Why Campbell Homeowners Choose Our Team

When you invite plumbers into your home, you want more than technical skill. You want people you can trust. Cupertino Plumbing was founded in Campbell in 1965 by master plumber Bill Cardia, and today the company is led by his son, Frank, who completed formal plumbing training at WyoTech Trade School. This continuity across three generations means the values the company started with, fairness, quality, and honest pricing, still guide how we handle every shower project.

Our team includes 16 licensed and insured plumbers who stay current with California plumbing codes and best practices. That is important for shower installation, since work behind the walls must meet specific requirements for water supply, drainage, and safety. Whether your home is a newer build or an older house that has seen several renovations, we have worked on similar systems across the San Francisco Bay Area and bring that experience to your job.

Many homeowners are wary of vague estimates and surprise charges. Our pricing model is straightforward. We provide free estimates, then bill only for the time we actually work and the parts we use. There are no hidden fees added at the end. Our A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau, maintained since our accreditation in 1991, reflects this commitment to transparent, ethical service.

Because we are based in Campbell and keep our service vehicles well stocked, we can respond promptly when you need us. That can make a real difference if your existing shower is failing and you cannot wait weeks for basic plumbing work. When you call, you are reaching a local team that views you as a neighbor, not a job number.

Choosing the Right Fit: Modern Shower Options for Your Home

When we sit down to plan a shower installation in Campbell, the first question is usually about the style of the shower itself. It’s not just about looks; it’s about how the shower fits your lifestyle and the physical footprint of your bathroom. At Cupertino Plumbing, we’ve installed thousands of these over the last 50+ years, and we’ve seen which ones stand the test of time.

Here is a breakdown of the most popular options we provide:

🔸Walk-In Showers: This is currently the most requested shower installation Campbell homeowners ask for. These are doorless or have a simple glass partition, offering a spacious, modern feel. They are incredibly easy to clean and provide a "spa-like" atmosphere. From a plumbing standpoint, they require precise floor pitching to ensure every drop of water finds the drain without a curb to stop it.

🔸Corner Shower Stalls: If you are working with a smaller bathroom, a corner stall is a fantastic, space-saving solution. These usually feature a neo-angle or rounded front. We focus on ensuring the base is perfectly leveled during the shower installation, as these smaller footprints are prone to leaks if the weight isn't distributed correctly on the subfloor.

🔸Tub-to-Shower Conversions: Many people are choosing to remove old, high-walled bathtubs and replace them with a dedicated shower. This is a smart move for accessibility and makes the bathroom feel twice as large. During this type of shower installation, we often update the old 1.5-inch tub drain to a 2-inch shower drain to handle the higher volume of water from modern showerheads.

🔸Steam Showers: For the ultimate luxury, a steam shower involves a vapor-tight enclosure and a steam generator. This requires specialized plumbing and electrical work. We love doing these because they add incredible value to a home, but they must be installed with absolute precision to manage the moisture levels and prevent any damage to your walls.

 

🔸Barrier-Free / Curbless Showers: Perfect for "aging in place" or for those with mobility concerns, these showers have no lip or edge to step over. We carefully recess the floor so the shower floor is flush with the bathroom floor. This is a technical shower installation that requires a deep understanding of local Campbell building codes and advanced waterproofing techniques.

Your perfect shower is just a phone call away at (408) 716-3448, or you can easily contact us online.

Our Shower Installation Process in Campbell  Properties

Initial Visit & Free Estimate

  • Knowing what to expect can make any plumbing project feel less stressful. When you reach out to us about a new shower, we start with a conversation about your goals, your current bathroom layout, and any problems you are having with the existing setup. We then schedule a convenient time for a licensed plumber to visit your home, evaluate the space, and provide a free estimate.

During the visit, we look at the visible fixtures and also assess the plumbing behind and below the shower area as much as access allows. In some situations, we use high-tech waterproof cameras to inspect drains or piping without unnecessary demolition. This helps us identify potential issues early, such as corroded pipes or partial blockages, so there are fewer surprises once work begins.

Removal, Rough-In & Installation

  • Once you approve the plan, we coordinate the installation schedule with you and, if needed, with any contractor who is handling tile or other aspects of a larger remodel. On installation day, our plumbers protect nearby floors and surfaces, shut off water as needed, and carefully remove the existing shower components that are being replaced. We then carry out any required rough-in work, such as updating supply lines or adjusting the drain position, so the new shower will operate correctly and meet current standards.

After the rough plumbing is complete, we install and connect the new shower base or pan, valves, and piping to your chosen fixtures. We test for leaks at each stage and confirm proper drainage before closing up walls or surrounds. When tile or enclosures are in place, we perform final checks on water temperature, pressure, and controls. At the end of the job, we clean the work area and walk through the new shower with you, answering any questions about operation or care.

Because we are based in Campbell, we can often schedule projects promptly, particularly when there is an urgent need to restore a working shower. Throughout the process, our team keeps you informed about progress and any findings that could affect scope or timing, so you are not left wondering what is happening in your bathroom.

Beyond the Basics: Fixtures and Finishing Touches

A great shower installation is only as good as the components inside it. While the main shower installation Campbell residents ask for usually focuses on the basin or the walls, the internal fixtures are what define your experience. We work closely with you to select and install high-quality showerheads, thermostatic mixing valves, and pressure-balancing hardware that stand the test of time. We’ve seen many homeowners buy beautiful-looking fixtures online only to find they aren't compatible with their existing pipe diameter or water pressure. That’s where our expertise comes in. We bridge the gap between aesthetic design and mechanical reality, ensuring that your shower installation in Campbell delivers the exact water flow and temperature control you expect.

To ensure your bathroom stays functional for the long haul, we often recommend focusing on these key elements during your upgrade:

  • High-Efficiency Showerheads: To help manage water usage without sacrificing that satisfying pressure you need in the morning.
  • Anti-Scald Valves: A safety essential, especially for families with children or seniors, ensuring the water temperature stays consistent even if someone else turns on a tap.
  • Customized Drainage Solutions: Proper pitch and high-capacity drains to ensure you never have to deal with standing water around your ankles.
  • Durable Finishes: Selecting materials that resist the mineral buildup often found in local water supplies, keeping your fixtures looking new for years.
