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.

1. We Listen

We ask what the shower is doing and whether the issue involves pressure, temperature, drainage, or a visible leak.

2. We Inspect

We inspect the showerhead, handle, valve cartridge, and valve body through the available access point.

3. We Quote

We explain the problem, confirm the correct parts, and give you a clear quote before beginning the repair.

4. We Repair

We repair or replace the worn valve, cartridge, showerhead, or other component causing the problem.

5. We Test

We test the full temperature and pressure range and check every connection for leaks before leaving.

Our main water line that goes from the street to our home burst and was flooding the yard and pooling against the house. Within about 1.5 hours of calling Gold Star Plumbing they were able to have someone on site to deal with it. Mo knew exactly what to do and was able to resolve the problem, replace the pipe and get our water running again the same day. This was a big job that took the whole day so I was impressed by how quickly they were able to respond.
Response from the owner:Thanks for the great review! We’re glad we could respond quickly and get your water main line repair completed the same day. The trenchless repair worked like a charm!

Moe and Ethan from Goldstar did an amazing job for us. We had a major plumbing emergency right before we were having guests over, and Moe went above and beyond to make sure everything was finished in time so we wouldn't have any issues. Moe unclogged our bath tubs, replaced our boiler/hot water tank, and also swapped out our bathroom faucets, shut-off valves, and shower cartridges. He was extremely reliable, walked us through the limitations, and always checked in with us before moving forward with any work. When we still had a small heating hiccup after the initial install, Moe sent Ethan right over. Ethan tested everything thoroughly and replaced a faulty part under warranty with zero extra charges. Thanks to both of them, we had zero hot water interruptions and our guests had a wonderful stay. Highly professional team — 5 stars all around!
Response from the owner:Geraldo it was a pleasure serving your household! From beginning to end we at gold star plumbing and heating take pride in our Troubleshooting, repair and installation of hot water heaters. We’re glad we would explain everything step by step for you and work hard to resolve all issues. Thanks for the great review!

My main water line was leaking, and I initially hired another plumbing company to begin the repair. As the work progressed, I became increasingly concerned about some of their recommendations and felt that I might be paying for additional repairs that were not actually necessary. That’s when I called Mo at Goldstar Plumbing. Even though it was late in the evening, Mo came to my home with his tools and camera equipment and took the time to thoroughly inspect the problem. He carefully explained what he found and gave me the reassurance I needed to make an informed decision. I found Mo to be knowledgeable, honest, and trustworthy. I really appreciated that he took the time to properly assess the situation rather than simply recommending more work. I would definitely recommend Mo and Goldstar Plumbing to anyone looking for a reliable and honest plumber.
Response from the owner:Hi Chris, thank you for the kind review! We’re glad we could help out with your broken water main line leak and provide our expertise. We take pride in thorough plumbing repairs and inspections. We truly appreciate your trust and recommendation

Gold star plumbing completely saved my basement during the recent thunderstorms in Vancouver. My basement started flooding due to all the rain and Gold Star was able to come to my house at 2am and found that my sump pump stopped working. They replaced it and got rid of all the excess water super quick. I tried calling a couple other plumbers but none were able to make it as fast as these guys were. I Highly recommend their services!!
Response from the owner:Happy to say we got there in time before there was too much damage! Goodluck to you Mr.Kwan and thank you for the review means a lot to work in the Killarney area

Frequently Asked Questions

This can be caused by a clogged showerhead, a worn valve, or a problem elsewhere in your plumbing system. We test each possibility to find the real cause.

This usually points to a worn mixing valve, which can often be repaired or replaced fairly quickly.

Yes, we install new showerheads, valves, and full shower systems as part of renovations or upgrades.

It depends on how long it has been leaking. A slow valve leak can cause mould and wood rot behind the wall without any visible sign on the tile surface. We check for moisture damage when we open the wall and let you know what we find.

Yes. A thermostatic valve holds a set temperature regardless of pressure changes elsewhere in the house, which is especially useful in homes where the shower runs cold when someone flushes a toilet. We install these throughout Greater Vancouver.
