Shower Valve & Tub Spout Repair near me in Cathedral City
Most showers use a pressure-balancing or thermostatic valve behind the handle. When the cartridge or balancing spool wears or scales, temperature becomes unstable, the handle stiffens, and the shower drips. Tub spout diverters wear out too, sending water out the spout while the shower is on.
Most repairs are done through the trim without opening the wall. For shower valve repair near me, call (760) 273-8147.
