What This Service Covers
Bathtub and shower repair covers a wide range of issues, from a dripping shower head or leaking tub spout, to a failing diverter valve that will not switch water flow properly, to a slow or clogged drain, and even a tub that has developed a crack or is failing to hold water. Many of these issues trace back to worn internal cartridges or valves hidden behind the wall, not the visible fixtures themselves.
Homes across Aiken, SC with original bathroom fixtures often reach the point where internal valve components have simply worn past their service life, leading to drips that no amount of tightening the handle will fix.
Why These Issues Should Not Wait
A dripping shower head or leaking tub spout wastes water continuously, adding up over weeks and months into a real cost on your water bill. More importantly, water leaking behind tile or around a tub's edges can seep into wall cavities and subflooring, creating conditions for hidden mold growth and structural damage that is far more expensive to address than the original leak would have been.
How We Diagnose and Repair
Identify the source
We determine whether the issue is at the valve, cartridge, drain, or the tub or shower pan itself before recommending a fix.
Valve or cartridge replacement
Worn internal components are replaced with parts matched to your existing fixture brand and model where possible.
Drain clearing or repair
Slow or clogged tub and shower drains are cleared, or repaired if the drain assembly itself has failed.
Seal and caulk restoration
Where leaks stem from failed sealant around the tub or shower pan, we restore a proper watertight seal.
Function testing
We run the fixture through full hot and cold cycles to confirm the repair holds under normal use.
What To Expect
Most valve and cartridge repairs take 1 to 2 hours, while drain clearing is often quicker. If access to the valve requires opening a small section of wall behind the fixture, we explain that before starting. Once complete, your tub or shower is ready for normal use immediately, with no waiting period required.

Frequently Asked Questions
A dripping shower head almost always points to a worn valve cartridge inside the wall that is no longer sealing completely, rather than an issue with the shower head itself.
Many valves have an access panel or can be reached through the shower's control plate, avoiding tile work. If tile access is genuinely needed, we discuss it with you before proceeding.
Often yes, whether from hair and soap buildup in the trap or a more significant clog further down the line, both of which we can clear during a standard visit.
Small cracks can sometimes be sealed, but significant structural cracks usually mean replacement is the more reliable long-term option, which we would discuss during inspection.
Most valve or cartridge repairs take 1 to 2 hours, depending on the fixture brand and how accessible the valve is behind the wall.
