Bathroom plumbing problems we fix
Most bathroom plumbing problems have a root cause that’s different from the visible symptom. We diagnose before recommending repairs — so you get a fix that holds rather than a patch that fails again.
Shower valve & cartridge repair
Shower that drips when off, shower with no hot water or no cold water, shower that won’t hold temperature, pressure-balance valve that has stopped balancing. We replace shower cartridges and pressure-balance valves across all major brands: Moen, Delta, Kohler, American Standard — carrying common cartridges on the truck for same-visit repairs on most models.
Tub faucet & diverter repair
Bathtub faucet that drips, tub spout that leaks at the base, tub/shower diverter that won’t redirect flow fully or gets stuck. We repair or replace the valve, cartridge, or diverter as needed — and assess whether the issue is the component itself or a water pressure or supply line problem behind it.
Shower pan & tub drain repair
Leaking shower drain, shower pan that holds water, tub drain that is slow or won’t open fully, drain body that is loose or corroded. Hair and soap buildup in shower and tub drains cause most slow drain problems — but a cracked or improperly seated drain body causes leaks into the ceiling below. We diagnose which before recommending the repair.
Bathroom sink leak repair
Leak under the vanity cabinet — at the drain, p-trap, supply lines, or shutoff valves. Many under-sink leaks are slow drips that go unnoticed until the cabinet bottom is rotted. We locate the source, replace the failed component with quality materials, and check the shutoff valve condition while access is already available.
Slow bathroom drain clearing
Slow shower, tub, or sink drain — caused by hair, soap scum, and product buildup over time. We clear bathroom drain clogs properly, including drain snake and drain cleaning for routine blockages. For recurring slow drains that clear and clog again repeatedly, we assess whether the drain line itself needs camera inspection and hydro jetting to address buildup further down the line.
Leaking pipe behind bathroom walls
Water stain on the ceiling below a bathroom, dampness behind drywall, or a bathroom that smells musty without a visible source — all signs of a hidden supply or drain line leak behind the wall or under the floor. We use acoustic detection to locate the leak point precisely before opening any tile, drywall, or flooring.
New bathroom plumbing — fixtures, upgrades & remodels
Replacing a shower valve, adding a second bathroom, or replumbing a full bath remodel — Crest handles every bathroom plumbing installation in Cookeville with the same standards and flat-rate pricing as our repair work.
Shower valve replacement & upgrade
Replace an old or failing shower valve with a new thermostatic or pressure-balance unit — providing consistent temperature, better pressure performance, and anti-scald protection. We handle the valve body replacement, trim installation, and all supply connections. If the existing valve is accessible through the wall, we assess access requirements before opening any tile.
Bathtub installation & replacement
New tub installation or tub replacement — supply connections, drain and overflow assembly, tub valve and spout, and shutoff valve installation. We coordinate with your contractor on the tub alcove framing and drain rough-in position to ensure proper drain slope and access for future service. Freestanding tub installations require floor supply and drain rough-in — we handle the full rough-in before flooring is installed.
Adding a bathroom — rough-in
Adding a half bath, full bath, or basement bathroom requires new supply and drain rough-in, proper venting, and drain connection to the main waste stack. This is a permitted job in Cookeville — we handle the permit, the rough-in, the rough-in inspection, and the finish plumbing. Call us before construction starts so we can plan the rough-in around the layout rather than retrofitting it later.
Shower system installation
Converting a tub-only bath to a dedicated shower, installing a new shower in an existing space, or adding a walk-in shower in a bathroom remodel. We handle rough-in, drain placement, shower valve and trim installation, and all supply connections — coordinating with your tile contractor on rough-in dimensions before any tile is set.
Bathroom vanity & sink installation
New vanity installation — drain assembly, p-trap, supply connections, and shutoff valves. We install customer-supplied vanities or can advise on specifications. If an existing vanity is being replaced, we replace the shutoff valves at the same time as a matter of course — old stuck shutoff valves are one of the most common bathroom plumbing failures we see in Cookeville homes.
Bathroom remodel plumbing
Full plumbing scope for a bathroom remodel — new fixture locations, supply and drain rough-in, shower and tub valve rough-in, vanity rough-in, and finish connections after tile and fixtures are set. We work with your GC and tile contractor on timing and dimensions. One written scope before work begins — no mid-project surprises and no scheduling conflicts with other trades.

Here’s What Our Happy Homeowners Think About Crest Plumbing
Bathroom Plumbing FAQ — Cookeville, TN
What bathroom plumbing work does this page cover — and what has its own page?
This page covers shower and tub plumbing, bathroom sink and vanity plumbing, bathroom drain systems, hidden bathroom pipe leaks, and full bathroom remodel rough-in and finish work. Toilet repair and installation has its own dedicated page, as does bathroom and kitchen faucet repair. All are available through the plumbing services menu.
My shower drips when it's off — is that just a worn cartridge?
Usually yes — a dripping shower that continues when the handle is fully off is most commonly a worn cartridge or a failed valve seat. In most cases we can replace the cartridge on the same visit without opening the wall, as the cartridge is accessed through the valve trim. We carry common cartridges for Moen, Delta, Kohler, and American Standard on the truck. Call us and describe the shower brand and valve trim style — we can often confirm we have the right part before coming out.
There's water staining on the ceiling below my bathroom — where is the leak?
Water staining below a bathroom can come from several sources: a leaking shower drain, a failed p-trap, a supply line leak under the vanity, a leaking toilet wax ring, or a cracked drain body. We use acoustic detection to locate the source before opening any tile or drywall — which usually allows us to access the leak through the ceiling below rather than through the bathroom tile above.
When during a bathroom remodel should I call the plumber?
Before demo starts — ideally before you finalize the fixture selections. The earlier we are involved, the fewer mid-project surprises. We need to know the shower valve type, the fixture rough-in dimensions, and the new locations of any fixtures being moved before rough-in begins. Once tile is set, the rough-in cannot be adjusted without opening it back up. A call before demo is far less expensive than a correction after tile is up.
Can you add a bathroom to my Cookeville home?
Yes — adding a half bath, full bath, or basement bathroom requires new supply and drain rough-in, proper venting, and a drain connection to the main waste stack. This is a permitted job in Cookeville and most Putnam County jurisdictions. We handle the permit, rough-in, inspection, and finish plumbing. Call us early in the planning process — the plumbing rough-in location affects framing decisions and should be confirmed before the framing is complete.
How much does bathroom plumbing repair or installation cost in Cookeville?
Crest uses flat-rate pricing — you know the full cost before we start. Simple repairs like a shower cartridge replacement or a drain clog clearing run significantly less than larger jobs like a shower valve replacement or a full remodel rough-in. Call us at (931) 239-4345 and describe what you need — we can often give you a general range before coming out.
