Re-caulking a tub is unglamorous. It's also the single cheapest thing standing between you and a subfloor repair.
Bathrooms are where small maintenance failures turn into expensive ones fastest, because everything is wet and most of the damage happens out of sight. A caulk line that has pulled away from the tub looks cosmetic. It's a direct path for water into the wall and floor.
Most of what we do here is quick, flat-rated and worth staying ahead of.
Flat rates from our published catalog, quoted in writing before any work starts. A $95 minimum service call applies per visit — bundling several tasks into one visit is always better value.
Prices assume normal access and sound existing conditions. Anything that needs eyes on it first — active leaks, rot, hidden damage — is quoted as preliminary until we’ve seen it.
The Treasure Valley has some of the hardest water in the country, and it shapes almost everything in this category. Mineral scale builds inside faucet cartridges and showerhead nozzles, cutting flow and eventually seizing the mechanism.
That's why a faucet here often fails years earlier than its warranty implies — and why a swap is frequently more sensible than a repair kit once the cartridge has scaled. It's also why re-grouting is more common here: hard water leaves deposits that hold moisture against the grout line.
If you're replacing fixtures anyway, it's a reasonable moment to think about whether a softener makes sense for the house. We install them onto an existing loop.
Every three to five years for most bathrooms, sooner in a heavily used shower. Replace it as soon as you see it lifting, cracking or discolouring at the edge — that's not cosmetic, that's water getting behind it.
Yes, because we anchor into studs or add solid blocking behind the wall, then load-test each one before leaving. Grab bars fixed with drywall anchors alone will pull out under real weight, which defeats the entire purpose.
In this valley it's usually mineral scale in the showerhead or the cartridge, not the plumbing. Cleaning or replacing the fixture solves most cases. If pressure is low at every fixture in the house, that's a different problem and we'll say so.
