Can a leaking or hot-only shower valve be repaired? Often, yes. A worn cartridge or valve seat can usually be replaced to stop a leak. If the valve is too worn or its parts are discontinued, we replace the valve in the wall. On a recent Broken Arrow job we reached the valve from the back of the wall, so the tile stayed untouched. The price we give you when we walk in the door is the price, with no hidden fees.

Why does my shower only run hot?
The valve or its cartridge has usually failed. On a recent Broken Arrow job the valve's parts were discontinued, so we replaced the valve.

Not always. When there is access from the other side of the wall, we cut the drywall there and leave the tile alone.
