Shower and Tub Repair in Rockville, MD

A postwar Rockville tub usually drains through a trip lever, and when the stopper stops holding water, the reason is inside the overflow tube.

Call (301) 395-3831

The lever on the overflow plate of an older tub runs a linkage down a hidden tube to a plunger that blocks the drain. Corrosion, a slipped adjustment, or a broken rod all end one way: a tub that won't hold water. Repair means pulling that linkage out through the plate.

What Affects the Cost of Shower and Tub Repair in Rockville, MD

No prices appear on this page because every job is different. What comes out of the tube tells us the rest. A linkage that's intact just needs adjusting, and that's a short visit. A rod that's rusted through means a replacement assembly, which comes out through the same opening but takes longer to fit. If the tube itself has corroded, the work moves under the tub and grows accordingly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Because the stopper isn't in the drain, it's above it. Tubs of this design use a weighted plunger that hangs inside the overflow tube and drops onto a seat when the lever moves. Nothing about it is visible from the tub. When it stops sealing, it's normally a linkage out of adjustment or a rod that's corroded and lengthened. Both come out through the plate.

It can, and it's a common request. The conversion means removing the whole linkage and fitting a stopper that seats in the drain opening instead, with a plate over the overflow. It's straightforward on a sound drain assembly. Where the existing shoe or tube is corroded, that has to be dealt with first, and we'd say so before ordering anything.
