Only in houses, dead easy if you turn the mains off, not so much if you don't.

It'll be fairly obvious once you get the valve hand grip off. Usually a plastic cap lifts off the top to give you access to the screw.

[Edit: that's for a tap ^. Shower extension? ...should screw off and is serviceable by leaving the bathroom tap(s) off, have you a photo/link?]
