Welcome to L&P Plumbing & Well Service: Watertown’s Trusted Shower & Tub Experts
There’s something uniquely frustrating about a leaking shower that just won’t quit or a bathtub drain that backs up during your morning routine. Here in Watertown, Connecticut, L&P Plumbing & Well Service has been solving these everyday bathroom headaches for over 25 years.
We’re not your typical plumbing company. When you call L&P, you’re not just getting a random technician—you’re getting Sean or Jerry, the actual owners, at your door. That’s right. One of us shows up to every single job, bringing decades of expertise directly to your bathroom issues.
Our reputation speaks volumes—with over 75 five-star Google reviews from our Litchfield County neighbors. We’ve built this trust the old-fashioned way: by treating every Watertown home like it’s our own and every customer like they’re our neighbor (because, well, you are).
Those leaking showers and troublesome tubs that disrupt your daily routine? That’s exactly what we’re here to fix. And we do it with a level of personal attention that the big plumbing outfits simply can’t match.
Why Prompt Shower & Tub Repairs Matter for Watertown Homes
Picture this: you notice a small leak where your shower meets the floor. It seems minor—just a few drops. But beneath that innocent-looking moisture, potential trouble is brewing.
In Watertown homes—especially our charming older properties throughout Litchfield County—those small bathroom issues can escalate quickly. That minor leak? It could be silently damaging your subfloor, creating the perfect environment for mold growth, or even compromising structural elements.
I’ve seen it firsthand. A homeowner on Main Street called us about a small leak in their shower. By the time we arrived, water had seeped into the ceiling below, creating a costly repair that could have been avoided with earlier intervention.
Our Connecticut seasons don’t help matters either. The freeze-thaw cycles our Watertown homes endure each winter can exacerbate existing weaknesses in your bathroom fixtures. That hairline crack in your tub? Winter’s temperature fluctuations might be the final straw that turns a simple fix into a full replacement job.
Beyond the structural concerns, there’s the daily inconvenience. A clogged tub drain, a shower that whistles with pressure issues, or outdated fixtures that waste water—these problems affect your comfort and potentially your utility bills.
At L&P Plumbing, we’ve learned that diagnosing the root cause, not just treating symptoms, is what sets apart a lasting repair from a temporary fix. That slow-draining tub might not be a simple clog but a sign of deeper plumbing issues that need addressing before they become emergency situations.
And let’s be honest—your bathroom should be a sanctuary, not a source of stress.
Our Comprehensive Shower & Tub Services for Watertown Residents
When it comes to keeping your bathroom functioning beautifully, we offer specialized services tailored to Watertown homes. Here’s how we can help:
Leaking Shower Repairs
Those persistent drips aren’t just annoying—they’re potentially destructive. We diagnose and fix shower leaks at their source, whether it’s deteriorated caulking, damaged grout between tiles, worn-out valve seals, or problems with the shower pan. Jerry recently helped a family in the Oakville section of Watertown whose “small leak” turned out to be a worn-out diverter valve that was allowing water to seep behind their walls—catching it early saved them thousands in potential repairs.
Comprehensive Tub Repair
From slow-draining tubs to surface damage, our tub repair services address a wide range of issues. We clear stubborn clogs, replace worn fixtures, repair chips or cracks in the surface, and resolve drainage problems. And we don’t just fix what’s broken—we recommend preventative measures to extend your tub’s lifespan.
Expert Shower Installation
Ready for an upgrade? We handle complete shower installations, from traditional setups to modern walk-in designs. We ensure proper waterproofing, perfect fitting of all components, and attention to details like correct slope for drainage. Sean takes particular pride in shower installation projects—his background in construction means your new shower isn’t just functional, it’s properly integrated with your home’s existing structure.
Professional Tub Installation
Whether you’re replacing an old tub or installing one in a newly renovated space, we manage the entire process. This includes removing old fixtures, preparing the space, ensuring proper plumbing connections, and securing the new tub for decades of use. We’re familiar with Watertown’s older homes and the unique challenges they present during tub installations.
Bathtub Replacement
Sometimes repair isn’t enough. When your tub is beyond saving, we offer full bathtub replacement services. We’ll help you select the right replacement that fits your space and meets your needs, then handle the removal and installation process with minimal disruption to your home.
What sets us apart is our attention to detail. In Litchfield County, where many homes have older plumbing systems or galvanized pipes that have seen better days, proper installation isn’t just about the fixture itself—it’s about understanding how it integrates with your home’s existing plumbing.
And since either Sean or Jerry is physically present on every job, you’re getting owner-level attention to every detail. That cracked tile that needs matching? The special-order part for your vintage fixture? We notice these things and address them because we’re there, in your home, doing the work ourselves.
Why Watertown Residents Choose L&P Plumbing & Well Service
There’s a reason we’ve been Watertown’s go-to plumbing service for over 25 years. Actually, there are several:
You get the owners, not just employees. When you schedule a tub repair or need help with a leaking shower, either Sean or Jerry will be there—guaranteed. This isn’t something we delegate. We believe your home deserves our direct attention.
I remember helping a family on Buckingham Street last year with what three other plumbers had called an “unfixable” shower leak. Because I personally handled the diagnosis, I noticed something the others missed—a tiny hairline crack in the valve body that was only visible when under pressure. That’s the kind of detail you might miss when you’re rushing between jobs or when you’re sending employees instead of going yourself.
We understand Watertown homes. After 25+ years working in Litchfield County, we’ve seen it all—from historic homes with plumbing that’s been modified half a dozen times to newer construction with its own unique challenges. This experience means we can anticipate issues before they become problems.
Our reputation is built on trust. Those 75+ five-star Google reviews? They come from your neighbors who’ve experienced the L&P difference. We’ve built our business not on flashy marketing but on word-of-mouth recommendations from satisfied customers.
We’re honest about what needs fixing. Sometimes a simple repair will do the trick. Other times, you might need more extensive work. Either way, we’ll give you the straight facts—no upselling, no unnecessary work. Just honest recommendations based on what’s best for your home.
We’re in it for the long haul. As a small, owner-operated business, we’re focused on building relationships, not just completing transactions. Many of our customers have been with us for years, calling us for all their plumbing needs because they know they can trust us to treat their home with respect.
