When the Shower Just Won’t Work Right
If your shower handle no longer controls the temperature properly, the cartridge is likely worn out. The shower cartridge controls water flow and mix inside the valve behind your handle.
We provide fast, clean shower cartridge replacement across Meridian ID, removing the old cartridge and installing the correct match for your brand and setup.
Signs You Need a New Shower Cartridge
These problems are usually tied to a worn or failing cartridge:
- Sudden temperature swings
- Water won’t get hot or stay hot
- Low or uneven water pressure
- Grinding or squeaking when turning the handle
- Water dripping from the shower head
- Handle feels stuck or turns loosely
If any of these sound familiar, we’ll diagnose it, remove the old cartridge, and get your shower working again.
What’s Involved in a Shower Cartridge Replacement
We shut off your water, remove the trim and handle, and safely extract the old cartridge. Then we clean the valve body, install the correct new cartridge, and reassemble everything.
We also test for leaks, flush the lines, and check for proper water flow and balance.

Colebee from Running Water Plumbing installed a gas line and also fixed a broken exterior faucet at my home. He showed up right on time and worked quickly and efficiently.

Colebee and Brody were professional and awesome. He help me add a loop for the water softener in my basement and did the plumbing for my kitchen remodel. They will clean up the site really well and I am happy with the experience.

Shower Cartridge Replacement FAQs You Should Know
What does a shower cartridge do?
It controls the water flow and temperature inside the shower valve. If it wears out, you’ll notice issues with pressure or temperature.
Do I need a whole new valve?
Not usually. We can usually replace just the cartridge unless the valve body is damaged.
What if I don’t know the brand?
We’ll identify it for you based on the trim or handle. We stock common parts and can order rare ones.
How long does it take to replace a cartridge?
Most replacements take under an hour, unless access or corrosion makes removal more complex.
