Test the valve
We check temperature control and the anti-scald function. Most swings and drips trace to the cartridge inside the valve.

Shower and Tub Services: Start With What You Are Seeing
A shower that will not hold temperature, a tub drain that gurgles and crawls, or a valve that drips behind the wall can ruin the most-used room in the house. When we get a call about a shower or tub in Chapmansboro, we separate the three systems involved, the valve, the drain, and the supply, because each fails differently and the fix for one does nothing for the others.
Hard water in Cheatham County is hard on shower cartridges, and older farmhouse bathrooms often hide valves that predate modern anti-scald protection. We repair cartridges and valves on the major brands, clear and repair tub drains, and handle the plumbing for tub and shower replacements during remodels.
Signs You Need Shower and Tub Services
Call us when you notice any of these. One sign on its own can be minor, but two or more together usually mean the problem is growing, not shrinking.
- Shower water swings hot and cold
- A tub that drains slowly or gurgles
- A shower head or tub spout that drips constantly
- Low pressure in the shower only
- A remodel replacing the tub or shower
How We Fix It
Check the drain path
We clear the trap and branch and check for the venting or buildup issues that make tubs drain poorly and smell.
Repair with the right parts
Cartridges, seats, and diverters get replaced with parts matched to your valve's brand and model.
Rough-in for replacements
For a new tub or shower we set the drain and valve plumbing to the new unit's specs and pressure-test before walls close.

Repair or Replace? A Straight Guide
| What we find | What usually makes sense |
|---|---|
| Temperature swings | Cartridge replacement usual |
| Spout drips, shower weak | Diverter or cartridge |
| Tub drains slowly | Trap or branch clearing |
| New tub in a remodel | Drain and valve rough-in |
Every home is different. This table is a starting point for the conversation, not a quote. After a look at your system we will give you the specific options and prices for your house.
Cheatham Dam, built between 1949 and 1951, and the Cumberland River Bicentennial Trail at 177 Chapmansboro Rd are part of daily life here, and plenty of homes sit in low river-bottom land where backflow and sump concerns are real. That local mix shapes shower and tub services: the fix that works for a newer subdivision home off Chapmansboro Rd may not be the right fix for a farmhouse on acreage near Sycamore Creek, so we look at your water source, your drain setup, and the age of your lines before we recommend anything.

Older valves lack pressure-balancing, so a flush steals cold water and the mix swings hot, or the reverse. A modern pressure-balance or thermostatic cartridge fixes the swing and adds anti-scald protection, which matters in homes with kids and grandparents.
Often, yes. Many valves can be re-cartridged from the front, and remodel plates can cover a valve swap through the existing opening in some cases. When the valve body itself must go and access from behind is impossible, we will explain the options honestly before anyone cuts tile.
If the stopper and trap are clear, the branch line or its venting is the likely problem, especially in older homes where cast iron branches scale up. We check the branch rather than selling you repeated trap cleanings.
We handle the plumbing: drains, valves, supplies, and setting units as part of a remodel. Tile and finish carpentry belong to your remodeler, and we coordinate with their schedule so the plumbing is tested before surfaces close.
A cartridge replacement typically runs in the low hundreds. Drain work is similar, and remodel rough-in is quoted by layout after a look. The cost guide lists typical ranges.
