Unscrew Plumber Screw-Up

I recently removed a stall shower in a guest bathroom and installed a tub with faucets and overhead shower controlled by single swivel device. It looked fine – I even posted a favorable review of the plumber – until actually tried it. The device that controlled hot and cold water for the shower worked backwards. Hot water on top, cold water on the bottom. Finally got the plumber to return (not easy)he adjusted something inside the shower control and said it was fixed. That lasted for a few days – something must have slipped, now hot water is in the middle of the dial, cold on either side, plumber refuses to come back again. Anyone think they can fix this so it works properly?
What is the brand of the shower valve? Some brands allow you to turn the cartridge around to switch the hot/cold.
It sounds like the handle just slipped though. This is very easy fix.
low, that’s not a comment… that’s the longest run-on sentence in the history of this blog. Defiantly!
The reason I added my comment above was to hopefully let everyone know there are two sides to every story
I recently hired mjm plumbing to renovate my entire kitchen not only was mike professional his price was unbeatable I looked I have never had a problem getting him to come back he Took the time to explain everything to I also had an a neighbor with some major boiler issues and I recommended mike to them and they have never been happier not to mention he is real easy to deal with also I have never met a plumber who listens to what his customers want And makes sure they get what they pay for I know for us and or neighbor we will not use another plumber ever again if u need a plumber defiantly call mike@ 3478639230
I’ll come over & check it out for you if that’s OK with you 347-512-4869
sorry – I’m as bad as the plumber, I meant that the hot water was on the bottom. People would turn the handle all the way up, wait for the water to get warm, and wait and wait. Now I have instructions posted to alert them that hottest water is in the middle, adjust before getting in
