Shower & Bathtub Plumbing in the South Bay
Scarring, a leaking pan, or a tub-to-shower conversion — share photos of the valve and drain.
Schulze Plumbing Inc. provides Shower & Bathtub Plumbing in the South Bay / Los Angeles County area. See cities we serve or call 310-487-2975.
Shower and tub plumbing is valves, mixing, showerheads, tub spouts, overflows, and drains. A cartridge swap is a service call. A leaking pan or a move from tub to shower is a rough-plumbing project that has to happen before waterproofing.
Many South Bay baths still have the original two-handle valves. Pressure-balance or thermostatic valves are a different rough. If tile is staying, we talk about access through an adjacent closet or ceiling before we promise a hidden repair.
Common symptoms
- A shower that scalds or will not hold temperature
- Water in the ceiling below a tub or in the unit downstairs
- A slow tub drain that is not just hair in the stopper
- A remodel that removes the tub
What this service involves
- Diagnosing cartridge vs valve body vs drain/pan
- Replacing valves while walls are open, or through an agreed access
- Resetting tubs or connecting new shower drains and mixing valves

FAQ
- Do you do the tile and pan waterproofing?
- Those are typically other trades. We set the plumbing to the pan and valve specifications you or the tile contractor provide.
- Can you replace a valve without opening the wall?
- Cartridges yes, in most cases. Valve bodies usually need access. We will not claim a no-damage repair if the body has to come out.
- Is a curbless shower more plumbing?
- It can be. Drain location, slope, and mixing-valve height all change. Send the accessibility drawings if you have them.
