I just bought a condo and the previous owner did not maintain the place very well. I have had a lot of fun learning, replacing and fixing various things throughout. The baseboards were a trip.
When we moved in, the shower faucet handle was hanging just hanging in a fashion to where it could be pulled and removed with no resistance. The inner female end on the handle has been stripped pretty good (the inner stem [male end] is stripped too, but it think it can still be used). Further, the set screw in the handle has been broken off in the handle. I tried to drill it out and remove it with an extractor to no avail as it is too small.
My research has indicated I should try to find a replacement handle, before I try to replace the whole thing. Which, I think, will require me to take out a bunch of tile and ultimately replace all the tile. I would like to avoid that if I could.
I could not use a universal replacement handle as none fit. I think I need help identifying the manufacturer so I can get the correct handle. The faucet has no markings besides the "SA" (Canadian Standards Assoc.) and "UPC" (*Uniform Plumbing Code) on the face plate and I have linked the pictures below. Any help identifying the manufacturer (and model) would be greatly appreciated. My wife will not let me use a vice grips forever. Thanks.
