How to remove shower Mixer valve?
I’m trying to remove this mixer valve and replace it with a new one. I just thought it was attached to the pipes but it seems to be fixed to some sort of back plate. Any ideas how to remove it? I managed to find the manual online but can’t find anything in there

I had a plumber come out to replace the cartridge in my shower, and it broke inside the copper valve. Not his fault. It was pretty stuck in there. In order to fix it, he said he needed to replace the shower head, tub spout, and trim kit along with the valve and it ended up costing a little less than $1000 for less than 2 hours of work. Does that reasonable?
Also, is it customary to replace everything if you have to replace the valve?
