Bathtub and Shower Repairs in Toronto
Bath and shower problems are usually not as complicated as they seem, but several areas often need attention. Be it leaks, water temperature issues, dripping spouts, or blocked drains, there are quite a few things that can go wrong!
Luckily, Watermark Plumbing and Drains is here to help. We first diagnose the issue, then repair your bathtub or shower in the most timely and cost-effective way possible.
Bathtub Repair
Bathtub issues can range from slow drains to worn internal parts behind the wall. A tub repair usually involves unclogging drains, fixing leaking faucets, or replacing cartridges that control water flow and temperature.
These problems are common and generally straightforward to fix once they are properly diagnosed by a licensed plumber.
Shower Repair
A leaking shower, recurring drain clogs, or low water pressure are the most common complaints we hear. These are often signs of worn cartridges in the valves or scum and hair in the drain.
Repairs typically start with identifying the mechanical or drainage-related issue, then resolving it with the correct parts or thorough cleaning.
Stay On Top of Your Shower and Tub Faucets
A shower faucet leak may seem minor at first, but it won’t fix itself. Over time, constant dripping can waste large amounts of water and cause internal wear inside the valve.
When left unresolved, the simple fix of a leaking bathtub faucet can turn into a more extensive repair behind the wall. Addressing these faucet issues early helps protect your plumbing system and avoids unnecessary damage to the rest of your bathroom!

The combination of hair and soap scum wreaks havoc on bath and shower drains and, unsurprisingly, causes blockages. A simple way to fix this yourself is to use hot water and dish detergent to break down the buildup, followed by manually pulling the hair out (with gloves or a tool). Always avoid chemical cleaners, as they can damage pipes.
No, shower cartridges are not universal. Each manufacturer uses specific cartridge designs, and using the wrong one can cause leaks or improper temperature control. Identifying the correct cartridge is an important part of a professional repair.
Effective shower drain cleaning typically involves using a small hand auger or drain snake to remove hair and gunk near the surface. This method clears most clogs safely without damaging the drain or surrounding plumbing.
Low shower pressure is often caused by a calcified showerhead, a failing cartridge, a valve problem or even issues in your local area beyond your control. Descaling or a showerhead replacement, if worn, helps restore water pressure in most cases.
