FAQs
What types of bathroom fixtures can you replace or upgrade?
We handle every common bathroom plumbing component, including faucets, showerheads, tub and shower valves, toilets, bidets, sink basins, pop-up drains, trim kits, and supply lines. We also install specialty items such as rainfall shower systems, touchless faucets, thermostatic mixing valves, low-profile or comfort-height toilets, and ADA-compliant grab bars. If the fixture ties into your water supply or drain system, we can remove, relocate, or replace it with the latest models approved for use in Friendsville.
How long does a typical bathroom fixture replacement project take in Friendsville?
A straightforward swap—like changing a faucet or showerhead—can be completed in 1–2 hours. Replacing a toilet generally takes 2–3 hours, allowing time for flange inspection and wax-ring replacement. More involved projects that include opening walls, moving supply lines, or converting a tub spout diverter to a separate pressure-balanced valve often run 4–6 hours or may be scheduled over two visits. We confirm timing after we see the existing setup and receive any special-order fixtures.
Do I need a permit to replace my bathroom fixtures?
In Friendsville, you do not usually need a building permit for a like-for-like fixture swap (e.g., taking out an old faucet and installing a new one in the same location). However, if we are rerouting supply or drain lines, installing new shut-off valves inside a wall, or moving a toilet flange, the work falls under the International Plumbing Code adopted by the Town of Friendsville and a permit is required. We will advise you during the estimate, pull any necessary permits, and coordinate inspections with the municipal building department.
How much does replacing bathroom fixtures cost and what affects the price?
Pricing starts around $150 for a basic faucet installation when you supply the fixture and there are no valve or countertop modifications. Toilets average $325–$450 installed, including a new wax ring, flange bolts, and haul-away of the old unit. Combination valve and trim upgrades can range from $450 to $1,100 depending on wall access and tile type. Factors that influence cost include fixture quality, whether shut-off valves or supply lines need replacement, accessibility behind tile or drywall, permit fees, and disposal requirements. We provide a written, line-item estimate before any work begins.
Can new fixtures help reduce water consumption?
Absolutely. High-efficiency toilets (HET) use as little as 1.28 gallons per flush, saving up to 20,000 gallons per household each year compared to older 3.5-gallon models. WaterSense-labeled faucets and showerheads maintain strong pressure while limiting flow to 1.2 and 2.0 gallons per minute, respectively. We can also install thermostatic shower valves that reach target temperature faster, reducing wasted water during warm-up. These upgrades often qualify for utility rebates available to Friendsville residents, further offsetting the cost.
Will you dispose of my old fixtures and clean up after installation?
Yes. Haul-away of removed fixtures, packaging, and job-site debris is included in every quote. We protect your flooring with drop cloths, vacuum the work area, and wipe down new fixtures so your bathroom is ready for immediate use. Whenever possible, we recycle metal components and donate usable fixtures through local habitat-for-humanity programs, aligning with Friendsville’s sustainability goals.
