Enjoy a Perfect Shower or Bath: A hot, relaxing shower or a nice soak in the tub can be one of life’s simple pleasures – unless your shower is weak, cold, or leaking! Our shower and bathtub plumbing services cover everything in your bathroom’s bathing area. We repair and install showerheads, tub faucets, valves, and drains, and we can even handle full tub or shower installations (for example, replacing an old tub with a new unit or converting a tub to a walk-in shower). Whether it’s fixing a drip or doing a complete upgrade, we’ve got you covered, ensuring you can bathe in comfort.

Common Shower/Bathtub Issues: Bathrooms see daily use, and problems can arise either from wear-and-tear or underlying plumbing issues. Some typical problems we resolve include:

  • Dripping Showerheads or Tub Spouts: That steady drip after you shut off the shower is usually a sign of an internal leak in the shower valve (mixing valve). Often the culprit is a worn-out cartridge or O-rings in the valve. We can replace these parts so that when you turn off the shower, it truly turns off – saving water and stopping the drip noise.
  • Low Water Pressure in Shower: A weak shower can be frustrating. If only the shower is affected (not the rest of the fixtures), it might be a clogged showerhead (mineral deposits blocking the spray nozzles). We can clean or replace the showerhead. It could also be an issue with the mixing valve not fully opening due to sediment. If the whole house has low pressure, that’s a broader issue we can investigate (such as a pressure regulator problem or main line issue).
  • Temperature Fluctuations or Faulty Mixing Valve: If your shower goes ice-cold or scalding hot suddenly, the anti-scald mechanism or mixing valve may be faulty. Modern showers have pressure-balancing or thermostatic valves to keep temperature steady; we can repair or upgrade those for consistent comfort.
  • Leaky Tub Faucet or Valve: A bathtub faucet (spout) that drips, or water that leaks behind the wall when the shower is on, indicates a valve problem. We’ll fix the valve and ensure all seals are tight. If there’s access, we also inspect for any water damage behind the wall to address it early.
  • Clogged Tub or Shower Drain: Standing water in the shower or slow-draining tubs are very common – usually due to hair, soap, and shampoo residue clogging the drain. We’ll snake out the drain quickly and restore flow. We can also install drain strainers to catch hair.
  • Worn-Out Caulking & Grout: While not a “plumbing” issue per se, deteriorating caulk around a tub or shower edges can allow water to seep out onto floors or into walls, causing damage. We often help by re-caulking seams and around fixtures to ensure a watertight enclosure. Similarly, if you have a tiled shower, we might point out missing grout that should be fixed to prevent leaks.

Upgrades and Installations: Beyond repairs, we also provide installation services if you’re remodeling or need new fixtures. This could include installing a new showerhead (rainfall head, handheld sprayer, etc.), adding features like a second showerhead or body sprays, or replacing your old tub with a newer model or a shower stall. If you’re converting a tub to a walk-in shower, our team can handle the plumbing modifications – moving the drain, installing new valves and showerheads at the correct height, etc. We ensure everything is leak-free and up to code.

We also install accessibility features such as grab bars, or a shower bench and handheld sprayer to make showers safer and more comfortable for those with limited mobility. For bathtubs, we can install or repair jacuzzi and whirlpool tub systems (pumps, jets, controls) if you have a spa tub.

One of our guiding principles, as with our other services, is to treat any shower or tub issue with comprehensive care. For example, if we fix a leaky shower valve, we’ll also check the condition of the showerhead and arm, the caulking around escutcheons, and the drain function, so that the whole system is in good shape. Our team has handled everything from simple showerhead swaps to full shower/tub installations and replacements, so you can trust us with projects of any size.

Why This Service Improves Your Life: The bathroom should be a place of refreshment, not frustration. By fixing leaks and improving water pressure/temperature in your shower, we make your daily routine more enjoyable – you get the invigorating or soothing shower you want, without surprises. Stopping leaks also prevents the hidden damage that can be occurring (like a leak behind a shower wall that rots wood or drywall). If you’ve ever stepped into a shower only to find lukewarm water or weak flow, you know how it can start the day off wrong; we’re here to turn that around.

New installations, such as replacing an old discolored tub or adding a modern shower system, can significantly boost your bathroom’s appeal and functionality. It’s like a mini renovation that increases your home’s value and your personal comfort. Many clients report that after we’ve installed a new high-pressure showerhead or fixed their water pressure, they feel like they have a “new shower” experience and wonder why they didn’t call sooner.

Additionally, by ensuring proper caulking and seals, we help you avoid water getting where it shouldn’t – saving you from costly repairs to floors or ceilings below. We always emphasize quality: the fixtures we install are from reputable brands, and we guarantee our workmanship. So you can step into your shower with confidence that everything is working correctly and safely. And if there ever is an issue, you know our friendly team is just around the corner to assist, keeping that bathroom an oasis in your home.
