What to know about Bathtub plumbing
Bathtub plumbing covers the water in and the water out: the tub filler or faucet and its valve, the spout and any shower diverter above it, and the drain-waste-overflow assembly that empties the tub and keeps it from spilling over. The work includes replacing a leaking spout or a worn drain, swapping an old tub for a new one, installing a freestanding tub in the middle of the room, or converting a tub to a shower.

How to choose plumbers in Kelowna
- Hire a plumber who is licensed for this work in your province, especially for gas water heaters, sewer lines and new plumbing.
- Ask whether they charge a flat rate or by the hour, and what the call-out fee covers.
- For leaks and drain problems, choose someone who explains the cause and doesn't only clear the symptom.
- Get the scope in writing for larger jobs such as a water heater, sewer repair or re-piping.
- If it's urgent, ask how soon they can arrive and whether after-hours rates apply.

Bathtub plumbing permits in British Columbia
Some bathtub plumbing work needs a permit or has to meet local bylaws. Rules vary by municipality, so ask your pro whether a permit is needed and who will apply for it — and check with your city or town if you’re unsure.

Do I have to hire someone?
No. Requesting quotes doesn’t commit you to anything. Compare your options and hire only if someone is the right fit.
