Ah!!! Thank you!! I think I found it - https://www.homedepot.com/p/Glacier-Bay-Aragon-Tub-and-Shower-Connector-RP90016/206131710 — after pulling apart, the cartridge seems fine, it’s just this extension piece that is the issue

I just wanted to follow up, I removed one of the other handles to see what was in there and got this:
This looks a bit different than other things that have been shared so far and not sure if this is a different process or whatnot?

So I just took it apart, and have these pieces — which looks so different from everything else that has been shared:

Yeah I’m leaning towards replacing all three handles and valves because I agree

Oh you’re fine! I bought the house two years ago (my first one). Built in the 50s and the previous homeowner of 30+ years did lots of DIY stuff. I do have access to the back, on the other side is the kitchen and specifically the gas stove. What more would need to be done from that end versus replacing the cartridges/valves from the front?

But it’s a hard plastic? At least, it seems that way. It definitely does not feel like metal. But it’s very old, and may just be giving that appearance

Yeah that is completely inaccessible to me lol. But thanks for the idea!

It’s interesting because everything shared with me so far is metal, but mine are like a hard plastic.

Are those sold separately or in the same kit?

So a set like this (if I wanted to replace all of them)? https://www.homedepot.com/p/Lincoln-Products-Tub-and-Shower-Rebuild-Kit-for-Indiana-3-Handle-Faucets-111862/310228392 I would need to remove the handles and get the cartridges out to take to Home Depot to actually choose a kit that matches right?
While I don’t mind getting the specialized sockets for that cheap, someone else mentioned two crescent wrenches — is that plausible as well?

I have had utilities marked before, but it didn’t mark how deep. The only one that was labeled was gas (all other are overhead)
