Kay Plumbing offers Shower & Tub Installation and Repair in Lexington & Richland Counties

Common Shower & Tub Problems We Repair

The bathroom plumbing gets heavy use and is always exposed to water and pressure.

Over time, you might notice problems with:

  • Shower valves
  • Cartridge systems
  • Drain assemblies
  • Overflow drains
  • Caulking and seals
  • Supply line connections

These issues can cause:

  • Dripping showerheads
  • Slow drains
  • Water leaks
  • Low water pressure
  • Cracked tubs
  • Temperature fluctuations
  • Water behind walls

In the Midlands, water high in minerals can cause buildup in shower cartridges and valves. If your shower handle is hard to turn or the water temperature changes suddenly, mineral buildup could be damaging your fixture.

A professional can determine whether the problem is with the fixture, a hidden leak, or the drainage system.

Shower Installation & Replacement Services

Modern showers offer better plumbing performance, water savings, and added comfort features. We install:

  • Walk-in showers
  • Tile shower systems
  • Multi-head shower systems
  • Rainfall shower fixtures
  • ADA-accessible showers
  • Pressure-balancing valves
  • Shower drain systems

A good installation should include:

  • Secure plumbing connections
  • Waterproofing coordination
  • Drainage slope verification
  • Pressure testing
  • Leak prevention measures

Upgrading your shower can improve your bathroom, increase your home’s value, and help you avoid future repairs.

Bathtub Installation & Replacement

Bathtubs need the right support and plumbing to avoid leaks and drainage problems down the road.

We install:

  • Standard bathtubs
  • Soaking tubs
  • Freestanding tubs
  • Whirlpool tubs
  • Alcove bathtubs
  • Accessible bathing systems

Many basic fiberglass tubs crack over time because they weren’t installed with enough support underneath.

We make sure your tub is properly supported and stabilized to help prevent shifting, cracking, and hidden leaks.

Having your tub installed by a professional also helps prevent future drainage problems and moisture getting into the area around the tub.

Shower & Bathtub Leak Repair

Even small leaks in the bathroom can slowly damage your walls, floors, and the structure underneath.

Leaks commonly develop around:

  • Shower valves
  • Drain connections
  • Tub overflows
  • Tile penetrations
  • Caulking failures
  • Supply line fittings

Many homeowners first notice:

  • Ceiling stains below the bathrooms
  • Mold odors
  • Loose tile
  • Soft flooring
  • Water stains
  • Increased water bills

A professional can identify the source of the leak before it causes bigger problems in your home.

Is your showerhead always dripping? Even small leaks can waste thousands of gallons of water each year.

Water Pressure & Fixture Performance

Modern showers need balanced water pressure to work well and keep the temperature steady.

Homes throughout:

  • Lexington
  • Red Bank
  • Irmo
  • Chapin

may notice changes in water pressure as the Midlands area grows.

Improper pressure levels may contribute to:

  • Cartridge wear
  • Dripping fixtures
  • Valve failure
  • Uneven temperatures
  • Reduced fixture lifespan

We check how your fixtures and plumbing are working to help your bathroom stay reliable and avoid future problems.

  • Walk-in showers
  • Comfort-height fixtures
  • Thermostatic mixing valves

In 2026, South Carolina plumbing standards continue emphasizing anti-scald protection for residential showers. Modern pressure-balancing valves help stop sudden bursts of hot water when pressure changes in your home, making your bathroom safer and more comfortable.

Repair or Replace: Which Is Best?

You don’t always need to replace your shower or tub when there’s a problem.

Some systems may qualify for:

But if your fixtures are old and keep leaking or having problems, it might be better to replace them with newer, more reliable options.

We check the plumbing, fixtures, and any moisture issues before recommending the best long-term fix.
