Most leaking shower calls are caused by a worn internal cartridge or stem. In many cases, a professional shower cartridge replacement will stop the leak completely and restore normal water control.
Guaranteed Plumbing provides shower repair service throughout Victorville, Hesperia, Apple Valley, Adelanto, Phelan, and Helendale.
Shower Cartridge Replacement for Leaking Shower Faucets
If your shower continues dripping after being turned off, the most likely cause is a worn cartridge or thermostatic mixing valve.
This is one of the most common types of leaking shower repair, and replacing the cartridge is often the most affordable solution.
Guaranteed Plumbing repairs and replaces cartridges for popular brands commonly found throughout the Victor Valley, including:
Moen
Delta
Price Pfister
Danco
American Standard
Glacier Bay
Some shower cartridges can become difficult to remove after years of mineral buildup. Homeowners sometimes attempt DIY repairs using screwdrivers or pliers, only to damage the valve body inside the wall.
Guaranteed Plumbing uses professional cartridge puller tools designed for safe removal.
Standard shower cartridge replacement includes a 60-day workmanship warranty.
Shower Valve Replacement in the Wall
When a cartridge becomes seized or has been damaged during removal attempts, the entire valve assembly may need replacement.
A full shower valve replacement is a more involved repair requiring wall access, pipe modifications, and careful installation to ensure proper hot and cold water balance.
This type of shower valve repair typically costs several hundred dollars depending on accessibility and materials required.
Because of the complexity of these repairs, Guaranteed Plumbing provides a 1-year workmanship warranty on complete in-wall valve replacement and other leaking pipe services.
Tub Spout Replacement and Shower Handle Repair
Another common issue is water leaking from the tub spout or a loose shower handle that no longer turns properly.
Guaranteed Plumbing offers:
Tub spout replacement
Bathtub faucet repair
Shower handle replacement
Trim kit installation
Leaking tub spouts often indicate internal valve wear, but sometimes replacing the spout itself resolves the issue.
Customer-supplied shower sprayers and fixture upgrades can also be professionally installed.
Shower Drain Repair
Leaks under the tub or shower are sometimes caused by failed drain fittings.
Guaranteed Plumbing provides shower drain repair for leaking drain assemblies, damaged seals, and complex top-access drain replacements.
Some specialty repairs can be completed from above without opening ceilings below, saving time and reducing repair costs.

How do I know if I need shower cartridge replacement?
If your shower keeps dripping after being turned off, has inconsistent water temperature, or the handle feels loose or difficult to turn, you may need shower cartridge replacement. In most cases, a worn cartridge or thermostatic mixing valve is the cause of a leaking shower faucet and can be replaced without opening the wall.
Can a leaking shower valve be repaired without replacing the whole valve?
Yes. Most leaking shower repair calls only require replacing the internal cartridge or stem. Full shower valve replacement is usually only needed when the valve body inside the wall is damaged, corroded, or broken during a previous repair attempt.
What causes a shower valve to fail?
The most common causes are mineral buildup, normal wear over time, hard water deposits, and improper removal attempts. In Victor Valley homes, mineral buildup is especially common and can cause cartridges to seize inside the valve body, making professional removal necessary.
How much does shower repair cost?
Pricing depends on the type of repair needed. Basic shower cartridge fixes are usually much more affordable than full shower valve replacement, which can cost several hundred dollars due to wall access and pipe modifications. Guaranteed Plumbing provides upfront estimates before starting work.
Can shower drain leaks be repaired from the top?
Sometimes. Certain shower drain jobs can be completed from above using specialty repair fittings, avoiding the need to open the ceiling below. The repair method depends on the type of drain, accessibility, and condition of the surrounding plumbing.
