Yes, you can replace a standard shower drain strainer or compression gasket entirely from above without cutting into the ceiling below, provided you are not replacing the hidden P-trap or main subfloor waste pipe. Most modern shower drains feature a solvent-weld or compression ring design that allows you to unscrew the strainer basket and swap the rubber seals from inside the shower stall floor. Verification: Run water through the shower and inspect the drain area below to ensure zero leaks.
