Shower and Bathtub Repair and Installation in Brentwood, TN

What Is Going On, and What We Do About It
A shower valve controls temperature and flow, and when its cartridge wears, the shower drips, runs hot then cold, or will not shut off. A leaking tub drain or a faulty diverter sends water where it should not go, often behind the wall or under the tub. These are jobs where the visible part is rarely the whole story, and a quick look behind the trim often explains everything.
Brentwood bathrooms in large homes often have multi-head showers and soaking tubs, with more valves and diverters to wear. Hard water scale builds on shower cartridges and heads, cutting pressure and making handles stiff. Older tile showers in Brentwood Hills and Belle Rive also hide slow leaks that stain ceilings below before anyone notices.
Signs to Watch For
- A shower that drips after it is shut off
- Hot water that swings hot and cold
- Low pressure at the shower head only
- A diverter that will not switch to the shower
- Water leaking around the tub or behind the wall
- A tub that drains slowly or smells musty
How We Fix It
- Test the valve. We check the cartridge, the trim, and the water temperature, so we know whether the valve or the supply is at fault.
- Replace the cartridge. A worn cartridge is replaced with the right part for the valve model.
- Fix the drain and seal. Tub drains, overflow seals, and grout-line leaks are repaired so water stays in the tub.
- Test hot and cold. We run the shower through its full range and check for leaks behind the wall before we finish.
When you call, tell us what you see, hear, or smell. If you are unsure whether it is an emergency, call anyway. We would rather you ask than wait while water spreads.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my shower drip after I turn it off?
The valve cartridge is worn and no longer seals. Replacing it usually stops the drip and restores smooth temperature control.
Why does my shower go hot then cold?
A worn cartridge or a pressure imbalance between hot and cold lines is often the cause. We test both and fix the one that is at fault.
Can you fix a leak behind the shower wall?
Yes. We open the smallest access we can, repair the valve or pipe, and advise on drying and tile repair.
Why is my shower pressure low?
The shower head may be scaled, or the cartridge may be partly blocked. We clean the head and test the valve before we replace anything.
Do you install walk-in showers?
Yes. A walk-in shower is a remodel job with new valve, drain, and waterproofing work. See our bathroom plumbing page.
