Here’s a summary of Bryan’s video on shower repair.

So there’re a couple of different things that can go wrong with a shower. If the shower pan is leaking there’s not much repairing. It’s pretty much yanking the shower pan out, which is going to involve removing tile. Pretty much at that point, you’re looking at getting a new shower. Some people like that. Some people are happy. They’re ready to get a new shower.

Some people are, like, “Oh, my God, if we got to break this thing out of here.” If it’s a fixture, the fixtures leaking, there could be a cartridge that’s bad. If it’s running, the shower head running, it’s constantly running, we can yank the cartridge out and put a new cartridge in. If it’s leaking somewhere on the wall, we may have to cut some sheet rock on the back of the wall to replace that valve.

Again, going back to the water filters. If you have a lot of calcium you can get a calcium build-up in your shower head. There’s not much I can do for that. We can either replace the shower head, or you can yank that shower head off and maybe soak in a vinegar solution and try to get it cleaned out then put it back on.
