Shower & Tub Installation in Anthem, AZ

Two decades of water running 16 to 20 grains hard have left their mark on Anthem's original bathrooms. We are based here, and most of the tubs and shower valves we replace in Country Club and Parkside went in between 1999 and 2005.

Anthem homeowners call Liberty for shower & tub installation because we're local to the Valley, licensed, and answer the phone 24/7. Anthem is our home base, so we know it cold. It's a master-planned community built largely from 1999 on, split between Country Club and Parkside. The homes are newer, sure, but two decades of 16 to 20 gpg hard water has already started scaling the water heaters and fixtures in the original builds. We'll show you the real problem and your options, then fix it right the first time. Fair pricing, no surprises.

Anthem is Liberty Plumbing's home turf, and it shows in what we service here. The community broke ground in 1999 as a Del Webb master-planned development, which means the original-build homes in Country Club, Parkside, and the Anthem Hills areas are now 25+ years old. That puts the factory-installed 40- and 50-gallon water heaters well past their 10-12 year design life, and we replace failed original units almost weekly. Anthem runs on hardness routinely in the 16-20 grain range, which scales the tank bottom, clogs the cold inlet, and shortens heater life on top of age.

What we see on Anthem plumbing

  • Original 1999–2005 water heaters now well past their hard-water lifespan

How a Anthem 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 Anthem, 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.
How fast can Liberty get to my Anthem home?
Anthem is our home base, so we're usually the fastest option in the community. For routine work we typically reach Country Club, Parkside, and Anthem Hills addresses same-day, and we put emergencies like slab leaks and burst water heaters first, because we're not driving up I-17 from the valley to get to you.
My Anthem home is original-build from 2000 and the water heater still works. Should I worry?
Yes. The original Del Webb-era heaters are now well past their 10-12 year life, and Anthem's 16-20 grain hard water speeds up tank failure with scale buildup. A unit that still runs can fail all at once and flood a slab-on-grade home. We recommend replacing it proactively, before it lets go on its own.
