Emergency Bathtub and Shower Repair Services in Gatineau: Fast Solutions 24/7
When your bathtub or shower develops a serious problem, it can render your bathroom unusable. A shower that won't turn off, a tub that won't drain, water leaking through the ceiling below—these situations demand immediate attention. Plombier Gatineau provides emergency bathtub and shower repair services throughout Gatineau, responding quickly to restore your bathroom to working order.
Emergency Shower and Tub Situations
Water Won't Shut Off
A shower valve that won't close completely is more than annoying—it wastes water continuously and can run up significant bills quickly. If you can't stop the flow, we respond to diagnose and repair or replace the valve.
No Water at All
The opposite problem—turning on the shower and getting nothing. This could indicate a frozen pipe (in winter), a closed shutoff valve, a failed valve cartridge, or supply line problems. We diagnose the cause and restore water flow.
Severe Leaks
Water appearing on the ceiling below a bathroom, pooling behind walls, or visible pipe leaks in the shower area require immediate attention. Water damage worsens quickly; fast repair limits the damage.
Complete Drain Blockage
When a tub or shower won't drain at all and water backs up, you can't use the fixture. Emergency drain cleaning clears the blockage and restores function.
Sewage Backup
If sewage backs up through your tub or shower drain—a sign of serious main line problems—don't use any plumbing. Call immediately for emergency service.
Extreme Temperature Problems
A shower producing scalding hot water or only cold water may have a failed valve that poses safety risks. We can repair or replace problematic valves to restore safe, comfortable operation.
Common Bathtub and Shower Problems
Drain Issues
Bathtub drain repair addresses slow draining, complete clogs, leaking drain assemblies, and stopper problems. Hair and soap buildup cause most drain slowdowns, but more serious issues can develop in the trap or drain line.
Faucet and Valve Problems
Dripping faucets, hard-to-turn handles, temperature control issues, and diverter problems all affect shower and tub use. Many issues can be resolved with cartridge or component replacement; severely worn valves may need complete replacement.
Showerhead Issues
Clogged, leaking, or poorly performing showerheads are usually easy fixes—cleaning mineral buildup or replacing the head entirely.
Caulk and Seal Failures
Failed caulking around tubs and showers allows water infiltration that damages walls, floors, and framing. While not a plumbing repair per se, we can advise on water damage and recommend appropriate remediation.
Our Emergency Response
When you call our emergency line, we dispatch a technician promptly. We arrive with equipment to diagnose and repair most common problems, explain what we find and provide pricing before beginning work, complete repairs efficiently to restore your bathroom, and clean up the work area.

Regular maintenance catches developing problems before they become emergencies. Annual inspection of shower valves, drain condition, and visible connections helps prevent unexpected failures.
