Replace dripping, stiff or outdated shower valves, cartridges and trim, with matching fixtures and a tested, leak-free connection.
A shower valve is easy to ignore until it drips, runs hot and cold or will not shut off. The valve behind the wall controls temperature and flow, and its trim, the handle and plate you see, is the part you touch every day. Sometimes only the cartridge inside needs replacing, which is a quick fix. Other times the valve body is worn, the stops are failing or you want a new style or a better temperature-control design. Replacing a valve means opening the wall, so it is a smart time to update trim, check for hidden leaks and match the showerhead. In Nashville, many homes have valves older than twenty years that are well past their prime.
We identify your valve brand and type and check whether a cartridge swap will solve the problem. If the whole valve needs replacing, we shut off the water, open the wall from the tile or access side, install a new valve at the correct depth and test for leaks before closing. We choose trim that fits the new valve, matches your fixtures and finishes, and we repair the wall or tile around it. Options include pressure-balancing, thermostatic and digital valves, which we explain plainly.
Many valve problems are fixed with a new cartridge, and we tell you when that will do and when the valve body needs replacing.
Pressure-balancing valves reduce sudden hot and cold swings, and thermostatic valves hold a set temperature.
Valve depth must match the finished wall thickness, so trim sits flush and handles work smoothly.
We pressurize the connections and test the valve before the wall is closed up.
