What our shower and bathtub repair includes
Every job starts with a full diagnosis and a written price. What follows depends on what we find, but the core work below is standard on most calls.
Work order
Shower and Bathtub Repair- Full leak diagnosis: We pull the handle, inspect the cartridge, and check the pan, drain, and curb with a moisture meter. If the leak is behind the wall, we confirm it with leak detection equipment before cutting.
- Valve and cartridge replacement: We replace the failed cartridge, seats, and springs, or swap the whole mixer body when it is seized. Delta, Moen, and Kohler parts are on the truck for same-day repair.
- Pan and drain reseal: A weeping pan or loose drain gets reset and sealed with the right caulk and gaskets. We test it with a hot run before we call the job done.
- Tub replacement: When a tub is cracked or flexing, we pull it, check the subfloor, set the new tub on a mortar bed, and tie the drain and overflow back in to code.
- Pressure and leak test: Every repair ends with an 80 PSI pressure test and a 10-minute hot run. We check the ceiling below and the floor around the pan for any weeping.
- Cleanup and photo record: We haul off the old fixture, wipe down the surround, and send you photos of the repair behind the wall. You also get the cartridge model number for future reference.

What shower and bathtub repair schertz TX covers
A shower leak never stays small. Water finds the framing, the subfloor, and the ceiling below. Fixing it right the first time is cheaper than fixing the damage later.
Shower and bathtub repair schertz TX is the trade work that stops water where it starts: failed valves, cracked pans, loose drains, and tubs that flex when you step in. We open the wall, cut out the old mixer body, and solder or press in a new one. We reset pans, re-caulk seams, and replace tubs when the shell is past saving. Every job ends with a pressure test and a dry floor.
Most calls we run in Schertz come from homes built between 1995 and 2015. Builder-grade Delta and Moen cartridges wear out in 8 to 12 years, and hard water speeds that up. You might see a ceiling stain below the shower, a tub that rocks, or a valve that only gives hot water. We also take shower leak repair schertz Texas calls after a freeze snaps a line inside the wall.
- What it is
- Repair of shower valves, pans, drains, and tubs.
- When it helps
- Drips, cracks, ceiling stains, or no hot water.
- What you get

How shower and bathtub repair runs in Schertz
Schertz sits in Bexar County, and the housing stock tells the story. Most of the homes we work in were built between 1995 and 2015, which means builder-grade Delta and Moen cartridges are hitting the end of their life right now.
Schertz 78154
A mix of 1990s and 2000s builds where original shower valves are now failing at the cartridge and seat.
Schertz 78108
Newer construction with PEX supply lines. Freeze damage here usually shows at the fitting, not the pipe.
Schertz 78132
Larger lots and some well water, which means more scale and shorter cartridge life.

PhotoGuest shower valve leak stopped
Before: A 2004 Universal City home had a guest shower dripping into the wall for months. The ceiling below showed a spreading stain, and the valve only gave hot water.
After: We replaced the Moen cartridge, seats, and springs, then swapped the mixer body through a clean access panel. The line held 80 PSI for 15 minutes with no drop.
Cracked tub replaced in Cibolo
Before: A Cibolo rental had a fiberglass tub with a crack near the drain. The floor flexed when you stepped in, and the drain seal was weeping into the subfloor.
After: We pulled the tub, checked the subfloor, and set a new American Standard tub on a mortar bed. The drain and overflow were tied in and tested with a 10-minute hot run.
Frozen line repaired after freeze
Before: A hard freeze split a copper supply line inside the wall behind a Schertz shower. Water was shut off at the main, and the homeowner had no shower for two days.
After: We opened the wall, cut out the split section, and soldered in new copper pipe. The line was pressure-tested at 80 PSI and the wall was closed with an access panel.
Shower and bathtub problems we fix in Schertz
Most calls fall into a handful of patterns. Here is what we see, what happens if you wait, and how we handle it.
Shower valve drips when the handle is off
A steady drip wastes 10 to 30 gallons a day and keeps the wall cavity wet.
Tub cracks or flexes underfoot
A flexing tub floor opens the drain seal and lets water into the subfloor. Ignoring it can mean a soft floor and a much larger repair.
Water stain on the ceiling below the shower
That stain means water is escaping the pan or the drain seal.
Only hot water comes out of the shower
A failed cartridge or a crossed line limits your shower to scalding water. It usually means the mixer body needs attention, not just the handle.
Why homeowners call us first
A leaking shower wastes 10 to 30 gallons a day and rots framing behind the tile.
Stop hidden water damage
A slow valve leak can soak a stud wall for months before you see a stain.
Fix the tub, not the trim
Bathtub repair schertz TX calls often start with a hairline crack near the drain. Flex seal kits fail in a year.
One trip, parts on the truck
Our vans carry Delta, Moen, and Kohler cartridges, copper pipe, PEX tubing, and PVC fittings.
Protect the whole bathroom
Water that escapes a shower pan wicks into subfloor and drywall. We check the pan, the curb, and the drain seal on every call.

What Schertz customers say
Our guest shower had been dripping into the wall for months. Pro Plumbing Schertz found the failed Moen cartridge, replaced the valve body, and pressure-tested it. The ceiling stain stopped spreading. They were in and out in about three hours and cleaned up better than they found it.
The tub in our 2004 build had a crack near the drain and flexed when you stepped in. They pulled it, set a new American Standard tub on mortar, and tied the drain back in. No more flex, no more leak. The price matched the quote to the dollar.
I manage three rentals in Schertz and needed a shower valve repair fast. They diagnosed a seized mixer body, cut a clean access panel, and had hot and cold water balanced the same day. They sent photos of the repair behind the wall, which my tenant appreciated.

876383746We give you the price before we start.
Bathtub repair schertz TX pricing depends on whether we refinish or replace. We inspect the subfloor first, because a soft floor adds to the job.
The three most common causes are a failed cartridge, a cracked shower pan, and a loose drain seal. In Schertz, hard water eats cartridges faster, and freeze events crack pans and supply lines. We use leak detection equipment to find the source before we cut anything, so you are not paying to replace parts that are fine.
Sometimes. A hairline crack away from the drain can be sealed, but a crack near the drain or a flexing tub floor usually means replacement. We check the subfloor and the tub's support before recommending either path. If a repair will not hold, we tell you straight and quote the replacement.
