Free to homeowners in Newport — the contractor pays us for the introduction, you never do.

The short answer

In Newport, 64% of homes predate 1990. A dripping shower is usually the cartridge; one that swings in temperature when another tap runs is usually the valve body, which sits behind the wall.

64% of Newport housing was built before 1990. A valve that drips and a valve that cannot hold a temperature are two different faults with two different answers.

What this site is

ShowerValve is a referral service, not a contractor. We connect homeowners with independent contractors. Contractors are required to hold whatever credential their state or municipality demands, and valve work opening a wall is often a permitted alteration — ask to see the permit. We carry out no work, we sell no valves, we do not set prices, and we never charge homeowners anything — the contractors in our network pay us when we route them a call. The maximum water temperature is set by your local code, not by this website.

Shower Valve Replacement coverage in Newport, KY

Newport is in Campbell County, Kentucky. It covers 4 ZIP codes: 41071, 41072, 41076, 41099. We route shower valve replacement calls from every one of them.

Access is the cost

Replacing a valve body usually means opening the wall behind it, or working from the other side. Ask which, and who makes it good, before the work starts.

What points to the body rather than the trim

Water appearing inside the wall, in a ceiling below, or a handle that turns without changing anything, all point past the trim. None of them are fixed by a new escutcheon.
