Why Homeowners Choose Our Team for New Showers

When you are planning a new shower, you are not just choosing fixtures. You are choosing the people who will work inside your home and connect that shower to your plumbing system. Homeowners across Central Kentucky trust Clog Busterz because we combine local roots with a practical approach that puts your home and budget first.

Our company is locally owned and operated, and our plumbers work in bathrooms in and around Lexington every week. That local focus matters. It allows us to respond quickly, understand the common layouts and plumbing conditions in area homes, and be accountable to the same communities where we live and work. You are never dealing with a distant call center or a company that does not know the area.

Cost and surprises are major concerns during any bathroom project. We use upfront pricing so you know the cost of your shower installation before work begins. After we inspect your existing shower or tub area, we provide a clear estimate and explain what is included. If we uncover additional issues, such as damaged piping or hidden leaks, we discuss your options before moving forward. Our goal is to keep you in control of the decisions and avoid last minute changes that strain your budget.

Quality of work is equally important. Our plumbers are trained to focus on careful, code-compliant plumbing connections and thorough testing. We back our services with guaranteed workmanship, which means we stand behind the work we do. Combined with fast response times and same-day appointments when available, these practices make us a dependable choice for shower projects across the Lexington area.

We also know that your bathroom is part of your living space, not a construction site. Our team treats every home like our own. That includes protecting floors and nearby fixtures, working neatly, and cleaning up before we leave. You get a new or updated shower without feeling like the rest of your home was turned upside down in the process.

Our Shower Installation Process From Start to Finish

Knowing what will happen during your shower installation can relieve a lot of stress. We follow a clear, step-by-step process so you always understand what comes next and how long your bathroom will be affected.

Initial Call & In-Home Assessment

The process begins when you call our office. Our team asks a few basic questions about your bathroom, such as whether you currently have a tub or shower, if you have noticed any leaks, and what type of shower you plan to install. This information helps us schedule the right amount of time and arrive prepared for the conditions we are likely to find in your Lexington home.

During the on-site visit, our plumber inspects the existing fixtures, drain location, and accessible water lines. In older houses, we also look for signs of past leaks, aging valves, or unusual pipe routing that could affect the project. We then discuss your goals, such as replacing a worn-out insert, updating fixtures, or converting from a tub to a shower.

Upfront Pricing & Scheduling

After this assessment, we provide a written or clearly stated price for the shower installation before any work begins. We explain what the price includes and talk through any variables, such as repairs that could be needed if we discover hidden damage behind the wall. Our upfront pricing approach is designed to eliminate guesswork, so you can decide how to move forward with a full understanding of cost.

Once you approve the work, we schedule the installation. The timeline depends on the scope of the project. Many straightforward replacements can be completed within a day. More complex jobs, such as moving plumbing lines or working around tile changes, can take longer. We discuss timing with you in advance, especially if the bathroom is the primary shower for your household.

Installation Day & Final Walkthrough

On installation day, our team arrives on time and prepares the work area. We protect floors and nearby surfaces, then carefully remove the old tub or shower if we are handling that part of the job. We install the new shower valves and connections, set the new unit or tie into your chosen surround, and perform all necessary plumbing connections. When the installation is in place, we thoroughly test both the water supply and the drain to look for any leaks or slow drainage.

Before we leave, we clean the work area and walk through the finished shower with you. We explain what we did, answer questions about using the new fixtures, and review any care or maintenance tips that can help protect your investment. Our workmanship guarantee supports that process and reflects our commitment to doing the job correctly.

Types of Shower Projects We Help With

Every bathroom is different, and homeowners come to us with a wide range of shower plans. Our team handles many kinds of shower installation projects for properties in Lexington and surrounding Central Kentucky communities.

Shower Replacements

Some homeowners are simply replacing an older fiberglass or acrylic shower with a new unit. In these situations, we remove the existing shower, assess the drain and valve locations, and install the new base and valve in the same general configuration when practical. This often provides a cleaner, more modern look without major changes behind the wall.

Tub-to-Shower Updates

Others are updating a bathroom by converting a tub area into a walk-in shower. For those projects, we evaluate whether the existing drain and supply lines can support the new layout and help you understand what changes may be required. While we do not provide design services, we work to coordinate our plumbing work with the rest of your remodel plan so the new shower lines up correctly with the planned walls, doors, or surrounds.

Upgrades in Older Homes

We also help owners of older homes in the Lexington-Fayette area upgrade aging showers. Many of these bathrooms have plumbing hidden behind tile or plaster. In these cases, we pay close attention to access points, valve condition, and the condition of older piping. Our goal is to connect the new shower in a way that respects the existing structure while bringing the plumbing up to current expectations for reliability.

Valve & Fixture Changes

In addition, we install and replace shower valves and fixtures when homeowners are refreshing the look of the bathroom or solving performance issues. If low pressure, temperature swings, or dripping heads are driving you to replace the shower, we can evaluate whether the problem lies in the valve, the head, or deeper in the line and handle the necessary plumbing work during the installation.

Protecting Your Home From Leaks & Water Damage

One of the biggest worries with any shower project is the risk of water getting where it should not be. A small leak behind a shower wall can damage subfloors and framing, and over time it can lead to mold and costly repairs. Choosing a careful installer is one of the best ways to reduce that risk.

At Clog Busterz, we focus on the plumbing connections and testing steps that help keep water contained where it belongs. When we remove an old shower, we look for signs of past leaks or water stains around the drain, valve, or supply lines. If we find issues, we talk with you about repair options before installing the new unit so weak points are addressed instead of covered up.

During installation, our plumbers follow accepted plumbing practices and applicable local codes for your part of Kentucky. That includes properly securing and sealing connections, setting valves at the correct depth, and making sure the drain assembly is seated and tightened correctly. While we do not control every part of the finished surface, such as tile work in a larger remodel, we work to ensure that the plumbing we install is sound and ready for that finish work.

Once the new shower is in place, we test it thoroughly. We run the water, check for leaks at accessible joints, and watch how the water drains. If adjustments are needed, we make them before considering the job complete. Our workmanship guarantee supports this process and reflects our commitment to giving you a shower that performs reliably long after we leave your Lexington home.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long will my shower be out of service during installation?

For many straightforward shower replacements, your shower is typically out of service for about a day, although the exact time depends on the scope of work. Simple swaps where plumbing stays in the same place are often faster than projects that involve moving lines or repairing hidden damage. In older homes or remodel situations, additional time may be needed to address underlying issues before the new shower goes in. When we assess your bathroom, we explain the expected timeline so you can plan around your family’s schedule. Our goal is to complete the work efficiently without rushing steps that protect against leaks and future problems.

Can your team replace my old tub with a new shower?

We can often replace an existing tub with a new shower, and this is a common request from homeowners who want a more accessible or modern layout. Whether it is practical in your bathroom depends on factors such as drain location, wall configuration, and the condition of the existing plumbing. During our visit, we look at these details and explain what changes may be needed to support the new shower. We then provide an upfront price that reflects the actual work involved. While we do not handle every part of a full remodel, we work to coordinate our plumbing work with your broader plan so the new shower fits properly in the updated space.

What affects the cost of a new shower installation?

The main factors that affect cost are the complexity of the project and the condition of your current plumbing. Replacing a shower in the same location with sound existing lines is usually less involved than moving pipes, changing the drain position, or repairing old leaks. The type of shower unit or surround you choose and how much demolition is required can also influence labor. During our in-home assessment, we examine these details closely and discuss what we find. Then we present a clear, upfront price so you can decide how to proceed with full knowledge of the likely cost.

Do you guarantee your shower installation work?

Yes, our shower installation work is backed by guaranteed workmanship. This means we stand behind the plumbing services we provide and work to address issues that arise from our work. While every home and product can have unique factors, our commitment is to deliver shower installations that are connected correctly, tested carefully, and built to perform over time. When we review your project with you, we can explain how our workmanship guarantee applies to your specific job so you feel comfortable with the support behind the service.
