Hello All,

While trying to change a shower head in a Aquaglass tub/shower/spa
insert, it seems I managed to break the plumbing on the other side of
the shower head. My guess is the lunkhead that installed it all years
ago used PVC (or some other plastic) plumbing for the shower head
connection.

My question is, am I better off trying to access the plumbing from the
other side of the wall (drywall) or cut a circle around the shower
head, repair the plumbing, then use a fiberglass repair kit (or
something like that?)

I'm hesitatnt to open the drywall on the reverse side, as it is part
of another bathroom, and wallpapered, and the wall paper pattern will
most likely be impossible to locate, so I'm trying to avoid
wallpapering the other bathroom to service the plumbing in the first.

Many thanks!

Quietman
