The water diverter, which redirects water from the tub to the shower head, is no longer working properly -- about half the water goes to the shower head and the other half comes out the faucet, which means that water is wasted because it goes straight down the drain. I've received conflicting advice about my options--repair the faucet, or replace it. Any plumbers out there?
This is an old claw-foot tub converted to a shower before I bought the house 25 years ago.
