Happy Tubs Bathtub Repair works out of Salem and is hired for the thing inside a tub or shower that has stopped working — a seized jet motor, a solenoid valve that quit, a crack in the bottom of a tub, a shower base that arrived from the factory chipped. A 2021 reviewer put it plainly, describing the relief of finding "Happy Tubs in Salem, MA" after a jetted tub worked erratically and then quit outright; the technician diagnosed it and replaced the pump and switch that same afternoon rather than booking it a month out. The written record runs from 2015 to 2025 and keeps naming the same people. Arnold and Dan turn up on the tools, Brian handles scheduling, and Miguel appears in a 2019 account. The pattern repeats across the decade: the job is quoted, an arrival window is texted, and the repair finishes in one visit. In a 2022 review a Kohler shower base had a two-inch chip in the front and the appointment came within two days; the customer wrote the finished base looked perfect. A separate 2022 review reached the company through Kohler's own customer service, which referred the homeowner directly — the company's site describes it as an authorized service representative for manufacturer warranty repairs, and that referral is the one third-party account of it in practice. Twice the work was a repair of someone else's repair. In a 2019 review, another company had painted a sloppy layer over a cracked tub bottom that started chipping again; the technician ground the area down and redid it. In a 2017 review, a farm-style kitchen sink had been botched by a previous glazer. Google shows 4.7 stars from 12 ratings, and all ten written accounts on file are Google reviews — a narrow, unbroken record rather than a deep one, spread thin across ten years. For a tub or shower fixture that is cracked, chipped, leaking or mechanically dead, this is the kind of specialist that call goes to; confirm current pricing and what the authorized-warranty status actually covers for your fixture before booking.
Arnold was awesome! Very knowledgeable and great customer service skills.
Happy Tubs! Happy Customer! Arnold from Happy Tubs did a terrific job replacing our tubs seized motor, in tight quarters. He was professional and personable. I would recommend this service to anyone in need of repair.
Our Kohler shower base arrived damaged with a 2" chip in the front. Brian scheduled an appointment within two days of me contacting him. Arnold was prompt, professional and courteous. Most importantly, the shower base looks perfect. We couldn't be happier!
Arnold from Happy Tubs just fixed my whirlpool tub - excellent service. On time and timely with the repair. Highly recommended.
We needed one of our Kohler DVT solenoid valves replaced on our shower so I contacted Happy Tubs based on a referral from Kohler customer service. Brian from Happy Tubs immediately texted me on the next business morning with all the pertinent repair details and then he scheduled the appointment for us. Arnold was assigned to our repair and he conveniently texted me to provide his eta just before he arrived and he was right on time! When he arrived he was super polite, totally professional, very knowledgeable and so friendly. He replaced the solenoid in short order and we were thrilled at how fast it all happened. THANK YOU HAPPY TUBS! Brian was great at scheduling and Arnold was great at repairing. We highly recommend Happy Tubs for any of your Kohler repairs. Awesome!!!
