Chapter 01
Signs a bathroom needs more than a quick fix
A leaky faucet or a toilet that keeps clogging can look like a small annoyance for a long time before it turns into a bigger one. A cracked or damaged shower pan, fixtures that have gone out of style, low water pressure, or mold and mildew that keeps coming back are all reasons to have someone take a real look rather than keep patching around it.
None of these are emergencies, but they add up. A dripping faucet wastes water every hour it runs, and a shower pan that has started to crack will keep getting worse until it is fixed properly.

What a shower and bath job actually involves
We install and replace shower pans, handle full shower and bath installs, and repair or replace faucets and toilets. If you want to see fixtures in person before you decide, the showroom at 3605 Turnpike Road keeps toilets and pedestal sinks on the floor so you can look at them rather than pick from a catalog. We carry Delta and Kohler.
One example from a review: a customer's house was 72 years old when we came out to fix a stripped hot water knob stem on the bathtub faucet, the kind of job another company had already looked at and walked away from without fixing. We finished it on the same visit and replaced the kitchen sink faucet knobs while we were there.

Warranty, and what to tell us when you call
New installations carry a 1-year warranty, and we can usually give you an estimate as soon as the next day after we look at the job. If a toilet or faucet you are dealing with turns out to be a symptom of something else, like low water pressure from the supply line, that is worth mentioning when you call so we bring the right parts the first time.
Call (757) 250-2677 to set up a time, or stop by the counter on Turnpike Road if you would rather talk it through in person.
