FAQs
What types of plumbing fixtures can your licensed technicians replace in Kingston?
Our certified plumbers can replace a full range of residential and light-commercial fixtures, including toilets, sinks, faucets, shower valves, bathtubs, kitchen and laundry taps, hose bibbs, garburators, and ice-maker or dishwasher supply lines. If it connects to your potable or drain system, we can remove the old unit, install the new fixture, and ensure it meets Ontario Building Code requirements.
Do I really need a licensed plumber to change a faucet or toilet?
While some homeowners attempt DIY replacements, Ontario law requires a licensed plumber for any work that involves potable-water or drain-waste-vent connections in order to protect public health. Hiring our licensed technicians guarantees code compliance, provides liability insurance coverage, and preserves manufacturer warranties on the new fixture. We also pull any necessary permits for more extensive renovations.
How long does a typical fixture replacement take?
Most single-fixture swaps (e.g., a toilet or lavatory faucet) take 1–2 hours once we’re on site. More involved jobs—such as replacing a tub with a new valve set or moving water lines—can take half a day to a full day. We’ll give you an accurate time estimate after an on-site assessment and arrive with all required parts to minimize disruption.
What factors influence the cost of a fixture replacement?
Pricing depends on four main factors: (1) the type and quality of the new fixture, (2) accessibility of existing shut-offs and piping, (3) any modifications needed to meet current code (e.g., adding hammer arrestors, upgrading drain size), and (4) disposal fees for the old fixture. We provide a written, upfront quote and stick to it—no surprise charges.
Do you offer warranties on your workmanship and the fixtures you install?
Yes. All labour is backed by our 1-year workmanship warranty. In addition, most name-brand fixtures carry a 5- to 10-year manufacturer warranty on mechanical parts and finishes. Because we are factory-authorized installers for several brands, any future warranty claims are handled directly through us, saving you time and paperwork.
Can you recommend water-saving or eco-friendly fixture options?
Absolutely. We stock WaterSense-certified toilets and faucets, low-flow showerheads, and smart touchless kitchen taps. Upgrading to these fixtures can reduce water use by up to 30%, lowering your utility bills and helping Kingston meet its environmental targets. During our consultation we’ll review efficiency ratings, rebates available through Utilities Kingston, and the payback timeline so you can make an informed choice.
