    I want to change the look of my bathtub faucet
    My bathtub faucet consist of 2 knobs (hot/cold water) and the spout. The covers were Price Pfister. I need only these parts and want to change to Moen. Can I just buy a Moen tub kit?

    Yes you can but you will also need a Moen chrome remodle plate, (see image) to cover the holes. Good luck and thank you for rating my answer. Tom

    Hi streetsmith27

    Are you asking if u can change the handles?Most handles are not interchangeable from company to company. There are handles that are made=universal handles=that would work.
    U would be able to find them at home depot or similar store.

    Good luck

    You cannot put Moen trim on PP faucet. You have to stay with the brand. Today, PP makes variety of trims that will make your faucet look like new.

    If you want to go with Moen, than you will have to cut into the wall and replace entire body. It is substantially more work than previous option.

    Thanks everyone, I have called a plumber to make the change. Luckie for me the walls are already open from the present renovations.
