FAQs
How do I know if my shower valve needs to be repaired or fully replaced?
Common warning signs are fluctuating water temperature, difficulty turning the handle, visible leaks behind the trim plate, or low water pressure only in the shower. If the valve body is corroded, cracked, or an obsolete model with no available parts, a full replacement is recommended. During an on-site inspection our Jefferson City technicians can tell whether a cartridge swap or a complete valve change will give you the most reliable long-term fix.
What types of shower valves can you install or service in Jefferson City homes?
We work on all major valve configurations, including pressure-balancing, thermostatic, diverter, transfer, and mixing valves from brands such as Moen, Delta, Kohler, Pfister, Symmons, and American Standard. We also install anti-scald code-compliant valves, ADA-friendly single-handle controls, and three-way diverters for multi-head custom showers. If you have a specialty or imported valve, share the model number and we’ll verify part availability before scheduling service.
Will replacing my shower valve require opening up the wall?
Many replacements do involve removing a portion of drywall or tile to access the valve body. However, we use minimally invasive techniques and cut only the section necessary for proper soldering or PEX connections. After the plumbing work is complete, we can install an access panel or refer you to a trusted local tile pro for seamless patching. If your current setup has a remodel plate or rear-wall access (common in adjacent closets), we may be able to avoid front-side demolition altogether.
How long does a typical shower valve replacement take, and will I be without water?
Most standard replacements are completed in 2–4 hours. We shut off water only to the bathroom or the whole house for approximately 60–90 minutes while we remove the old valve, sweat or crimp the new connections, and pressure-test the system. Once we confirm there are no leaks, we restore water service so you can use sinks and toilets while we finish reassembling the trim.
Are permits required in Jefferson City for shower valve replacements, and do you handle them?
Jefferson City code requires a plumbing permit when you replace or relocate any concealed valve, particularly if soldering copper or altering water supply lines. We take care of the permitting process for you: filing the application, paying the municipal fee, scheduling inspections, and providing documentation for your records. This ensures your project is fully code-compliant and covered by our workmanship warranty.
What does a shower valve replacement cost in Jefferson City, and what factors affect the price?
Most of our residential valve replacements range from $350 to $750 total. The final cost depends on the valve type (basic pressure-balance vs. high-end thermostatic), wall material (drywall is cheaper to open and repair than porcelain tile), pipe material (copper vs. PEX), any additional trim upgrades, and permit fees. During a free in-home estimate, we itemize parts, labor, and optional wall repair so you know exactly what you’re paying for before work begins.
