A Shower or Tub
That Actually Works.

A cracked tub, a shower that won’t drain, or a valve that’s stopped working properly — Budd’s licensed plumbers repair and install showers and bathtubs throughout Cape May and Atlantic County.

Shower & Bathtub Services

From a full new install to a single leaking valve, we handle showers and bathtubs as fixtures — not as a remodeling afterthought.

New Tub & Shower Installation

Replacing an old tub or shower with a new unit? We handle the plumbing connections, drain tie-in, and valve installation for a proper, leak-free install.

Valve & Faucet Replacement

A shower valve that’s hard to turn, drips constantly, or won’t hold temperature usually means a worn cartridge or valve body. We repair or replace it.

Drain Repair

Slow or clogged tub and shower drains get cleared or repaired, including the trap and connections beneath the fixture.

Bathtub-to-Walk-In-Shower Conversion

Converting an old tub to a walk-in shower for easier, safer access? We handle the plumbing side of the conversion.

Signs It’s Time for a Repair or Replacement

Not every shower or tub problem needs a full replacement — but some signs point to bigger issues.

  • Bathtub or shower pan is cracked, chipped, or leaking at the base

    A cracked pan or tub often means water is getting underneath, not just a cosmetic issue.

  • Shower valve is hard to turn, drips constantly, or won’t hold temperature

    Usually a worn cartridge or valve body — a straightforward repair in most cases.

  • Slow or clogged tub/shower drain that clearing doesn’t fix

    Can point to a problem in the trap or drain line, not just hair buildup.

  • Grout and caulk failures keep recurring around the tub or shower

    Ongoing water intrusion at the seams can damage the subfloor or wall structure over time.

  • Homeowner wants easier, safer access

    A tub-to-walk-in-shower conversion is worth considering for mobility or accessibility needs.

  • Tub or shower surround looks dated or worn

    Sometimes the fixture still works fine and a straightforward replacement is the better fit than a repair.

Bathtub-to-Walk-In-Shower Conversions

Converting an old tub to a walk-in shower is one of the most requested upgrades we get — usually for easier access, a lower step-in height, or simply modernizing a dated bathroom.

  • Easier, safer entry — no stepping over a tall tub wall
  • A more modern, updated look for the bathroom
  • Can free up floor space in smaller bathrooms
  • Often a better long-term fit for aging in place

What’s Involved

  • 1Removing the old tub and any surrounding tile or surround
  • 2Installing a new shower pan or base with proper drainage
  • 3Running or adjusting plumbing connections for the new valve and drain location
  • 4Installing a wall surround and door or curtain rod

Exact scope depends on your bathroom’s layout and existing plumbing — we’ll confirm the details during an in-home estimate.

Shower & Bathtub FAQ

Cost depends on the fixture type and scope of work — a repair, a straightforward replacement, or a full conversion are very different jobs. We offer a free estimate for installation and replacement work.
A licensed plumber handles the plumbing side of shower and bathtub work — valves, drains, and supply connections. Budd’s Master Plumber-licensed team handles installation, repair, and conversion work directly.
Yes. We handle the plumbing side of converting a bathtub to a walk-in shower, including the new pan, drain connection, and valve. Scope depends on your bathroom’s layout — we’ll walk you through it during an in-home estimate.
Bath Fitter and similar companies typically install an acrylic liner over your existing tub or shower. Budd’s approach is different — we do a full plumbing-grade installation or conversion, including proper drain and valve work, rather than a liner placed over what’s already there. If you’re weighing the two approaches, we’re happy to walk through the difference during a free estimate.
