FAQs About Tub and Shower Relocation Services

1. Can a Tub or Shower Be Moved to a New Location?

Yes. Tubs and showers can be relocated as part of a remodel, but doing so requires rerouting water and drain lines. Our licensed plumbers handle this work safely, ensuring the new setup meets all plumbing codes and performs reliably.

2. Why Should a Professional Handle Tub or Shower Relocation?

Relocating these fixtures involves precise slope, venting, and water pressure management. A professional plumber ensures proper drainage, watertight connections, and long-term performance—preventing costly leaks or installation errors.

3. How Long Does Tub or Shower Relocation Take?

The timeline depends on the complexity of your remodel and how far the fixture is being moved. Most projects take one to several days to complete. We coordinate with your contractor to ensure work stays on schedule and minimizes disruptions.

4. Do You Offer Tub and Shower Relocation Services Outside Seattle?

We do. 5 Corners Plumbing serves homeowners across King and Snohomish counties, including Kirkland, Marysville, and nearby areas. Our team provides licensed, code-compliant plumbing services for all types of remodels, regardless of size.

5. Do freestanding tubs require a special faucet?

Not necessarily — but you do need the right one. The most common choice is a floor-mounted freestanding tub filler, which stands independently next to the tub with supply lines running through the floor. However, a wall-mounted faucet can also work with a freestanding tub, provided the spout is specifically designed for that application and is long enough to comfortably reach over the tub rim. A standard wall faucet with a short spout will not reach. When in doubt, confirm the spout reach with your plumber before purchasing.

6. Why is my tub filler wobbly after installation?

Wobble almost always comes from one of two causes: an undersized or cheaply constructed base that cannot support the leverage of a tall floor-mounted faucet, or improper anchoring during installation. Budget filler bases — especially those from low-cost online retailers — are often too thin and light to remain stable over time. If your filler moves when you touch it, address it immediately. Continued movement stresses the floor connection and can allow water intrusion.

7. Is a thermostatic mixing valve required by code?

Yes — in Washington State, the Uniform Plumbing Code (UPC) requires temperature-limiting devices on bathtub fill valves, with a maximum delivery temperature of 120°F. This is not optional. Your plumbing inspector will verify compliance, and a missing or uncalibrated mixing valve will fail inspection. If you’re outside Washington, check with your local building department, as requirements vary by jurisdiction.
