A shower that won’t hold temperature, scalds you when someone flushes a toilet elsewhere in the house, or barely produces any hot water. These problems usually point to a failing shower valve that needs to be replaced.
Stars and Pipes Plumbing Atlanta replaces shower valves, cartridges, and mixing assemblies for homeowners in Gwinnett County and across the Metro Atlanta area to restore safe, consistent water temperature.

Signs Your Shower Valve Needs Replacing
Temperature swings when other fixtures are used, difficulty getting the right mix of hot and cold water, a handle that’s hard to turn or doesn’t respond, and dripping from the showerhead after the water is turned off are all common indicators of a failing valve.
Older single-handle valves without pressure-balancing technology are especially prone to temperature fluctuations. If your shower valve is original to a home built in the 1980s or earlier, it likely lacks the anti-scald features found in modern valves.
What We Do
We remove the old valve assembly, install a new pressure-balancing or thermostatic valve that meets current plumbing codes, and test it under real conditions with other fixtures running to make sure the temperature stays consistent.
If the valve is behind tile, we access it with the smallest opening possible and coordinate with your tile installer for any finish work that’s needed afterward. We can also upgrade your trim kit and handle during the same visit if you want a refreshed look.

Stars and Pipes Plumbing Atlanta replaces shower valves for homeowners across Gwinnett County, including Lilburn, Sugar Hill, Buford, and Snellville.
We also serve Fulton County areas like Milton and Johns Creek, and DeKalb County communities including Chamblee and Stone Mountain.
