- Clear hair and debris from the drain opening
- Install new drain cover of matching size and connection type

How it works
Remove the old cover
We unscrew or pry out the old drain cover and clear any debris that has accumulated in the drain body below it.
Match and install the replacement
We seat the new drain cover, confirming it matches the drain body's thread size or snap-in groove, and secure it in place.
Test drainage
We run water to confirm it flows cleanly through the new cover without pooling around the edges.
Problems we fix
- Chrome drain covers that rust through in humid bathrooms over time
- Plastic snap-in covers that crack and leave sharp edges near bare feet
- Drains where the original cover size is no longer a standard dimension
- Screw-in covers where the center screw has corroded and strips on removal
Drain Cover Replacement in Columbia — FAQ
How do I find the right replacement drain cover?
Measure the outside diameter of the drain body opening. Most shower drains are 4 inches; tub strainers vary. We can measure during the visit if you're unsure.
Can you replace a corroded screw without replacing the whole drain body?
Often yes — we carry extractors for seized drain screws. If the drain body itself is corroded to the point of needing replacement, that's a more involved job we can scope separately.
Are there different finishes available?
Drain covers come in chrome, brushed nickel, oil-rubbed bronze, and matte black. Matching the cover finish to nearby hardware (faucet, towel bar) makes the bathroom look more intentional.
Drain Cover Replacement across Columbia
Columbia's long, hot, humid summers are hard on homes — HVAC strain, swollen doors, deck and fence wear, and moisture around windows and caulk are all common. Older in-town neighborhoods bring hardwood floors, plaster and original millwork, while the Northeast and the Lake Murray side add newer builds with their own needs. Our pros are comfortable with both.
