FAQs
What types of plumbing fixtures can you replace in Louisville homes and businesses?
We replace virtually any water-using fixture found in kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms, and outdoor living areas. That includes faucets, sinks, toilets, garbage disposals, shower valves, showerheads, tubs, utility sinks, hose bibbs, ice-maker lines, and water-filtration taps. We also handle specialty fixtures such as touchless faucets, bidet seats, pot fillers, and commercial hand-washing stations. If it carries water, drains water, or mixes hot and cold, our licensed plumbers can remove the old unit and install a new, code-compliant replacement.
How do I know whether I should repair a fixture or replace it entirely?
Our rule of thumb is the 50 % test: if a repair costs more than half the price of a new fixture, replacement usually makes more financial sense. Other replacement triggers include visible cracks or corrosion, chronic leaks that have already re-occurred after previous repairs, outdated finishes you want to modernize, and high water consumption compared with today’s WaterSense-labeled models. During a free in-home assessment we check the fixture’s age, any manufacturer recalls, water-pressure readings, and surrounding pipe condition before recommending repair or replacement.
What is the average cost of plumbing fixture replacement in Louisville?
Prices vary with the type of fixture, model selected, and site conditions, but typical ballpark ranges are: • Standard kitchen or bathroom faucet: $225–$450 installed • Toilet replacement: $325–$650 installed (includes wax ring, bolts, supply line, and haul-away) • Garbage disposal swap-out: $275–$500 installed • Shower valve & trim kit: $650–$1,100 installed Labor, basic materials, haul-away, and one-year workmanship warranty are included. Premium designer fixtures, extensive pipe modifications, or damage repair (e.g., subfloor rot) can raise the total. We provide firm, written quotes before any work begins.
Do I need a plumbing permit or inspection for fixture replacements in Jefferson County?
Simple like-for-like fixture swaps—such as replacing a faucet or toilet without moving water or drain lines—usually do NOT require a Louisville Metro plumbing permit. However, any change that alters the drain, vent, or supply layout, penetrates framing, or involves a new tub/shower valve behind the wall must be permitted and inspected by the Louisville/Jefferson County Metro Department of Codes & Regulations. Our team pulls the required permits on your behalf, schedules the inspection, and ensures your project passes the first time.
How long will a standard fixture replacement take, and will my water be shut off all day?
Most single-fixture replacements are completed in one service visit lasting 1–3 hours. For example, a faucet swap averages 90 minutes, and a toilet replacement about two hours. Multi-fixture bathroom remodels or shower-valve rough-ins may take half a day to a full day. We only shut off water to the specific fixture (or to the house if isolated shut-offs are missing) while we disconnect and reconnect—typically 20–40 minutes—so your household is not without water all day.
What brands do you install and what kind of warranty do you provide?
We are authorized installers for leading manufacturers such as Moen, Delta, Kohler, American Standard, Toto, Insinkerator, and Elkay. You may purchase fixtures through us or supply your own. Manufacturer warranties range from 1-year parts to lifetime limited finishes and cartridges, depending on brand and model. In addition, we back every fixture replacement with a 12-month labor warranty covering workmanship and re-installation if any leaks occur due to our service.
