Dripping showerhead, stuck handle, or temperature that won't behave? We repair worn shower valves and cartridges.
Shower valve repair usually comes down to a worn cartridge or seals — the parts inside the valve that stop the water and mix the temperature. When they wear, you get a showerhead that drips constantly, a handle that's stiff or loose, or water that runs hot and cold on its own. Flat Rate Plumbing Company replaces the worn parts and restores smooth, steady control.
A constantly dripping shower isn't just an annoyance — it wastes water around the clock and can leave mineral staining behind. And temperature that swings on its own is a comfort and scalding concern worth fixing.
A licensed Texas Master Plumber since 1984, Roy repairs shower valves throughout Grand Prairie, Arlington, Cedar Hill, Mansfield, and Duncanville — with one upfront flat-rate price approved before the work starts.
From a steady drip to a stubborn handle, here's what's covered.
Worn cartridges and seals replaced to stop the drip.
Erratic hot-and-cold behavior diagnosed and stabilized.
Handles that stick, spin, or leak repaired.
Repair checked for leaks, temperature, and flow.
Unlike a faucet you can see, a shower that drips does it out of sight and around the clock — so the wasted water adds up fast, and constant moisture can stain the tub or grow mildew. The usual cause is a worn cartridge, and it only gets worse the longer it runs.
Roy replaces the worn cartridge and seals, frees up a stiff handle, and stabilizes the temperature — then tests it to confirm the drip is gone and the water behaves. If your valve is old enough that parts are hard to find, he'll tell you honestly whether repair or a new valve is the better move.
One upfront flat-rate price, parts included, approved before any work begins.
When Roy's finished, the drip is gone and the temperature holds steady:

That's a worn cartridge inside the valve. No amount of turning the handle will stop it, because the part that's supposed to seal the water has worn out. Replacing the cartridge is the fix, and it stops both the drip and the wasted water.
Yes. Erratic temperature usually means a worn cartridge or a valve that lacks pressure balancing. Roy can repair the valve to stabilize it, or recommend a pressure-balanced replacement if that's the better long-term fix.
If parts are available for your valve, a cartridge-and-seal repair is usually the quick, economical fix. If it's a very old or obscure valve, Roy will give you an honest recommendation on replacing it.
