Whether you’re replacing an outdated tub-shower combo with a walk-in shower, installing a new shower in a bathroom addition, or dealing with a shower that no longer drains or holds water properly — A Clear Choice Plumbing and Heating handles all shower plumbing in Englewood CO. From rough-in plumbing to valve installation, shower pan connections, and drain systems, we deliver clean work that sets the foundation for a great shower.
A shower installation project has two distinct phases: the plumbing work (our scope) and the finish work (tile, glass, fixtures). We handle everything on the plumbing side — supply line rough-in, valve body installation, shower pan drain connection, and all water supply and drain connections. We work in coordination with your tile contractor or bathroom remodeler to ensure the plumbing rough-in is positioned and timed correctly for the finish phase.
For Englewood homeowners converting a bathtub alcove to a walk-in shower, we also handle removing the existing tub drain and supply connections, reconfiguring the drain location if needed, and installing a linear or center drain appropriate for the new shower pan. We work on all shower types — prefabricated shower bases, custom tile shower pans, steam showers, and multi-head custom shower systems.
Installing a new shower — whether in a new bathroom addition or replacing an existing tub — requires plumbing rough-in: supply lines positioned at the correct height and spacing for the valve body, the valve body installed and secured, a drain rough-in at the correct location for the shower pan, and a vent connection for the drain. We handle all of this and provide a pressure-tested, inspection-ready rough-in for your tile contractor to work from.
Converting an existing bathtub alcove to a walk-in shower is one of the most popular bathroom upgrades in Englewood. We remove the tub, cap or relocate the existing drain, install a new drain at the correct position for the shower base or custom tile pan, adjust supply line height for the new valve position, and install a thermostatic or pressure-balancing shower valve with the outlet positions for your fixture configuration.
A shower valve that doesn’t hold temperature, is hard to operate, lacks anti-scald protection, or is leaking behind the wall needs replacement. We replace shower valves — including pressure-balancing valves, thermostatic valves, and diverter valves — with minimal tile disturbance when possible, using service access rather than demolition wherever the tile configuration allows.
A shower not draining in Englewood is usually a hair and soap scum clog near the drain — often cleared with a basic snake or zip tool. Persistent slow drainage after cleaning suggests a more substantial blockage further in the drain line, which we clear with professional augering or hydro-jetting. Drain leaks at the pan connection or P-trap require access from below and a proper seal replacement.
Luxury shower systems — rain heads, body sprays, steam generators, thermostatic multi-outlet valves — require more complex rough-in with larger supply lines, proper pressure balancing, and coordination of multiple valve bodies. We spec and install these systems correctly for the products you’ve chosen.

From rough-in to valve — clean, code-compliant shower plumbing on your timeline.
Every shower rough-in is pressure-tested and leak-verified before we sign off for the tile phase. Issues identified before tile installation are simple and cost-effective to fix, while repairs after tile work can become significantly more complex and expensive.
We provide shower installation and repair throughout Englewood:
We also serve Sheridan, Littleton, Greenwood Village, and the Denver University area.
Shower plumbing installation cost in Englewood depends on scope. A simple shower valve replacement typically runs $300–$600 in labor. A complete new shower rough-in — supply lines, valve body, and drain connection — for a tub-to-shower conversion typically runs $800–$1,800 in plumbing labor. Custom multi-head systems or projects requiring supply line rerouting or drain relocation are toward the higher end. Tile work, shower base, and fixtures are separate from the plumbing cost. We provide a complete plumbing quote before starting any work.
Clean the drain cover first — hair clogs are the most common cause. If still slow, the clog is deeper. Avoid chemical drain cleaners on older pipes. Call us for a professional drain clearing that removes the full blockage.
Yes. It usually means the wax ring has failed, allowing wastewater to seep into the subfloor, which can cause rot and expensive structural damage if not fixed quickly.
Most standard toilet replacements take 1–2 hours. Additional repairs (flange or subfloor) can extend the timeframe.
Simple valve or drain repairs usually no. New installations or tub-to-shower conversions involving new supply lines or drain relocation — typically yes. We assess permit requirements and manage the process if needed.
We recommend pressure-balancing valves as the minimum standard — these prevent scalding if someone flushes a toilet or runs the washing machine while you’re in the shower. For primary bathrooms or multi-head systems, thermostatic valves (which maintain a precise water temperature independently of flow changes) are worth the additional cost. We work with Moen, Delta, and Kohler primarily — all offer good long-term parts availability.
Valve replacement: 2–4 hours. Full rough-in: 4–8 hours. Complex projects with drain relocation or multi-head systems: 1–2 days. We schedule around your remodel so tile work can follow immediately after inspection.
Whether you’re installing a new shower as part of a bathroom remodel, converting a tub to a walk-in shower, or need a shower valve replaced — A Clear Choice provides the clean, coordinated shower plumbing Englewood homeowners and remodelers depend on.
