Clawfoot Tub Shower Conversions
A clawfoot tub with a shower conversion kit adds a riser, a showerhead and a ring for a curtain. It's a popular update in vintage bathrooms. We install the kit, connect it to the existing supply and make sure the drain and overflow seal properly. If the old tub faucet is leaking, this is a good time to replace it with one that's made for showers.
What Affects the Price of Shower Repair
Rebuilding an older valve is usually quick if parts are available. Replacing a valve behind original tile takes more. Clawfoot tub fixtures need specific parts. We diagnose and quote a flat price.

You’re halfway through the shampoo when your husband comes in yelling saying the water needs to be shut off because it’s all coming up in the basement. Ugh. So you start looking for who to call. The plumber your parents used is out of town for two weeks. [...]"
