Default Shower faucet replacement.

Do they make new washerless faucets with the same layout as this pic of an old washer style faucet?

I've got one just like this one in the pic and I think this is what is leaking inside the wall. It's probably the divertor because the washer hasn't been replaced in a decade at least (40 yr old faucet). I can't get the handle off of it anyway. Do they still sell similar style faucets? I don't want to screw with retiling the shower or having a huge retrofit plate to hide the repair for a new single handle faucet. I can cut the drywall behind the faucet for all access. I'd like to replace the faucet in the same tile holes (hot. cold, divertor) with a modern faucet with replacement cartridges. I want to get away from the washers and retain the tile work.

Measure your centers (center to center on ea. control) & the brand - then check on-line to see what is available. You can try Lowes & HD, but you will find other specialty plumbing suppliers with just as good prices. Check E-Bay first & you might be able to get some comparable brands with the same centers. I have found even the oddest centering replacements (turned out one of my showers in a rental had a fixture out of a mobile home in its shower that was from the 70s), Might not find the cartridge type, but my last set with stems & seats lasted 15 years.

Your Gerber is pretty common & you could easily find stems & seats etc. to replace what was there too.

They've got 'em at HD and Lowes. I'll check ebay for deals though. They're a hundred bucks for a better known brand. I think I'll look for a Moen or Delta.

Thanks all.
