Showers
The shower is one of the most frequently used plumbing fixtures in any home and one of the most complex. A modern shower involves a pressure-balancing or thermostatic valve, a diverter if it shares a tub, a drain assembly, a supply connection, and all the trim and hardware the homeowner sees on the surface. When something goes wrong -- a drip from the showerhead, a valve that cannot hold temperature, a drain that is backing up, or a shower that needs to be fully replaced -- the plumbing work behind the wall requires experience and the right parts.
Benjamin Franklin Plumbing of Wichita handles all shower plumbing for homeowners throughout Sedgwick County. Our licensed plumbers repair shower valves and trim, clear shower drains, replace showerheads, and install new showers for remodels and additions. Every job comes with upfront pricing and our punctuality guarantee.

Most shower problems come down to a worn valve cartridge, a failing diverter, a clogged drain, or a showerhead that has accumulated mineral deposits from Wichita's moderately hard water. Our plumbers diagnose the problem accurately and repair it with the correct parts for the specific valve brand and model.
Common shower repairs we handle in Wichita:
Installing a new shower requires proper supply rough-in, a correctly sloped drain connection, a valve installed to code and accessible for future service, and waterproofing of the shower pan and walls. Done correctly, a new shower provides years of problem-free use. Done incorrectly, the result is leaks that find their way into the floor structure and cause water damage that is far more expensive to fix than the original installation.
Our Wichita plumbers handle the complete plumbing rough-in and finish installation for new showers, whether you are adding a shower to a bathroom that previously had only a tub, converting a tub/shower combination to a walk-in shower, or finishing a basement or addition bathroom from scratch.

Shower drains clog gradually from hair, soap scum, and the mineral deposits that Wichita's moderately hard water leaves on drain surfaces over time. A slow shower drain is not just inconvenient -- standing water in a shower puts extra stress on the drain assembly and can eventually cause a seal failure at the drain pan. Our plumbers clear shower drains with mechanical augering and leave the drain fully functional.
Wichita's water supply is moderately hard. The calcium and magnesium minerals it carries accumulate on showerheads over time, restricting flow and eventually clogging the spray nozzles. They also build up on shower valve cartridges, causing handles to stiffen and temperature control to become erratic. A showerhead soaked in white vinegar for an hour will dissolve most surface deposits. If the problem is in the valve itself, a cartridge replacement resolves it. For persistent hard water issues throughout the home, a whole-home water softener significantly reduces mineral accumulation on all fixtures.

A showerhead that drips after the valve is turned off has a worn cartridge inside the shower valve body. The cartridge is the internal component that controls water flow. When it wears out, it no longer seats fully closed and water continues to drip through. Replacing the cartridge restores a full shutoff. Our plumbers carry cartridges for most major shower valve brands.
Unpredictable temperature during a shower is almost always a worn or failed pressure-balancing cartridge. The pressure-balancing cartridge compensates for changes in hot and cold supply pressure -- like when someone flushes a toilet -- to keep the outlet temperature consistent. When it fails, it can no longer compensate and temperature swings noticeably. Cartridge replacement restores stable temperature.
Yes. Tub-to-shower conversions are a common project for our Wichita plumbers. The work involves capping the tub drain and repositioning or extending the drain to the correct location for the new shower floor, adjusting the supply rough-in if the valve location changes, and installing a new shower valve and trim. The scope and cost depend on the existing rough-in configuration and the size of the new shower.
A cartridge replacement is a quick service call. A full shower installation or tub conversion is a larger project depending on the scope. We always provide a complete upfront price before any work begins. Call (316) 768-8374 for a same-day estimate.
