🧰 Shower & Tub Fixture Repair (Fix the Problem at the Source)

A lot of bathroom leaks aren’t the “visible” part—they come from what’s behind the wall. We inspect the full setup to pinpoint the real cause, then repair what’s needed.

Common repairs include:

Cartridge replacements

Valve component repairs

Diverter repairs

Constant dripping when “off”

Handles that won’t fully stop water

Temperature swings or poor mixing

Stiff or difficult-to-turn controls

Water leaking behind the handle/trim

💧 Low Shower Pressure Troubleshooting

Low pressure can come from buildup, clogged parts, or internal restrictions. We’ll test and identify what’s causing it.

Partially closed shutoff valves

Pressure drops when other fixtures run

❓ Shower & Bath Fixture FAQ

Why does my shower drip when it’s off?
Usually a worn cartridge/valve issue inside the control—not the showerhead.

Why does water still come out of the tub spout when the shower is on?
Often a diverter problem, a worn spout, or valve/pressure issues.

Can you replace just the trim/handles?
Sometimes—compatibility depends on the valve brand/model. We’ll check what you have.

Is low shower pressure always a plumbing problem?
Not always. Buildup or a restricted cartridge can cause it too.
