Upgrade Option

Replacing an Original Shower Valve

If your shower still has the valve that came with the house, a replacement can solve several problems at once. A pressure-balancing or thermostatic valve keeps the temperature steady when someone flushes or starts the dishwasher. A new cartridge-style valve is easier to repair later. With a fiberglass surround, we can often reach the valve from an access panel or from the room behind, so you don't have to replace the whole unit.

Pricing

What Affects the Price of Shower Repair

A cartridge swap is usually quick. Replacing an original valve takes longer, especially with a fiberglass surround. Leak testing adds time when the source isn't obvious. We diagnose and quote a flat price before work starts.
