We have nearly finished our full and half bath remodels. However, one eyesore remains in both bathrooms. Prior, we had all polished brass fixtures (faucetry, etc.) and have switched to stainless/ satin nickel. I hope I am using the correct wording as this is what I want to do. I want to change the water inlet and shut off valve to at least a chrome look, as it is now polished brass and looks pretty tacky. I think I have seen the chrome/ silver toned valves and braided supply lines at home stores, but how do I change the actual pipe coming out of the wall? Pulling the finish/ cover ring out from around the pipe, it comes from a small hole in the drywall. I am assuming that one has to cut out the drywall to get back in the wall and solder a new chrome piece on there? Is that correct? The drywall still needs some patching and wood trim still has to be put in, so not a big deal if I have to cut into it- just not sure what all it entails. The house was built in 1996 if that helps and it is a standard toilet. Thanks in advance.
