ProfessionalDrain Cover Replacement

A rusted, broken, or missing drain grate in a shower or tub isn't just ugly — it can let debris into the trap and become a stubbing hazard. We replace shower drain covers, tub strainers, and floor drain grates with the right size and style so they sit flat, drain freely, and look clean.

How it works

1

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.

2

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.

3

Test drainage

We run water to confirm it flows cleanly through the new cover without pooling around the edges.

We can help

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

Good to know

Drain Cover Replacement — 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.
