My Bathtub has a lever that has to be pushed down to let the water out. The ouse is 30+ years old. The lever now has to be held down constantly to let the water out. How do I repair this? Will I need access to the back of the wall the head of the tub is butted up against? I ask the second question because the previous owner seems to have covered it up with drywall.
If the lever is in a roundish plate with two screws it may be a standard trip-lever-plate assembly. They wear out and can be easily replaced. Take the two screws out and carefully withdraw the whole stopper mechanism in an upward direction. Almost any hardware or plumbing store will have a new trip lever plate.
