FAQs
How do I know it’s time to replace my old plumbing fixtures?
Common signs include persistent leaks, visible corrosion, low water pressure, outdated styling, and rising utility bills due to inefficient water use. If repairs have become frequent or parts are discontinued, replacement is usually the more cost-effective option.
What types of fixtures can you replace in Athens homes and businesses?
Our licensed plumbers replace sinks, faucets, toilets, bathtubs, showers, garbage disposals, hose bibs, and specialty fixtures such as touch-free faucets and low-flow toilets. We handle both residential and commercial properties throughout Athens and the surrounding Clarke County area.
How much does a typical plumbing fixture replacement cost?
Pricing depends on the fixture type, brand, location, and any modifications needed to existing piping. On average, faucet replacements range from $150–$350 installed, toilets $300–$650, and full shower valve assemblies $450–$900. We provide free, no-obligation estimates after an on-site assessment so you know exact costs upfront.
Will I need a permit to replace my fixtures in Athens?
Minor like-for-like replacements (e.g., swapping a faucet) generally do not require a permit, but major changes—such as relocating a tub or converting a standard toilet to a wall-hung model—often do. We’re familiar with Athens-Clarke County regulations and will secure any necessary permits on your behalf.
How long does the replacement process take?
Most single-fixture swaps (toilet, faucet, disposer) are completed in 1–3 hours. Larger projects, such as a full bathroom fixture overhaul, may take 1–2 days. We schedule work at your convenience, arrive on time, and clean up the workspace before leaving.
Do new fixtures really save water and energy?
Yes. Modern WaterSense-certified faucets use up to 30% less water, while high-efficiency toilets (HETs) can save more than 13,000 gallons per year for a family of four. Many replacement shower heads also feature pressure-compensating technology that reduces flow without sacrificing comfort—lowering both water and water-heating costs over time.
