Fix & Flow is dedicated to providing high-quality plumbing services that not only address immediate problems but also improve the overall functionality to make our neighbors’ lives a little easier. When Joseph reached out for help with an extensive shower repair and renovation project, our team was excited to collaborate and bring his vision to life.

Project Overview

Joseph’s primary concern was updating the aging plumbing in his shower, which included replacing the outdated fixtures and repairing some persistent leaks. Our team performed a thorough inspection and came up with a plan to update the shower with modern, efficient, and aesthetically pleasing hardware and fixtures.

Shower Upgrades and Valve Replacement

We began by removing the old three-handle shower valve and replaced it with a new, single-handle pressure balancing Kohler model. This required our crew to cut out the existing tile and install new water lines from the valve to the basement, connecting with both the main and second-floor showers.

Next, our crew installed bracing inside the wall to support the new valve and fitted the unit with a chrome remodel plate to cover the old holes. Our team also installed a matching Kohler tub spout to ensure a cohesive and updated look for the shower and tub.

We finished this part of the job by fitting the shower with new Kohler shower doors, trimmed and cut to match the tub opening, ensuring a perfect fit and seamless look.

Drain System Upgrade

To prevent future leaks, our team installed a new brass waste and overflow assembly with a chrome-plated shower drain and overflow cover. We also removed the old cast iron P-trap, replacing it with a new PVC drain line. This helps to prevent clogging from hair and soap scum as well as prevent leaking in the event that the P-trap fails.

Tankless Water Heater Service

In addition to the shower repairs, we also performed routine maintenance on Joseph’s tankless water heater, flushing the system with a cleaning solution and clearing any debris from the intake screen.

Conclusion

Joseph’s shower repair and renovation project highlights our commitment to delivering expert plumbing services in Dunwoody and throughout the Atlanta area. For extra peace of mind, we also provided Joseph with a one-year parts and labor warranty. If you’re considering a shower or bathtub renovation for your home, our team is here to help.
