Desert Hills homeowners call Liberty for shower & tub installation because we're local to the Valley, licensed, and answer the phone 24/7. Desert Hills shares Anthem's 85086 ZIP, but it's a whole different world. Acre-plus lots, well water, septic. We treat it as part of our home territory and we come equipped for it, with the well-water gear and the septic-aware practices these big desert properties need. You'll get the truth about what's wrong, your options laid out plain, and a fair price upfront. We fix it right the first time.

Desert Hills shares the 85086 ZIP with Anthem but lives a completely different plumbing life: acre-plus lots, private wells, and septic systems instead of city utilities. The defining challenge here is distance, the well, the pressure tank, and the house can sit far apart, with long underground supply runs that lose pressure and are harder to diagnose than anything on a compact city lot. When pressure drops in a Desert Hills home, the cause might be the pump, the pressure tank, a failing switch, or a leak somewhere along a hundred-plus feet of buried line, and finding it takes someone who actually works on rural well systems rather than guessing. We troubleshoot the full chain from wellhead to fixture.

How a Desert Hills shower & tub installation call goes

  1. Plan & Rough-In

    We confirm the layout, drain location, and valve position, then handle the rough plumbing, moving or resizing the drain and supply lines so the new shower or tub fits your design and drains correctly.

  2. Set Valve & Coordinate Waterproofing

    We install a quality pressure-balancing or thermostatic valve and ensure the drain and pan connections are leak-tested before tile, pan, or surround goes in.

  3. Final Set & Test

    After the surround is finished we set the trim, fixtures, and glass-ready hardware, then run hot and cold checks to confirm temperature control, drainage, and a watertight finish.

Shower & Tub Installation in Desert Hills, FAQ

Can you convert my tub to a walk-in shower?
Yes, this is one of our most-requested jobs, especially in Sun City and Surprise. We relocate and resize the drain, install a new shower valve, and set up the space for a low-threshold or curbless pan, then coordinate the watertight finish.
What kind of shower valve should I get?
For most homes, a pressure-balancing valve keeps you from getting scalded when water gets drawn elsewhere. If you want a fixed exact temperature and multiple outlets like a rain head and a handheld, a thermostatic valve is worth the upgrade.
Do you make showers accessible for seniors?
Absolutely. We build curbless and low-threshold showers, add in-wall blocking so grab bars anchor into solid framing, and can plumb for handheld wands and bench-height controls for safe aging in place.
Will converting a tub to a shower hurt my resale value?
In a 55-plus community, a well-built walk-in shower is often a selling point. The common advice is to keep at least one tub in the home if you've got multiple bathrooms. We'll talk through which makes sense to convert.
How long does the plumbing for a conversion take?
Our plumbing rough-in, including the drain relocation and the new valve, is typically one to two days. The whole project runs longer because waterproofing, tile, and glass are separate trades.
Can I add a rain head and a handheld at the same time?
Yes. We plan the valve and supply lines during rough-in to feed multiple outlets. A thermostatic valve with a diverter lets you run a rain head, a wall head, and a handheld on their own or together.
Why does my Desert Hills home keep losing pressure?
On these acre-plus well properties it could be the pump, the pressure tank, the switch, or a leak somewhere along a long buried supply run. We troubleshoot the whole chain from wellhead to fixture instead of guessing, because the cause is rarely obvious on a property this spread out.
My pump keeps clicking on and off rapidly, is that bad?
Yes, that short-cycling usually means a waterlogged pressure tank or a failed bladder, and it wears the pump out fast while your pressure surges and sags. We replace and size pressure tanks for long-run Desert Hills properties so the system runs smooth and the pump lasts.
