Shower Repair in Geneva, IL
A shower that drips all day, swings hot and cold or barely sprays. We repair showers across Geneva, from clawfoot setups in historic homes to modern valves, usually without disturbing your tile. From our office on Campbell Street.
Shower Problems We Fix
Most start in the valve:
A Drip
A worn cartridge or washer inside the valve. On older two-handle valves, it may be the seats as well.
Hot and Cold Swings
Older valves don't balance pressure at all, and newer ones can wear out.
Weak Spray
A clogged head, a worn cartridge or, in older homes, galvanized pipe narrowed by rust.
Leaks Below the Bathroom
A valve or drain leak often shows as a stain on the ceiling or plaster below.
Shower Repairs in Geneva Homes
Geneva's bathrooms span almost two centuries.
Clawfoot Tubs and Exposed Risers
Historic homes may have clawfoot tubs with exposed shower plumbing. We repair and replace those fittings.
Old Two- and Three-Handle Valves
Older valves can be rebuilt, but parts can be scarce. A pressure-balancing valve may be the better fix.
Newer Valves Needing Cartridges
In homes built after 1990, a cartridge swap usually brings the shower back.
Leaks Through Old Plaster Ceilings
In older homes, a shower leak often shows up as a stain or bulge in the plaster below. We find the source before any plaster is opened.
