Shower Services FAQ — Arlington Heights

Can you convert my bathtub to a walk-in shower?

Yes. The plumbing changes include relocating the drain (tub drains are in a different position than shower drains), modifying supply lines for the new shower valve height, and installing a new shower valve. We coordinate with your tile/glass installer for a seamless result.

How much does it cost to install a new shower in a basement bathroom?

The plumbing rough-in for a new basement shower typically costs $1,500–$4,000 depending on drain accessibility (whether we need to cut concrete), distance to the main drain, and venting requirements. This covers drain, supply lines, shower valve, and all connections.

Why does my shower have low water pressure?

Common causes include a clogged shower head (mineral buildup — soak in vinegar overnight), a failing shower cartridge, partially closed supply valves, or restricted supply lines in older homes with galvanized pipes. We diagnose the specific cause during a service call.

What type of shower valve should I choose?

We recommend pressure-balanced valves as a minimum (prevents temperature swings when other fixtures are used). Thermostatic valves offer the best temperature control and are ideal for multi-head shower systems. We can help you choose based on your budget and shower configuration.
