FAQs
What types of plumbing fixtures can you replace in my Kingston home?
We handle the full range of residential and light-commercial fixture replacements, including kitchen and bathroom faucets, sinks, toilets, bathtubs, shower valves, showerheads, laundry tubs, outdoor hose bibbs, and garbage disposals. If it moves water in or out of your property, we can usually replace it with a modern, water-efficient model that meets current Ontario Plumbing Code requirements.
How do I know when a plumbing fixture needs to be replaced rather than repaired?
Recurring leaks, visible corrosion, cracked porcelain, outdated parts no longer available, low water pressure after internal wear, or persistent clogs often signal it’s time for a full replacement. In Kingston’s hard-water environment, mineral buildup can shorten a fixture’s life. During our site visit we’ll inspect the fixture, explain repair versus replacement costs, and recommend the most cost-effective solution.
How long does a typical fixture replacement take?
Most single-fixture jobs (such as a faucet or toilet) are completed in 1–2 hours, including removal, installation, testing, and cleanup. Larger projects, like replacing a tub and valve or multiple fixtures throughout the house, may take half a day to a full day. We provide a realistic timeline before work begins and keep you updated if we encounter hidden issues such as deteriorated shut-off valves or sub-floor damage.
Do I need to supply the new fixture myself or can you help me choose one?
Either option works. Many clients pick out fixtures at their favourite home-improvement store and have them ready for us to install. If you prefer guidance, we’ll recommend reliable, brand-name products that match your style, budget, and water-efficiency goals. Because we purchase directly from plumbing suppliers, we can often secure better pricing and ensure you receive CSA-approved fixtures with valid manufacturer warranties.
Are permits required for plumbing fixture replacements in Kingston?
Simple like-for-like swaps (e.g., replacing a faucet or toilet in the same location) generally do not require a municipal permit. However, if the job involves relocating plumbing lines, altering venting, or installing a new fixture where none existed, Kingston Building Services may require a plumbing permit and inspection. We’ll verify the scope, pull any necessary permits on your behalf, and coordinate inspections to keep the project compliant.
How much does fixture replacement cost, and do you offer upfront pricing?
Costs vary with fixture type, accessibility, and any extra repairs (e.g., flange replacements or shut-off upgrades). As a guideline, faucet or toilet swaps start from $185–$275 labour, plus the cost of the fixture and materials. Before we begin, you’ll receive a written, itemized quote that covers labour, parts, disposal, and taxes—no hidden fees. We also provide bundled pricing for multiple fixtures replaced during one visit to help you save on overall project costs.
