What's included in the job
Every shower and tub job is different, but here's what our standard service covers. If something falls outside the scope, we tell you before we start and quote it separately.
Work order
Shower and Tub Repair and Installation- Full diagnosis and leak check: We test the valve, run the drain, and check the pan and surround for hidden leaks. A water pressure gauge and inspection camera tell us exactly what's failing before we quote the repair.
- Valve and cartridge replacement: We swap the cartridge, seats, and O-rings, or replace the whole valve body if it's corroded. Moen, Delta, and Kohler parts are on the truck, so most jobs finish the same day.
- Drain and trap repair: Slow or backed-up shower drains get snaked, jetted, or rebuilt. We replace failed trap assemblies and test the flow so the tub empties fast and stays clear.
- Tub and pan installation: New tubs and shower pans get set level, sealed, and connected to the drain with the right gasket or wax ring. We check the subfloor and repair any soft spots before the pan goes down.
- Supply line and shut-off work: Old shut-off valves and corroded supply lines get replaced while the wall is open. We use copper, PEX, or SharkBite fittings depending on what the run calls for.
- Cleanup and haul-away: Old fixtures, tile, and debris leave with us. We vacuum the dust, wipe down the surround, and leave the bathroom ready to use the same day.

Shower repair hendersonville TN, start to finish
A shower or tub repair done right the first time saves you money and water. We find the cause, fix it to code, and test it before we leave.
Shower and tub repair and installation covers everything behind the tile and under the tub: the mixing valve, the drain assembly, the supply lines, the pan, and the surround. We cut out failed copper or CPVC, sweat in new fittings, set a fresh wax ring or gasket, and pressure-test the line before we button it up.
Hendersonville homes take a beating on shower fixtures. Hard water from the local supply eats rubber seats and cartridges, and the freeze-thaw swings we get each winter crack supply lines in exterior walls. If you're searching bathtub repair near me hendersonville because the tub is flexing or the drain is slow, that's usually a sign the subfloor or the trap has been wet for a while. We see it constantly in the older ranches off Gallatin Road.

What to expect on the job
No mystery, no waiting around. Here is exactly how a shower or tub job runs from the first call to the final test.
Tools and methods we use
Each method answers a different question. Together they leave very little to guess.
Scours scale, soap, and grease off the pipe walls when snaking isn't enough. It restores full flow in shower and tub drains.
Finds hidden leaks behind walls and under floors without tearing out tile. We use it on ceiling stains and mystery moisture.
Measures static and dynamic pressure so we know whether low shower flow is a valve problem or a supply problem.
Makes code-correct PEX connections fast. We use it on repipes and supply line repairs where copper isn't the right call.

Homes
How shower and tub work runs in Hendersonville
Hendersonville sits in Sumner County, and the housing stock here ranges from 1970s ranches to newer builds near Indian Lake. That mix means we see two very different sets of problems.
Indian Lake
A mix of newer builds and 1990s homes. We see a lot of builder-grade valves here that need cartridge replacement around the ten-year mark.
Saundersville
Older properties with cast iron drains and copper supply lines. Root intrusion and scale are common in the main sewer runs.
Downtown Hendersonville
Tighter lots and older bathrooms. Access panels are often missing, so we cut and frame one during the repair.

PhotoDripping valve to dry ceiling
Before: A homeowner in Indian Lake had a shower valve that dripped for months. The ceiling below had a brown stain and the drywall was soft. The valve body was corroded and the cartridge was shot.
After: We replaced the valve body and cartridge, pressure-tested the line, and confirmed the drip stopped. The ceiling dried out over the next week. Total job time was about three hours.
Tub to walk-in conversion
Before: A family near Walton Ferry had an old cast iron tub that was hard to step into. The drain was slow and the surround tile was cracked. The subfloor had a soft spot near the drain.
After: We demoed the tub, repaired the subfloor, moved the drain, and set a new walk-in pan with a Moen valve and a WaterSense shower head. The job took four days from demo to first shower.
Slow drain to full flow
Before: A rental in Downtown Hendersonville had a tub that backed up every few weeks. Snaking helped for a while, then stopped working. The tenant was ready to move out over it.
After: We cameraed the line and found root intrusion in the main sewer. We cut out the damaged section and replaced it with PVC. The tub now drains in under 30 seconds and the tenant renewed the lease.
Shower and tub problems we fix every week
These are the calls we get most in Hendersonville. If any of these sound familiar, don't wait.
Shower valve dripping and won't shut off
A steady drip wastes 10 to 20 gallons a day and stains the ceiling below. Left alone, it can rot the subfloor and the joists.
Tub drains slowly or backs up
Standing water in the tub is a sign of a clog or a failing trap.
Cracked tub pan or flexing floor
A flexing tub means the subfloor is soft. Ignoring it leads to a full tear-out, new subfloor, and a much bigger bill.
Low water pressure at the shower head
Weak pressure makes every shower frustrating and often points to scale, a failing valve, or a supply problem that will get worse.
Water stains on the ceiling below the bathroom
That stain is a leak you can't see. It spreads, damages drywall, and can reach wiring if it's ignored long enough.
Why homeowners call us first
A shower or tub problem never fixes itself. It gets worse, and it gets more expensive.
Stop the water damage
A slow shower drain or a weeping valve can rot a subfloor in one season.
Fix it once, not twice
Cheap cartridges and off-brand valves fail in 18 months.
Keep your water bill down
A shower valve leaking a steady drip wastes 10 to 20 gallons a day.
Upgrade while we're in there
If the wall is already open, a walk in shower installation hendersonville is the smart move.

What neighbors say about our work
Our shower valve started dripping and then the ceiling below got a stain. Hendersonville Lakebend came out the next morning, found the bad cartridge and a cracked seat, and had it fixed by lunch. Price was what they quoted. No mess left behind. I've already recommended them to two neighbors.
We did a tub-to-shower conversion and these guys handled the whole rough-in. They moved the drain, set the pan, and worked around our tile guy without any drama. Three days from demo to first shower. The walk-in is way easier for my dad to use and it drains perfectly.
I manage a few rentals and had a slow tub drain that kept backing up. They cameraed the line, found root intrusion in the main, and repaired it. Tenants stopped calling. Fair price and they actually showed up when they said they would.
Questions we get every week
Short answers for the first few minutes. The team can cover the rest.
Still have a question?
Describe what you are seeing and we will point you to the right next step.
(615) 842-5111A cartridge or seat replacement is on the low end; a valve body swap or a drain rebuild sits higher. If we have to open a wall to reach the valve, add labor and drywall. You get the number before we start, and there's no charge for the estimate.
The big variables are whether we're reusing the existing drain location and how much surround work you want. We quote the whole job up front so you can compare options.
Nine times out of ten it's the cartridge, the valve seats, or a failed joint behind the wall. Hard water here wears rubber seals fast, and freeze-thaw cycles crack supply lines in exterior walls. If water shows up on the ceiling below, shut the water off and call us. We'll find it with leak detection equipment and fix the source, not just the symptom.
Yes. We replace single-handle, dual-handle, and thermostatic valves, and we can usually match the existing rough-in so you don't have to re-tile. A standard valve replacement takes two to four hours. We pressure-test it before we close the wall, and we leave the access panel so the next repair is easier.
