FAQs
What types of plumbing fixtures do you replace in Collegedale?
We replace and install a full range of residential and light-commercial fixtures, including faucets, sinks, toilets, garbage disposals, shower valves, tub and shower faucets, hose bibbs, ice-maker lines, and laundry/utility sinks. If water flows through it, we can remove the old unit, make any necessary piping adjustments, and set a brand-new, code-compliant fixture in its place.
How do I know whether a fixture should be repaired or completely replaced?
In general, replacement makes more sense when a fixture is over 10–15 years old, leaks repeatedly, shows corrosion or cracks, wastes water (e.g., 3.5-gpf toilets), or lacks modern features like ADA compliance or scald-guard protection. During a service call we inspect the fixture, check water pressure and shut-off valves, and give you an honest assessment of whether a long-term repair is feasible or if a new fixture will save you money and headaches.
Can I purchase my own fixtures or do I have to buy them through you?
Either option works. Many customers pick out faucets or toilets that match their décor at a local home-improvement store; just be sure it is a reputable brand and that all parts are included. If you prefer a turnkey solution, we can recommend professional-grade fixtures, source them at contractor pricing, and bring them to the job site. In both cases we will verify compatibility with your existing plumbing before installation.
How quickly can you schedule and complete a fixture replacement in Collegedale?
Standard fixtures such as faucets or toilets can usually be scheduled within 1–2 business days. The on-site installation itself typically takes 1–3 hours per fixture, depending on accessibility and any unforeseen pipe modifications. For larger projects—multiple bathroom upgrades, custom showers, or kitchen remodels—we’ll coordinate a convenient multi-day window and keep you informed every step of the way.
Do I need a permit for a simple fixture replacement, and do you handle the paperwork?
For most like-for-like replacements (e.g., swapping a faucet or toilet without moving drain lines) Collegedale does not require a separate plumbing permit. However, if we relocate supply or drain piping, install a new shower valve behind the wall, or perform work tied into a remodel, a permit and inspection may be necessary. Our licensed plumbers will determine permit requirements, file all paperwork with the city or Hamilton County as needed, and coordinate inspections at no extra hassle to you.
How much does a typical fixture replacement cost and what affects the price?
Prices vary with fixture type, brand, accessibility, and any pipe or valve upgrades. As ballpark figures: standard bathroom faucets start around $175 installed (labor only), toilets $250–$450, and garbage disposals $200–$325. Added costs may include shut-off valve replacement, flange repairs, or disposal of the old unit. We provide a written, up-front quote after an on-site evaluation, and we never begin work until you approve the total investment.
