Bathtub Repair and Installation
Many appreciate a warm, relaxing bath after a long day. Unfortunately, bathtub issues can be a nuisance; most happen unexpectedly and may result in significant damage. However, bathtub issues can spread throughout the plumbing system if left untreated.
Property owners often try to repair the tub themselves. However, there are times when the DIY route causes more harm. What had been a problem with a reasonable price tag may evolve into something that costs far more to repair than the original concern. Expert plumbers with the skills and tools to analyze and repair the fixture should address these problems.
In addition to repairs, it is recommended that property owners have a plumber on-hand when making upgrades to bathtubs. Plumbers will quickly update the water lines and ensure the fixture works as designed, whether a new faucet fixture or a new tub.
Luckily, responsible property owners know they can rely on Solace Plumbing for trustworthy and reliable bathtub repair and installation services. Our experts deliver the best solutions for our customers to meet and exceed their needs. Whether the problem arises in a residential or commercial property, we have the tools, knowledge, and people to address all types of bathtub issues.

Shower Repair and Installation
A functioning shower is a must for any home. However, when the main shower is not working as designed or needs to be reconfigured, a plumber can help.
Plumbers help find the solution for low water pressure, a noisy shower, and sudden bursts of scalding hot water, which are some signs that the shower needs attention. In addition, if the handle won’t turn or leaks, the cartridge may need to be replaced.
During updating and remodeling, plumbers should be on hand to check the plumbing. For example, perhaps the homeowner wants a new shower head and hardware replacement or would like the shower head raised. Plumbers can ensure that the work is done correctly and won’t cause problems down the line.
Ultimately, DIY shower repairs can result in extensive damage, costly repairs, and even more expensive element replacements, and hiring a professional to complete the work is often the best choice.
Property owners in and around Gilbert can rely on Solace Plumbing to address their shower problems. Our professional plumbers also offer shower installation services that meet the highest industry standards.
Benefits of Bathtub or Shower Replacement
There are numerous reasons a property owner would want to upgrade their tubs or showers, and replacing them comes with benefits.
Bathtubs and showers with scratches and stains could use replacement for several reasons:
Added comfort.
In addition to the simple pleasure of having a new tub, modern bathtubs offer better ergonomics and features to help one relax, including water jets. They come in various sizes and styles to match any decor.
Aesthetic value.
Homeowners often replace the tiles surrounding a bathtub when installing a new fixture. The updated tub combined with improved wall covering transforms the bathroom’s appearance and adds to its aesthetic appeal.
More convenience.
Bathtub replacement lets homeowners upgrade their old faucets and nearby fixtures for maximum impact and value.
Better suited use.
Households with elderly residents may benefit from helpful features like safety steps and a handrail. This upgrade helps prevent falls and slips for older family members.
A typical tub lasts for up to 15 years.
The older the fixture, the higher the maintenance costs and inconvenience. Replacing a tub before it shows significant signs of wear and tear saves homeowners money on expensive repairs and prevents more substantial damage to the surrounding elements due to cracks and leaks.
Tips on How to Maintain Your Bathtub and Shower
Maintaining a bathtub or shower doesn’t have to be a tiresome task.
Consider these tips to prolong the life of these essential bathroom elements and make the most out of the investment…
Rinse after use.
Oils, soap, and bubble bath liquid combine to form build-up. Rinse the bathtub with plain water for 30 seconds after a shower to save time and effort on future cleaning sessions.
Use gentle cleansers weekly.
To minimize the grime build-up in a tub or shower, clean them weekly with a gentle, no-abrasive product. While generic versions are available, users can purchase bathtub cleansers from major cleaning brands. Another solution is to make a natural cleaner by mixing water and white vinegar to clean the tub and shower.
Clean the jets.
Whirlpool bath or tub owners should flush out the jets every month. Usually, turning the jets on while not bathing or using the built-in drying cycle to dry and flush out the jets quickly for air baths is all that’s needed. Cover the jets in a whirlpool tub with water, add vinegar, turn off the air induction valves, and turn on the jets. Drain the tub and repeat the process after 15 minutes.
Start scrubbing.
There’s no better way to clean a tub than a good old scrubbing. Use a commercial solution or a DIY one made with baking soda, liquid castile soap, and hydrogen peroxide.
Avoid harsh chemicals.
Harsh chemicals often do more harm than good. They should be avoided unless necessary.
