I have this old old old faucet and lever, came with the house, its broken the faucet button wont even go down anymore because of the build up no matter how much ive soaked and cleaned with clr this michigan water is so hard on my shower and everything is leaking i need to replace this entire thing. Redoing my whole tub and wall is not in the budget for me, (believe me I know I need to just tear it down and rebuild but I cant) what I can do is replace this ceusty broken faucet and lever but I need your guys help to do so. The clear part pulls right off as well and the screw is stuck on there, yet another reason i need to replace not just clean it up. What brand is this? The faucet same brand? And do I HAVE to replace the lever with another one that goes up to turn on, then left or right for temp, or can I replace it with a lever that just goes left to right? I really would prefer one thats just left to right i hate these old push up ones.. please and thank you.

Yes, you can get a delta trim kit with the lever and it will work fine.
And a Delta rebuild kit, with a brass or stainless steel ball (NOT a plastic ball)
The tub spout can be any brand once you unscrew to see how it is connected.

Thank you so much! What is a rebuild kit?

Ok i see what a rebuild kit is.. another question, sorry im ignorant about this.. but.. does it absolutely HAVE to be a delta? Or can I use say a moen with the 2 screws on the bottom? Asking because 90% of the deltas i can find online (amazon, walmart, google, menards, lowes) they mostly have the screws on the sides diagonally.. obviously i cant use any of those.. am I just really limited because of my very old house so delta doesnt really make them with the screws on the bottom anymore?
