HOUSTON BATHTUB REPAIR & DRAIN CLEANING
If it seems to take a long time for your bathtub to drain (or if it’s not draining at all), you might need Houston bathtub drain repair.
From soap scum and dirt to dead skin cells and hair, there are a lot of things that attach to the walls of your drain lines and cause problems for your bathtub. Over time, they can build up and make the pipe narrower, which means water doesn’t go down the drain as easily. Eventually, you’re likely to experience a clog if you ignore slow-moving drains.

- Drain cleaning

Houston Bathtub Repair & Replacement – FAQs
Is a leaking bathtub considered a serious plumbing issue?
Yes. Bathtub leaks often cause hidden damage beneath flooring or behind walls, which can lead to rot, mold, and costly repairs. If you notice water stains, loose flooring, or peeling paint near the tub, it’s best to have it inspected right away.
How can I tell if the leak is coming from the bathtub or the plumbing behind the wall?
Leaks from the tub or drain often show up as water around the base or slow draining. Plumbing leaks behind the wall may appear as ceiling stains below the tub or persistent moisture even when the tub isn’t in use. A professional inspection is usually required to pinpoint the source.
Can a cracked or chipped bathtub be repaired, or does it need to be replaced?
Minor surface damage can sometimes be repaired, depending on the material and severity. Larger cracks, ongoing leaks, or structural issues often require replacement to prevent recurring problems and water damage.
Why is my bathtub draining slowly even after basic cleaning?
Slow drains are commonly caused by buildup from hair, soap residue, and debris inside the drain line. Over time, this narrows the pipe and restricts water flow. Professional drain cleaning can fully clear the blockage and restore proper drainage.
Is a dripping bathtub faucet wasting a lot of water?
Yes. Even a slow drip can waste a surprising amount of water over time and increase utility bills. Faucet leaks are often quick to repair and should be addressed early to avoid additional wear or damage.
Should I stop using my bathtub if I suspect a leak?
Yes. Continued use can worsen damage and increase repair costs. If the issue isn’t clearly related to splashback or surface water, it’s best to avoid using the tub until it’s inspected.
Do you offer emergency bathtub repair services in Houston?
Yes. Santhoff Plumbing provides 24/7 emergency plumbing services throughout Greater Houston, including urgent bathtub leak repairs and drain issues.
