Our Shower Tub Repair and Replacement Services

Whether you need a quick fix or a complete overhaul, we handle all types of shower and bathtub issues throughout metro Atlanta, GA. Here's a look at what we do.

Shower and Bathtub Repairs

Bathtub repair and shower repair cover a wide range of issues, and most common repairs take 1 to 3 hours to complete. We see it all, from simple fixes to complex problems hiding behind your walls.

  • Leaking valves, faucets, and handles. Dripping fixtures often indicate worn seals or washers, and a small drip can waste over 3,000 gallons annually. Replacing faulty components can restore proper function and save you money on water bills.
  • Low water pressure. Low water pressure can result from clogged showerheads or pipes. Mineral deposits and mineral buildup restrict water flow over time, and we clean or replace the affected parts to restore full pressure.
  • Slow or clogged drains. Slow-draining tubs are often caused by hair and soap scum. Professional plumbers use safe tools to clear drain blockages without the risk of damage. Chemical drain cleaners can damage pipes over time, so we always recommend professional clearing instead.
  • Temperature control problems. Worn cartridges, faulty mixing valves, or sediment buildup can all cause inconsistent water temperature. We diagnose and fix these issues so your shower works the way it should.
  • Hidden leaks behind walls. Ignoring leaks can lead to mold growth and structural damage. Water damage from leaks often leads to wood rot, especially in Atlanta's humid climate. We locate and repair these hidden problems before they turn into expensive emergencies.

For surface-level bathtub problems like chips, stains, or a worn finish, bathtub refinishing is often a practical way to breathe new life into an older unit. Refinishing saves 70% to 90% compared to replacement costs, and most refinishing projects can be completed in 3 to 5 hours. It's a cost effective alternative to tearing everything out, and refinishing creates a like-new finish on worn surfaces. Refinishing can extend the lifespan of bathtubs and showers significantly. Atlanta bathtub reglazing and resurfacing are great options when the tub itself is structurally sound but just looks tired. Refinishing is also eco-friendly and generates no construction waste, which matters if you're trying to keep your renovation footprint small. For fiberglass tub repair or restoring porcelain and acrylic surfaces, bathtub repair services and refinishing services give you a durable finish without the cost of a full remodel.

Shower and Bathtub Replacement

Sometimes repair isn't enough. When a tub or shower has structural cracks, persistent leaks, or has simply reached the end of its life, replacement is the right call. Replacing an old tub requires inspection for water damage or mold, and we always check the subfloor and framing before installing anything new. Full replacement of a tub typically involves removing the old unit and updating surrounding areas, including the surround walls and plumbing connections. Proper installation prevents costly plumbing repairs later, while poor installation can lead to leaks and inefficiency.

  • Complete removal and installation. We handle everything from demolition to final testing, whether you're replacing an old fiberglass combo unit or upgrading to something completely new.
  • Water-efficient fixture upgrades. Modern showerheads and faucets improve water efficiency and reduce utility bills. Georgia code now requires high-efficiency plumbing fixtures, and upgrading helps you stay compliant while saving money.
  • Walk-in shower conversions. Many Atlanta homeowners are converting garden tubs into spacious walk-in showers for improved accessibility and modern appeal. These projects typically run between $7,500 and $18,000 in metro Atlanta, depending on materials and complexity.
  • Surround replacement. We replace shower surrounds and bathtub surrounds with durable, easy-to-clean materials like acrylic panels, tile, or cultured stone.
  • Waterproofing and code compliance. Every replacement includes proper waterproofing membranes, cement backer board, and sealing to prevent moisture intrusion. Correct installation ensures long-term performance and reliability. High humidity in Georgia necessitates proper ventilation in bathroom setups, and we make sure your whole bathroom is set up to handle it.

Fiberglass and acrylic tubs are lightweight and budget-friendly, making them popular choices for standard replacements. Heavier materials like cast-iron or stone composites offer superior durability but may require floor reinforcement, especially in older homes or second-floor bathrooms. We walk you through the pros and cons of each material so you can make the best decision for your home and budget.

How Our Process Works

From your first call to project completion, we make shower tub repair and replacement straightforward and stress-free.

Step 1: Fast Response and Assessment

You call or book online, and we get a technician to your home quickly. Emergency plumbing services are available 24/7 in Atlanta, and common emergency issues include leaking showers and clogged drains. During the visit, we perform a thorough inspection to identify the exact problem and any underlying causes. We check the condition of your fixtures, valves, piping, and waterproofing. The shape of your existing plumbing affects replacement options and costs, so we evaluate everything before recommending a path forward. You get a clear explanation of what we found and upfront pricing with no obligation to proceed.

Step 2: Professional Repair or Replacement

Once you approve the plan, we get to work. For repairs, most shower repairs can be completed within 1 to 3 hours. Repairing a damaged tub or shower avoids heavy demolition and keeps your bathroom functional faster. For replacement, we handle the full scope: removal, subfloor inspection, plumbing rough-in, installation, waterproofing, and finishing. We follow local codes and manufacturer specifications on every job. Altering plumbing layouts usually increases both time and costs for projects, so we design the work to minimize unnecessary changes. Local permits are usually necessary for layout changes or plumbing modifications, and we handle that process for you. Permits may not be required for cosmetic updates in Atlanta, and we'll let you know either way.

We protect your floors, walls, and surrounding surfaces throughout the process and keep the work area clean as we go.

Step 3: Quality Assurance and Follow-Up

Before we call it done, we run full leak tests, verify water pressure and temperature regulation, and check every connection. We remove all old fixtures and debris, leaving your bathroom ready to use. We also take time to explain maintenance recommendations so your new or repaired shower and tub last as long as possible. With proper care, quality materials, and professional installation, your bathroom fixtures should serve you well for many years. You get warranty coverage on both materials and workmanship, plus follow-up support if you ever have questions.

Shower Tub Repair & Replacement Frequently Asked Questions

Should I repair or replace my shower or bathtub?

It depends on the age of the unit, the extent of the damage, and your long-term plans. Surface issues like chips, stains, or worn finishes can often be handled with bathtub reglazing or refinishing, which is a cost effective option that restores the look without the expense of a full replacement. Structural cracks, persistent leaks, or mold behind walls usually call for replacement. Accessing hidden water damage can significantly increase repair costs, so early diagnosis matters. Costs for minor repairs in Atlanta generally range from $150 to $600, while full replacements can run several thousand depending on materials and scope. Custom tile installations for bathrooms elevate costs significantly compared to prefabricated surrounds. Renovating older homes in Atlanta often reveals outdated plumbing that needs upgrades, which can affect the final price. We help you weigh the cost, the condition, and what makes the most sense for your home and your money.

How quickly can you respond to shower tub emergencies?

We offer 24/7 emergency plumbing service with an average arrival time under 2 hours across metro Atlanta. If you have an active leak, water damage, or a completely non-functional shower or tub, that qualifies as an emergency. Minor leaks can lead to mold growth and structural damage if left unaddressed, so we encourage you not to wait. For standard bathtub repair services or planned replacement work, we typically schedule within a day or two. Call (XXX) XXX-XXXX anytime.

What does upfront pricing mean for shower tub services?

It means we give you a clear, written estimate before any work begins. The price covers labor, materials, removal, and disposal. No surprises. Typical shower repair costs vary by complexity, and we explain exactly what factors drive the number so you understand what you're paying for. If we discover additional issues during the job, like subfloor rot or outdated pipes, we discuss the scope change and updated cost with you before moving forward.

Do you guarantee your shower and bathtub work?

Yes. Every repair and replacement comes with our 100% satisfaction guarantee. We stand behind our workmanship and the materials we install. If something isn't right, we come back and make it right. Specific warranty terms are provided in writing with every completed project, and reaching us for warranty service is as simple as making a phone call.

Is bathtub refinishing worth it?

For many homeowners, absolutely. If your tub is structurally solid but the surface is worn, stained, or chipped, refinishing gives it new life at a fraction of the replacement cost. It's a practical way to restore the look of your bathroom without the disruption of a full remodel. Minor tile or grout issues are often best handled by a tile specialist, but for the tub surface itself, professional resurfacing delivers a durable finish that holds up for years. Avoid harsh chemicals on refinished surfaces to keep them looking their best.
