Drips that won't stop, water that won't get hot, or a leak behind the wall. We fix showers and tubs the right way.
Shower and tub problems range from annoying to serious. A showerhead that drips all day, a handle that's hard to turn, water that swings from hot to cold, or a tub spout that won't divert to the shower are all signs something inside the valve is worn. A leak behind the wall is more urgent, because it can damage framing and drywall out of sight. MC 1 Plumbing repairs showers and tubs throughout Greater San Antonio.
Most repairs involve the valve cartridge, stems, seals, or diverter, and many can be done without opening the wall. When a valve is old or parts aren't available, we can replace the valve and trim so everything works like new.
Temperature control matters for safety too. Modern pressure-balancing valves help prevent sudden scalding or cold bursts when someone flushes a toilet. Every job is backed by a licensed Texas Responsible Master Plumber (RMP M-43246) with 30 years of experience.
What looks like a small drip can be a sign of wear that gets worse over time.
Worn cartridges and seals replaced so the water shuts off completely.
Temperature swings and no-hot-water problems diagnosed and fixed.
Tub spouts that won't send water to the shower repaired.
Leaks behind the wall found before they cause major damage.
San Antonio's hard water leaves mineral deposits inside shower valves and showerheads. Over time, cartridges stick, seals wear, and flow drops. That's why so many showers start dripping, get stiff to turn, or lose pressure after a few years.
Signs of a leak behind the wall include stains or soft spots on the drywall on the other side, loose tile, peeling paint, or a musty smell. If you notice any of these, it's worth having the valve and supply connections checked before the damage spreads.
If you're thinking about updating the whole bathroom, our remodel plumbing service can relocate or upgrade the shower and tub plumbing as part of the project.
Every shower and tub repair focuses on the valve, the trim, and the connections.
Usually the valve cartridge or seals are worn, often from mineral buildup. Replacing them typically stops the drip.
Older valves can't balance pressure changes when someone uses water elsewhere. A pressure-balancing valve helps keep the temperature steady.
Many repairs are done from the front through the trim. If the valve body or a supply connection behind the wall has failed, access may be needed, and we'll explain before we start.
The diverter is likely worn. We can repair or replace it so water goes where it should.
Often, yes. Trim kits need to match the valve, so we'll confirm what fits or recommend a valve upgrade.
