Frequently Asked Questions
What Are the Most Common Signs That I Need Shower or Tub Repair?
Showers and tubs often show early warning signs before they fail completely. Many homeowners ignore small issues until they turn into expensive repairs, so it helps to know what to look for. Leaks, slow drainage, and mold growth all indicate that something inside the plumbing, walls, or drain assembly needs attention. Strange sounds, weak water pressure, or cracked surfaces can also point to hidden damage.
Common signs you need shower or tub repair include:
- Water pooling on the floor near your tub or shower
- Mold or mildew forming around tiles or caulking
- Loose or cracked tiles on shower walls
- Low water pressure that gets worse over time
- A drain that constantly clogs or gurgles
- Signs of leaks on the ceilings below the bathroom
If you catch these symptoms early, you can prevent costly damage inside the walls or floor structure.
How Long Does a Shower or Tub Installation Take?
The length of a shower or tub installation depends on the layout of your bathroom, the type of fixture you choose, and whether any plumbing changes are needed. A straightforward replacement usually takes only a couple of days, while custom installations, new shower builds, or tub to shower conversions can take a bit longer. When walls or floors need reinforcement or when older homes require plumbing repairs, the timeline can extend by a few more days.
We always explain what to expect and how long the project will take before we begin. Our goal is to finish the job safely, with quality work that lasts. Most installations are completed in less time than homeowners anticipate, and we take extra care to reduce disruption throughout the process.
What Are the Benefits of Converting a Bathtub to a Walk-In Shower?
A walk-in shower is one of the most popular upgrades for modern bathrooms. Homeowners appreciate the open look, easier access, and improved safety. Removing an old tub gives you more space, and it can make your bathroom feel more contemporary and easier to maintain.
Benefits of a tub to shower conversion include:
- Easier access for all ages
- A more modern and spacious appearance
- Custom features like shelves, grab bars, and seating
- Less cleaning and fewer places for mold to develop
- Better use of limited bathroom space
This type of conversion is popular in Seattle homes, especially in older bathrooms where space feels tight.
Why Does My Shower Drain Keep Clogging?
A shower drain that constantly clogs can be frustrating, especially when you have already tried the basic fixes. Hair buildup is the most common cause, but soap residue and mineral deposits can also reduce water flow. In some cases, the drain line may have a bend or root intrusion that prevents proper drainage. Older homes with cast iron or galvanized pipes may experience corrosion that narrows the drain.
We inspect the line to find the exact cause of the issue and explain the best solution. Sometimes a professional drain cleaning solves the problem. Other times, rerouting a part of the plumbing, partial, or full repiping may be necessary to restore proper drainage and prevent future backups.
What Should I Consider When Planning a Shower Remodel?
A shower remodel is a great opportunity to update the look, improve functionality, and fix any long-standing issues in your bathroom. Before choosing materials or styles, think about how the shower will be used and what features matter most to your household. Some people want easy maintenance. Others want shelves, grab bars, or built-in seating for added convenience.
Budget and layout are also important. You may want to expand the shower, change the drain location, or choose a walk-in design. We explain each option clearly so you can plan a remodel that fits your home, your daily routine, and your long-term goals.
Is It Worth Replacing My Old Bathtub Instead of Repairing It?
An old bathtub can cause recurring problems. Cracks, leaks, stains, and mold are often signs that repairs may no longer be enough. Replacement gives you a chance to update the style and improve durability. Modern tubs resist staining and make cleaning easier, which saves time and money over the years.
If your tub has structural damage, water leaking beneath it, or repeated drain issues, replacement is usually the safer option. Our team inspects your bathtub thoroughly and explains the pros and cons of repair versus replacement. You will always know the most practical and cost-effective path forward.
