water from the system, open the faucet at the lowest point in the house (like a basement sink) and the shower faucet you are replacing. Lay down a drop cloth in the tub or shower base to protect the surface from scratches and debris. Gather all necessary tools and materials, and put on your safety glasses and work gloves.
