Getting a replacement for your shower or tub can be a major remodeling project. Knowing when it’s the right time to undertake it can help you avoid future problems from faulty units. Tubs are designed to last fifteen to twenty years, with very few issues requiring early replacement. At Work Horse Plumbing and Drains, LLC. we work hard to make sure our customers know when to repair an existing tub or shower and when it makes more sense to replace it.

When Should You Repair Your Shower or Tub?

Getting repairs for your bathroom unit is not usually a difficult task, and with us it will never be a stressful experience. If you aren’t sure how many years your shower or tub has left, one of our technicians can visit your home and conduct an inspection in order to let you know. Usually our customers experience one of two situations where they’ll require a repair.

• Minor Leaks: Small tub leaks and minor damage are something we can fix without replacing your entire tub. Repairing a minor leak in a tub or shower pan can frequently give the fixture many more years of use. At Work Horse Plumbing and Drains, LLC. we will do an honest evaluation of the problem you are having with your tub or shower and suggest the repair or replacement options that are right for you.

• Cosmetic Issues: Old tubs and showers in odd colors and tubs that are starting to turn gray due to the use of abrasive chemicals during cleaning are problems many homeowners seek to remedy. While replacement is an option for tubs and showers in this condition, many of our customers are happy to save money by simply relining or refinishing the fixture and moving on. For a tub or shower that is in good condition in other ways, these simple fixes are a good low cost way to help a bathroom look great again.

What About Replacing Your Shower or Tub?

• Major Problems: Some leaks and damage may make it necessary to replace an old tub or shower. Replacements are often needed for tubs and shower pans that are getting near the end of their lifespan. We will let you know if it looks like a tub problem will make a replacement necessary. At Work Horse Plumbing and Drains, LLC. we try to make sure our Portland, Clackamas, Oregon City, OR. customers get the tub and shower repair or replacement they need for a reliable long term solution.

• Bathroom Remodeling: Many customers consider refinishing or lining a tub or shower pan when remodeling a bathroom. While this may seem like a good cost saving measure, the surrounding remodeling work generally makes replacing a tub easier and more cost effective than trying to keep the old one. In most cases, we recommend getting a new tub or shower when you remodel your bathroom because keeping the old one isn’t worth the cost.

Here at Work Horse Plumbing and Drains, LLC., we’ll send our Portland, Clackamas, Oregon City, OR. customers a professional plumber to help asses the problem with your tub or shower and decide whether you want to have it repaired, refinished or replaced. We know a new tub is a serious purchase, and we want to make sure our customers get what they actually need.
