A dripping shower valve wastes water and money. A shower that won't get hot ruins your morning. Water behind the wall from a failed shower pan causes hidden damage. STL Plumbing Pros repairs shower valves, cartridges, showerheads, and pans — diagnosing the exact problem and fixing it right. For temperature issues that aren't valve-related, the problem may be your water heater.
Common Shower Problems
Dripping shower valve — wastes water even when the handle is off.
No hot water or inconsistent temperature — mixing valve cartridge issue.
Low water pressure — clogged showerhead, corroded supply lines, or valve restriction.
Water leaking behind the wall — failed seal at the valve or shower pan.
Showerhead dripping at the connection — thread tape or arm replacement needed.
Our Process
Diagnose
We identify the specific component causing the issue — cartridge, valve body, shower pan, or supply connection.
Repair
Replace the failed component with OEM or compatible parts. We carry common cartridges on the truck for same-day repair.
Test
Run the shower through its full temperature range, check for leaks behind the access panel, verify pressure and drainage.
