FAQs
What types of plumbing fixtures can you replace in my Knoxville home?
Our licensed plumbers replace virtually every residential fixture, including kitchen and bathroom faucets, sinks, toilets, showerheads, tub valves, garbage disposals, dishwashers, ice-maker lines, outdoor hose bibbs, and laundry hookups. We also swap out specialty items such as bidet seats, pot fillers, utility sinks, bar sinks, and touchless or low-flow fixtures that meet Tennessee’s current water-efficiency standards.
How do I know it’s time to replace rather than repair a plumbing fixture?
Replacement is usually the better option when a fixture is over 10–15 years old, shows visible corrosion or cracks, requires frequent repairs, wastes water (e.g., a 3.5-gallon toilet), or no longer matches your remodel plans. In Knoxville’s hard-water environment, mineral buildup can ruin cartridges and valves prematurely—if parts are discontinued or the finish is beyond restoration, a new fixture saves money and frustration in the long run.
Do I need a permit for fixture replacement in Knoxville, and will you handle it?
Simple “like-for-like” swaps—such as replacing a faucet or toilet in the same location—usually do not require a City of Knoxville or Knox County permit. However, moving supply lines, altering drain configuration, or adding a new fixture often does. Our team stays current with local code (2018 IPC with Tennessee amendments) and will secure any required permits and schedule inspections on your behalf so the project is fully compliant.
How long does a typical fixture replacement take?
Most single-fixture jobs (toilet, faucet, disposal, etc.) are completed in 1–2 hours once we’re on site. More involved work—like replacing a tub/shower valve that requires wall access—can take 3–5 hours. If drywall, tile, or countertop modifications are needed, we’ll give you a realistic timeline up front and can coordinate any follow-up trades so you’re never without a working kitchen or bath for long.
What brands and styles do you offer, and can I supply my own fixture?
We stock and recommend major manufacturers such as Delta, Moen, Kohler, American Standard, Gerber, Insinkerator, and Bradford White (for utility sinks and water heaters). These brands carry solid warranties and readily available repair parts in Knoxville supply houses. If you’ve already purchased a fixture online or from a big-box store, we’re happy to install it after verifying it meets code and size requirements—just keep the instructions and all mounting hardware.
How much does fixture replacement cost and what factors influence the price?
Pricing starts around $165 for a basic faucet or disposal swap and ranges up to $600+ for complex shower valve replacements that require wall opening and finish trim. Key cost factors include fixture type, accessibility, condition of existing shut-off valves, any necessary drain or supply modifications, permit fees, and whether drywall/tile repair is needed. We provide flat-rate quotes before work begins, so there are no surprise charges, and we back every installation with a one-year labor warranty.
