Common bathtub problems we solve
These are the issues we see most often in Lakeland homes. If yours is on this list, we can fix it.
Leaking drain or overflow
Water stains ceilings, rots subfloor, and wastes water. It can also cause mold growth. We replace the drain gasket and reseal the overflow.
Cracked or chipped tub surface
Cracks trap dirt and can worsen, leading to a full replacement. They also look unsightly. We clean and fill the crack with epoxy or acrylic.
Dripping tub faucet
A drip wastes hundreds of gallons per year. It also stains the tub and increases water bills. We replace the faucet cartridge, seats, and O-rings.
Slow or clogged drain
Standing water is unsanitary and can overflow. It often signals a deeper clog in the drain line.
