Shower Valve Repair in Jacksonville, FL

Jacksonville – St. Augustine – Ponte Vedra

When your shower won’t turn off, can’t hold temperature, or sounds like it’s hissing behind the wall—it’s usually your shower valve.

And while a faulty valve might feel like a big issue, it’s a common problem we solve every week across Jacksonville. At Turner Plumbing, we handle leaking, worn, and malfunctioning shower valves with the tools and experience to fix it right the first time—without making a mess or pressuring you into a new fixture.

Whether your shower is dripping behind the tile, losing pressure, or giving you an ice bath halfway through, we’ll get your water flowing the way it should.

What Is a Shower Valve?

Your shower valve is the control mechanism behind the wall that regulates:

  • Water temperature
  • Pressure
  • Whether water comes from the tub spout or the showerhead

When this valve fails or wears out, the symptoms can range from subtle to obvious:

  • Drips you can’t stop
  • Poor temperature control
  • Water coming from both spout and showerhead at once
  • Full loss of pressure or flow
  • Water leaking behind the wall or into the floor below

Signs You Need Shower Valve Repair

  • Water won’t shut off completely
  • Water drips from the showerhead or tub spout after use
  • Sudden swings in temperature
  • Low water pressure in just the shower
  • Loud squealing, grinding, or hissing when turning the handle
  • Handle feels loose, stuck, or spins without control
  • Water damage on nearby walls or ceilings

What to Expect During a Shower Valve Repair Visit

Step 1: Inspection and Diagnosis

We test your valve and check water flow and pressure. If needed, we shut off water locally to confirm the issue.

Step 2: Targeted Repair

We remove and replace worn parts, rebuild or reset the valve. We work cleanly to minimize wall or tile access.

Step 3: Testing and Final Check

We test flow, temperature control, and shut-off. We inspect for damage or mold and explain prevention steps.

Repair vs. Replacement: What Makes Sense?

Often we repair by replacing a cartridge, seal, or diverter. We recommend full replacement if:

  • The valve body is cracked or corroded
  • It’s an obsolete model with no available parts
  • The valve doesn’t meet current code for temperature control
  • You’re planning a bathroom remodel

What Happens After the Repair?

  • No more dripping or running water
  • A fully functioning shut-off valve
  • Consistent hot and cold balance
  • Stable water pressure
  • Peace of mind knowing you’re not leaking behind the wall

Shower Valve Repair FAQs

How do I know if the valve is leaking behind the wall?

Look for wet drywall, stains below, musty smells, or dripping sounds when the shower is off.

Will the repair damage my tile or wall?

We use rear access panels or minimal openings and keep the work clean and controlled.

Can I replace the cartridge myself?

While some cartridges are simple, many require special tools and expertise to avoid damage. It’s best to call us when in doubt.
