Every job includes the core work: diagnosis, repair or removal, new parts, sealing, and a water test.
Work order
Shower and Tub Repair and Installation- Full diagnosis and written scope: We inspect the valve, pan, drain, and surrounding wall, then confirm the source with a pressure gauge and leak detection equipment. You get a written scope and firm price before any demo starts.
- Valve and cartridge replacement: Failed cartridges and corroded valve bodies are cut out and replaced with new Moen, Delta, or Kohler parts. We match the valve body to your existing trim when possible to avoid re-tiling.
- Tub or shower pan installation: New tubs and shower pans are set level, sealed at the drain and overflow, and connected to new supply lines. We haul the old fixture away the same day and dispose of it properly.
- Drain and overflow hookup: New drain assemblies, gaskets, and overflow plates are installed and tested. We confirm the drain line is clear with a drain snake or camera before closing up the wall.

Shower and tub repair and installation rocklin CA
A shower or tub that leaks quietly damages the structure behind it. Fixing it properly the first time costs less than repairing the floor, ceiling, and framing later.
Shower and tub repair and installation rocklin CA covers the full range of work behind your bathroom walls: replacing a failed shower valve, resealing a leaking pan, swapping a worn-out tub, or converting a tub to a walk-in shower. We cut out old copper pipe or brittle PEX tubing, install new supply lines and fittings, and pressure-test everything before the wall goes back up. Most jobs take one to two days, and we handle the permit side when the Uniform Plumbing Code requires it.
Rocklin homes built in the 1980s and 1990s are hitting the age where original shower valves fail and fiberglass tubs start to flex and crack. Hard water from local wells and municipal supply leaves mineral scale that eats cartridge seals and clogs showerheads. If you've been searching for shower and tub repair and installation rocklin CA near me, we're local, we stock common Moen and Delta cartridges on the truck, and we can often finish a same day shower repair rocklin call in a single visit.

How our shower and tub service works
Every job follows the same five steps, whether it's a quick cartridge swap or a full tub replacement.
Tools and methods we use on shower and tub jobs
Each method answers a different question. Together they leave very little to guess.
Crimps PEX tubing connections when we replace supply lines. PEX handles Rocklin's water chemistry better than copper in many cases.
Confirms system pressure before and after the repair. High pressure can shorten the life of a new shower valve, so we check it on every call.
Pinpoints the source of a shower or tub leak before we open walls. Saves demo time and prevents guessing wrong.
Clears slow tub drains and confirms the branch line is open before we install a new fixture on top of it.

PhotoCracked fiberglass tub replaced in Sunset Whitney
Before: A 1990s fiberglass tub was flexing and cracking near the drain. Water was getting into the subfloor every shower, and the homeowner had already patched it twice with epoxy.
After: We removed the old tub, repaired minor subfloor damage, and installed a new acrylic tub with a fresh drain and overflow assembly. The pan seals tight, the tub doesn't flex, and the 20-minute water test showed no leaks.
Tub to shower conversion in Stanford Ranch
Before: A couple wanted to replace a standard tub with a walk-in shower for aging parents. The existing tub was hard to step into, and the drain was in the wrong spot for a shower pan.
After: We rerouted the drain, framed and waterproofed the new pan, and installed a low-threshold shower with a bench. The permit passed inspection first try, and the project took four days from demo to final test.
Failed shower valve replaced in Rocklin Heights
Before: A Moen shower valve was dripping constantly and the handle was stiff. The drip had stained the ceiling below the bathroom, and the homeowner was worried about bigger damage.
After: We replaced the cartridge first, but the valve body showed internal corrosion, so we cut it out and installed a new valve with PEX tubing. We matched the existing trim so no re-tiling was needed. The drip stopped completely.
Shower and tub problems we fix in Rocklin
Most of the calls we get are one of these four issues.
Shower drips constantly, even when turned off
A steady drip wastes 10 to 20 gallons a day, stains the ceiling below, and can rot the subfloor within a few months.
Tub pan is cracked or flexing underfoot
A cracked pan lets water into the subfloor every time you shower. Left alone, it can rot the floor joists and force a much bigger repair.
Shower valve handle is stiff or won't shut off
A valve that won't fully close means you can't stop the water without shutting off the whole house.
Water stains on the ceiling below the bathroom
Ceiling stains mean water is escaping somewhere in the shower or tub assembly.
Why Rocklin homeowners call us for showers and tubs
A failed shower valve or a leaking tub pan can rot subfloor and damage the ceiling below within weeks.
Stop leaks at the source
A dripping shower valve wastes 10 to 20 gallons a day and stains the ceiling below.

What Rocklin customers say
Our shower started dripping through the ceiling into the kitchen. Rocklin Granite Flow came out the same day, found the failed Moen cartridge, and had it replaced in about two hours. They showed me the old part and tested it with the water running before they left. No more drip, no more stain spreading. Fair price and no upsell.
We did a tub to shower conversion in our guest bath. The crew was here three days, kept the dust contained, and hauled the old tub away. The new pan is level, the drain is fast, and the inspector passed it first try. They walked me through the valve operation before they left. Would hire again.
I manage six units in Blue Oaks and use them for all my shower and tub work. They've replaced three shower valves and one tub for me this year. Always on time, always a written scope, and they coordinate with tenants directly. That saves me a lot of phone calls.

Describe what you are seeing and we will point you to the right next step.
(279) 790-0111The biggest cost drivers are tile work, drain relocation, and whether the wall has to be opened for code upgrades.
Yes. Most leaking showers we see in Rocklin are caused by a failed cartridge, a corroded valve body, or a dried-out pan seal. We diagnose with a pressure gauge and leak detection equipment, then replace the failed part. A cartridge swap takes about two hours; a valve body replacement takes three to four. We test with water running for 20 minutes before we call it done.
We do. A tub to shower conversion rocklin CA typically takes three to five days: one day for demo and drain rerouting, one to two days for framing and waterproofing, and one to two days for pan setting, tile, and fixtures. We handle the permit and the inspection. Most customers choose a low-threshold pan with a bench for safety.
The three most common causes we find in Rocklin are hard-water scale destroying cartridge seals, original 1980s and 1990s valve bodies corroding from the inside, and failed pan seals where the liner meets the drain. Rocklin's water supply leaves mineral deposits that accelerate wear. If your shower drips when it's off, the cartridge is usually the culprit. If it leaks only when running, check the pan and drain first.
