How do you fix a shower that suddenly stopped working?
Remove the shower head. Cut on the water. If the open pipe provides water than use a rust remover in your shower head or replace it.ANS 2 - If that doesn't work, shut off water at stop valves or even main if necessary, then remove the handle and valve body from shower. Look carefully for sediment or rust plugging up the top orifice. -That's almost always the solution in cases where it stops suddenly. If the shower head plugs up it generally happens gradually over days or even weeks.

Can you use a tub and shower faucet for a shower with no tub?
Many tub/shower valves are designed to be used either as a tub only or as a tub-shower combo. You will note that the valves have inlets on the sides for the hot & cold water supply, and outlets top and bottom for directing water either to the tub or diverted to the shower head. By plugging the bottom outlet with the appropriate plug and either soldering or wrapping the threads with teflon tape, the valve directs the water to the shower head.
