Just bought a house and despite having an inspection, my inspector clearly missed this. The main bathroom has no hot water in the shower. I had my plumber come and check it out. He thought it just needed a new cartridge but unfortunately that is not the case. When he took off the shower handle and opened the valve to the hot water, nothing came out. Not even a trickle. He thinks something may be blocking it. His only solution is to rip out tiles and replace shower body. The previous owner of the house does not have any tiles stored in his garage so now I have to goto a tile place and see if they can possibly find a match. This whole thing is disheartening because we thought the bathroom didnt need to be touched when we moved in and the unforeseen expense of all the work (appx $2k).
I called the inspector and he has been very helpful. He is actually going to come to the house Monday to take a look at everything. I do have access to the kitchen sink which is behind the bathroom shower. I asked the plumber if he can do the work from there (ripping out the sheetrock inside the cabinet) but he said no.
I cant imagine why no water is coming from the hot water. Good news is we have another shower downstairs but would like to get this fixed.
PS Yes there is hot water coming out of every other faucet and shower.
