WWWW/MND?
I have a slight dilemma. We have a front bathroom that looks like this: 
Yesterday, the faucet control for the shower snapped off, literally, leaving us with no the way to turn water off/on in that shower.
So, we need to decide how we want to handle it. We can just outright replace the handle and leave it be. Or we can hold off, not have a second shower for guests (who are few and not likely to be overnighters) until the summer when I am done with school and we have the time and money to do a very simple remodel. it would just be new tile for the shower and floor and a new vanity.
To be fair, I hate, hate, hate the tile in there now. It is gray/brown, uneven in texture, and always looks wet and dirty. The grout is two different colors, dirty brown on the floor, grey in the shower.
So, what would you do?

I can't wait for the "im getting a divorce" post in 5 years or so because your husbands were fed up with your disgusting chair asses from playing on the knot all day and getting fired 4-5 times for not doing any work. you guys are all winners!! ~ Laur929
Well, it is one of the one valve types with a cassette/cartridge insert that needs a plumber to put it in. I forgot to mention that.
The thing has always been wonky, our contractor took a look at it and said he could have repaired/adjusted it some, but that it would take him a few hours because of the lack of this special tool. So we decided to let it slide since the shower gets little use right now.
In that case, I'd let it slide until summer.
and replace it w/ something that doesn't require special tools. :-P
