Tub Repair, Replacement & Installation

Whether you're dealing with an aging alcove tub or upgrading to a sleek freestanding model, Palmer Plumbing has you covered. We specialize in the repair, replacement, and installation of tubs that stand the test of time. Common concerns like leaks, clogs, and inconsistent water temperature often trace back to issues like hairline cracks in fiberglass, corroded tub waste assemblies, or undersized water heaters. Our team brings the experience and attention to detail needed to diagnose and resolve these problems quickly and efficiently.

We also offer tub-to-shower conversions and can coordinate the process seamlessly with our network of trusted tradespeople. However, we often advise homeowners to keep at least one tub in the home, as it remains a key selling point for future buyers. While we service a wide range of setups, we don’t recommend jetted or walk-in tubs due to their higher failure rates and maintenance requirements.

Water quality and older plumbing infrastructure can directly impact the life of your tub and its components. We cannot stress enough the importance of proper water treatment. Many older homes lack fixture isolation valves, making maintenance more invasive than it needs to be. That’s why we recommend quality fixtures with easily sourced parts — and we always avoid installing valve bodies on exterior walls, where repairs can get costly. Let Palmer Plumbing guide you toward solutions that make sense for your home and your future.
