Types of Showers and Tubs We Install
Choosing the right shower or tub depends on your bathroom's layout, your household's needs, and your personal style. Vancouver homes range from compact condos to spacious character houses, so our technicians are experienced installing fixtures that work well in a wide variety of spaces. Some of the most popular options we install throughout Vancouver, BC include:
- Walk-In Showers: A great option for accessibility and modern design, walk-in showers eliminate the step-over threshold of a traditional tub-shower combo and can be customized with multiple showerheads or built-in seating.
- Freestanding Tubs: Ideal for soaking, freestanding tubs are typically deeper than conventional tubs and make a strong visual statement in a bathroom, often becoming the centerpiece of a renovation.
- Whirlpool Tubs: If your goal is to create an indoor oasis, a whirlpool tub offers a spa-like experience right at home, with jets designed to soothe sore muscles after a long day.
- Recessed Tubs: Open on one side with a drain that can be located almost anywhere, recessed tubs are a versatile, space-efficient option well suited to smaller Vancouver bathrooms.
- Tub and Shower Combination Units: Often paired with side panels, these units combine the functionality of both a tub and shower in one space-saving fixture, making them a practical choice for family bathrooms.
Each of these options comes in a range of materials, finishes, and price points, so our technicians will always take your budget and preferences into account before making a recommendation.
Choosing the Right Shower or Tub for Your Bathroom
With so many options available, choosing the right shower or tub can feel overwhelming. Our technicians take the time to understand your bathroom's dimensions, your household's needs, and your personal preferences before making a recommendation. Factors we consider include the available space, existing plumbing connections, how many people use the bathroom regularly, and whether accessibility features like grab bars or a lower threshold are a priority. We're happy to walk you through the pros and cons of each option so you can make an informed decision. For households with older family members or anyone with mobility concerns, we can also recommend walk-in showers or tubs with added safety features, such as non-slip surfaces or built-in seating.
Signs Your Shower or Tub Needs Repair
Not sure whether your existing shower or tub needs a repair or a full replacement? A few common signs can help you decide:
- Persistent leaks around the base, faucet, or showerhead, which can lead to water damage if left unaddressed
- Cracked, chipped, or discolored surfaces that may allow water to seep behind tile or drywall
- Water pooling or draining slowly after use, often a sign of a partial clog or a drain that's losing its slope
- Loose or wobbly fixtures, which can indicate worn seals or a fixture that's no longer properly secured
- Outdated fixtures that no longer match the rest of your bathroom or that are becoming difficult to source replacement parts for
- Mold or mildew that keeps returning despite regular cleaning, which can point to a hidden leak or ventilation issue
If you're noticing any of these signs, our technicians can assess whether a repair will resolve the issue or whether it's time to consider a full shower or tub replacement. In many cases, an early repair, such as re-caulking, replacing a worn gasket, or fixing a loose fixture, can extend the life of your existing shower or tub and help you avoid a costly replacement altogether.
Shower and Tub Drain Cleaning & Repair
Existing tubs and showers in a bathroom may have drains that are clogged. You may also have showers or tubs with old fixtures that need to be replaced. Lambert Heating & Plumbing has the best equipment to clean out clogged drains in any tub or shower, restoring proper drainage without the need for harsh chemicals. Hair, soap scum, and mineral buildup are common culprits behind slow-draining showers and tubs, and our technicians can quickly identify and resolve the underlying cause rather than offering only a temporary fix. In more stubborn cases, our technicians can also determine whether the issue extends beyond the drain itself and into the connecting plumbing, ensuring the root cause is addressed rather than just the symptom.
The workmanship that is performed by our technicians includes a customer satisfaction guarantee. The goal of each job is to make sure the customer is completely satisfied. If you have any questions about a shower or tub installation in your home, then contact us today. A technician will be dispatched to provide an estimate for the work after first performing an assessment. We understand that a shower or tub is one of the most frequently used fixtures in your home, so we aim to complete every installation and repair with minimal disruption to your daily routine.
