Anybody know anything about plumbing?

although it is a PITA to use, we do have another shower in the house. In fact, I think this is the first time it has been used since we moved in 12 years ago (although I do run water in there periodically just to make sure things remain in working order)

When I cleaned the valves, I did it externally from the shower and rinsed them thoroughly before replacing. However, I am suspecting and old gasket or something similar is stuck. Tonight I get to clean that segment of the line out (I think a traditional pipe snake is too big for the segment).

I probably do more than required at this place, but the small stuff is easy for me: much easier than a handyman coming in.
