Shower Repair in Greater Vancouver
A shower that leaks, drips, or will not hold a steady temperature can waste water and become a bigger problem if it is not fixed. Gold Star Plumbing and Heating repairs showers for homes and businesses across Metro Vancouver, including Burnaby, Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam, Port Moody, and the North Shore.
From leaking valves and low water pressure to unstable temperatures and complete shower upgrades, our licensed plumbers diagnose the real cause and complete dependable shower repairs throughout Greater Vancouver.
Leaking Shower Valves

A leaking valve inside the wall can waste a large amount of water and sometimes cause hidden damage before you notice it. We locate the source of the leak and repair or replace the valve so your shower works properly again.
Low Water Pressure
Low pressure in the shower can be caused by a clogged showerhead, a worn valve, or a problem further back in your plumbing system. We check each possible cause to find out exactly why your pressure has dropped.
Temperature Problems
If your shower runs too hot, too cold, or will not stay at a steady temperature, the mixing valve may be worn or need adjustment. This is also a common safety issue in homes with children or older adults, and we can fix it properly.
Shower Installation and Upgrades

If you are replacing an old shower or upgrading to a new showerhead, valve, or walk in design, we handle the plumbing work needed to get it installed correctly and leak free.
Signs Your Shower Needs a Plumber
Some shower problems are easy to notice and others hide inside the wall until the damage is done. Watch for a showerhead that drips after you turn it off, water pressure that has dropped noticeably, a temperature that keeps shifting even when you have not touched the control, a valve handle that turns more than it used to or feels loose, a damp patch on the wall next to or behind the shower, or a mouldy smell coming from the wall even after cleaning the tiles. A leaking valve inside the wall can cause significant damage before it becomes visible.
Drips and Pressure Changes
A showerhead that drips after shutoff or a noticeable drop in pressure can point to a worn valve, clogged head, or supply issue.
Unstable Temperature or Loose Controls
Temperature that shifts without warning or a handle that feels loose can indicate a failing cartridge or mixing valve.
Hidden Moisture or Mouldy Odours
A damp patch near the shower or a mouldy smell from behind the wall can be a sign of a concealed valve leak.
Our Shower Repair Process
We start by asking what the shower is doing and whether the problem is with the valve, the head, the drain, or the temperature control. Next we inspect the showerhead, handle, and valve cartridge and, where needed, open the access panel or a small section of wall to examine the valve body itself. We give you a quote before doing any repair and confirm the valve brand so we can source the right cartridge or parts. Once the repair is done, we run the shower through its full range of temperatures and pressures and check for leaks at every connection before we leave.
