Showers and tubs get daily use, so cartridges, seals and valves eventually wear out. A shower that drips, will not hold a steady temperature or has a stiff handle usually needs a new cartridge or valve rebuild. Water stains on the ceiling below or soft drywall behind the wall can point to a leaking valve, drain or overflow. We find the cause, repair what can be repaired and replace valves when needed, including pressure-balancing valves that help prevent temperature swings. We also replace showerheads, tub spouts and trim kits and can handle the plumbing side of tub-to-shower conversions.

Shower and tub repair: common questions
Why does my shower turn hot or cold suddenly?
Older valves cannot balance pressure when another fixture runs. A pressure-balancing or thermostatic valve keeps the temperature steadier.
Do you need to open the wall to replace a shower valve?
Usually some access is needed. Many valves can be reached from behind the wall or through a small access panel instead of removing tile.
