Unhappy Shower Diverter fell out!

The pull up shower diverter to my bath tub unscrewed in my hand as i went to engage the shower, and the remaining hardware fell out of the bottom of the spout. Now i have a bath but no shower. I am hoping this is something i can repair myself but no one seems to have any advice on how i can do so. HELP!!

I wish I could help but without see what happened I can't tell you if it can be fixed. Did it unscrew or just break off? The spout may need to be replaced.

Changing the spout is the simplest repair. Unless you have a fancy spout, replacements are less than $10 at the big box stores.

Usually the spout simply unscrews (counterclockwise) but some have a setscrew in the underneath side that needs be loosened before just sliding off.
