We are finishing a remodel our guest bathroom. The house was constructed in 1996 and the bathtub has a Delta Monitor single handle faucet with separate volume and temperature controls. The finish is shot and we want to replace it and in a stainless steel or brushed nickel finish. The cartridge needs replacing as well since it leaks a little from the faucet. The problem is we can't find anything even at our local plumbing supply. They tell me it is a model 1500 with a 1700 trim. Lowes has a kit from Danco, but it looks crummy and cheap and is not the correct handle. The cartridge has a hexagonal lug where the handle engages and all the new Delta stuff uses splines instead of the hexagonal lug. Does anyone have any idea where we can get just a trim kit to fulfill our wishes? Certainly that would be cheaper than getting a plumber to do this (I think there is enough room to pull and replace the valve through the tile hole behind the big trim plate without cutting a hole in the hallway wall to access from behind)???
