What’s included
- Identify slip-fit or threaded connection type on existing spout
- Remove old tub spout without damaging the wall surround
- Install new tub spout with correct attachment method
- Apply caulk or escutcheon at the wall interface
- Test diverter function (to showerhead) if applicable
- Confirm no drip from spout when shower is engaged
How it works
Remove the old spout
We determine the connection type, then either loosen the setscrew on slip-fit models or unthread the spout directly from the pipe nipple.
Install the new spout
We thread the new spout on or slide it over the pipe stub and tighten the setscrew, ensuring the spout body sits flush against the wall.
Test and seal
We run the water, push the diverter up to direct flow to the showerhead, and confirm the spout stops dripping completely when the diverter is engaged.
Problems we fix
- Mineral-encrusted spouts that drip continuously because the diverter gate has corroded open
- Slip-fit spouts that have shifted and angle downward because the setscrew wasn't tight
- Gap at the wall where the old spout escutcheon covered the hole and the new one is a different size
- Threaded nipple so corroded the old spout won't come off without risk of pipe damage
Bathtub Spout Replacement in Charleston — FAQ
How do I know if I have a slip-fit or threaded spout?
Look on the underside of the spout near the wall. A small setscrew hole indicates slip-fit. No setscrew means threaded. We identify the type before starting and will let you know if you've purchased the wrong connection style.
Can you match the finish of my existing faucet handles?
Tub spouts come in chrome, brushed nickel, oil-rubbed bronze, and matte black to match most faucet trim. Purchasing the spout in the same finish as your handles gives the cleanest look.
What if the diverter still leaks after the new spout is in?
If the leak originates in the valve body rather than the spout diverter, a shower cartridge replacement addresses it. We'll diagnose exactly where the drip is coming from.
Bathtub Spout Replacement across Charleston
Charleston's humid subtropical climate, salt air and active storm season are tough on homes — swollen doors, rusting hardware, mildew-prone caulk and storm-loosened trim are all common. Downtown's historic houses add original plaster walls and tight, detailed millwork, while West Ashley and the islands bring newer builds with their own quirks. Our pros are comfortable with both.
