Homeowner Help Center

Warranty varies by material and manufacturer. We'll explain exactly what's covered for your specific installation - in writing - before any work begins.
Will my project get your full attention?
Your job is our only focus until it's complete. We don't juggle multiple installations simultaneously - your bathroom gets our full crew's attention until done.
Can I see your licenses and insurance?
Absolutely, and we'll show you before starting. We carry County and State plumbing licenses, plus full general liability and workman's compensation coverage.
What are your work hours and payment terms?
We work 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM, Monday through Friday. Payment is 50% upfront and 50% on completion. No surprise charges - ever.
How much does shower or bathtub installation cost in Pittsburgh?
The cost depends on what you are replacing, the condition of the plumbing behind the wall, the type of tub or shower you choose, and whether the layout stays the same. A straightforward tub or shower replacement usually costs less than a custom shower, tile work, or moving drain and water lines. In Pittsburgh’s older homes, the smartest estimate is the one that looks past the surface. WJ McNabb Plumbing checks the existing plumbing, shutoffs, drain connection, and fixture layout before giving you a clear price, so you are not surprised halfway through the job.
How long does it take to replace a bathtub or shower?
Many shower and bathtub installations can be completed in 1–2 days when the plumbing is in good shape and the new fixture fits the existing space. More detailed projects can take longer if there is hidden water damage, old piping, tile removal, subfloor repair, or layout changes. WJ McNabb Plumbing plans the work around getting your bathroom back to normal quickly, while still allowing proper time for sealing, curing, and final plumbing checks.
Can I replace my bathtub with a walk-in shower?
Yes, many Pittsburgh homeowners replace an old bathtub with a walk-in shower, especially when they want easier access, a more open feel, or a bathroom that works better for daily use. The key is making sure the drain, water lines, shower valve, waterproofing, and floor pitch are handled correctly. WJ McNabb Plumbing can help you decide whether a tub-to-shower conversion makes sense for your bathroom, your home’s resale plans, and how your family uses the space.
Should I keep a bathtub in my house or switch to a shower?
If your home has more than one bathroom, converting one tub to a shower can be a great upgrade. If it is your only bathtub, it is worth thinking carefully before removing it. Families with young children, pet owners, and future buyers may still value having at least one tub in the home. WJ McNabb Plumbing helps homeowners choose the practical option, not just the trendy one, so the finished bathroom works for real life in a Pittsburgh home.
Can you install a new shower or tub without remodeling the whole bathroom?
Yes. In many cases, you can replace the shower, bathtub, valve, drain, and fixtures without doing a full bathroom remodel. That is a good option when the rest of the bathroom is still in good condition but the tub or shower is leaking, stained, outdated, cracked, or hard to use. WJ McNabb Plumbing can also coordinate related plumbing upgrades, such as sink, vanity, toilet, and faucet connections, if you decide to refresh more of the bathroom at the same time.
