In our main bathroom there is no shower. We would like to add a shower and hope that you know tile contractors to do tile work as well.

I am currently not getting any hot water coming to my shower. I have a tankless water heater and thought maybe the coils were out. Replaced one but nothing changed. I would like to have someone come out and find out what the problem is and give me an estimate on what needs to be done and the cost.

Plumbing Pipe Leak
Plumbing leaks are one of the most common home plumbing problems you'll find. These can range from simple pipe joint leaks that don't cause much damage, to major leaks that can ultimately end in a burst pipe or flooding. To fix a leak, the first thing you have to do is find out what kind of a leak it is. A leak in a pipe is very often the result of a corroded pipe. In such cases, it's best to replace the section all together instead of merely using a patch to stop the leak. In the case of a leaky joint, just tightening the joint will suffice.
Other quick ways to fix a leaky pipe include using a readymade pipe patch that's available in your neighborhood hardware store. You can also use water proof tape to wrap around the leaky spot, or apply epoxy paste on the hole. These however, are all stop gap solutions that offer only temporary measures to fix a pipe leak. To stop a leak till the plumber arrives, cut about 4" of split rubber hose, and slip around the pipe. Use a wrench to tighten until you can stop the leak.
All these however are only temporary solutions. You can expect the leak to begin again either at the same spot or at another section of the pipe. To detect a water leak in your house, look for damp patches on the walls and ceilings. It's not necessary that the damp patch is seen at the exact spot where the leak occurs. Water can travel through a leaking pipe for some distance before it shows up on your ceiling or wall. To fix a leaking pipe permanently, trust a professional pipe leak detection and repair service.
