Let’s discuss what could be involved with a shower repair.
Shower repair involving a plumbing leak
If you can see the water running out of a connection between your shower head and the wall, it might be an easy fix to simply remove the shower head and replace it.
The larger issues involve leaking handles and evident moisture from behind the wall at the valve.
Your professional plumber will know where to locate that problem so the damage is minimized.
If the framing is wet, they need to be completely dry before proceeding.
Once the leak is located and it is determined what needs to be replaced, removal can be further hampered by the age of the valve and the length of time it has been leaking.
Shower repair due to the cracked shower pan
If you have standing water around the base of the exterior of your tub or shower, you’re dealing with:

- Water getting under the fixture
- A crack around the drain

Replacing or repairing a shower pan is a big deal.

Don’t take on jobs like this by yourself. Shower repairs can be quite easy for an an experienced plumber.
The process involved in shower repairs
Faucet
One of the most common causes of shower repairs is a shower faucet or a leaking valve. It gets worse when the leak comes from the side that supplies hot water.
The water can also leak into the wall and cause wood rot which can be very expensive to repair.
Why Shower Faucets Leak
When a shower head that is dripping, it is because the shower faucet has a problem. Sometimes the faucet gets blocked by deposits from water or the faucet may be rusty.
Sometimes the cartridge in the shower faucet is worn out. The result is a constant dripping.
If you’re shower is dripping, make sure not to overtighten the valve handle.
Repair Work
When performing shower repairs, lay rags on the floor of the shower before doing any work.
A valve that shuts off the water supply to the shower is then turned off, and it is normally located outside in the front of the home.
The procedure used to perform the shower repair will depend on the type of faucet being used.
