A newly installed tub or shower needs only light routine maintenance — regular cleaning with non-abrasive products, occasional caulk inspection, and an annual look at the supply and drain connections. Quality fixtures rarely need professional service in the first 5–10 years if the install was done right.
What to do regularly
- Clean weekly with non-abrasive cleaner (avoid bleach on acrylic)
- Inspect caulk lines once a year; re-caulk if cracked or pulled away
- Run a brush through hair-catchers monthly
- Check supply and shutoff valves annually for slow leaks
- Have a plumber inspect every 3–5 years
If you ever notice a leak, slow drain, or pressure drop, give us a call. Schedule routine bathroom work through bathroom plumbing or plumbing inspections, and we offer leak detection if something seems off.
