When any shower valve goes out in the master bathroom and it cannot be reached from the front of the shower, you may have to enter through the master bedroom closet and cut out the drywall in the closet. You will then have access to the back side of the shower. In this case, after you repair the valves, you would re-install the drywall by either installing an access panel or if the cut out required a larger than available premade access panel, you would then build a wall frame inside the closet and then frame in your own access panel.
Here is a picture of an already existing access panel from another unit. A larger picture of another type of access panel is not available. The picture is dark, but as you can see, the access panel is set to repair the shower knob valves. There would have to be another panel installed at a lower level to deal with the tub outlet.
