FAQs
What kinds of plumbing fixtures can your Louisville-based licensed plumbers replace?
Our team can remove and install virtually any residential or light-commercial plumbing fixture, including sinks, faucets, garbage disposals, toilets, bidets, shower valves, tub spouts, showerheads, utility sinks, outdoor hose bibbs, ice-maker boxes, and laundry hookups. We also replace specialty fixtures such as touchless faucets, low-flow toilets, and ADA-compliant grab bars. If water runs through it, we can safely detach the old unit, update the supply lines and shut-off valves, and install the new fixture to current Kentucky plumbing code.
Why is it important to hire a licensed plumber instead of attempting a DIY fixture replacement?
Kentucky requires plumbing work to be performed by a state-licensed plumber to ensure safety and code compliance. A licensed plumber will pull any necessary permits, pressure-test supply lines, and vent and trap the fixture correctly—steps that DIY jobs often overlook. Improper installation can void manufacturer warranties, cause hidden leaks that lead to mold or structural damage, and expose you to fines if the work is inspected during a home sale. Hiring a licensed professional protects your investment, keeps your home insurance valid, and gives you a workmanship warranty.
How long does a typical plumbing fixture replacement take?
Most single-fixture swaps—such as replacing a faucet or toilet—take 1–2 hours when all parts are on hand and shut-off valves are functional. More involved jobs, like changing a tub/shower valve located inside a finished wall, can take 3–5 hours because drywall or tile may need to be removed and patched. If we have to update old galvanized or polybutylene supply lines, add shut-off valves, or correct drain slope issues, additional time will be required. Before starting, we give you a time estimate and keep you updated if hidden problems are uncovered.
Can upgrading my fixtures lower my water bill and increase efficiency?
Yes. Replacing older, high-flow toilets (3–5 gpf) with WaterSense-certified models (1.28 gpf or less) can reduce toilet water use by up to 60 %. Modern aerated faucets and low-flow showerheads cut flow rates from 2.5 gpm to as low as 1.2 gpm while maintaining pressure through air-injection technology. Over a year, many Louisville homeowners see a 10–20 % drop in their Louisville Water Company statement simply by updating fixtures. New fixtures also reduce the workload on your water heater, saving energy.
Do you supply the new fixtures, or may I purchase them myself?
We offer both options. Many customers prefer us to supply fixtures because we work with reputable wholesalers, which allows us to provide professional-grade products, ensure all rough-in dimensions match, and extend our labor warranty to cover the fixture. However, if you’ve already picked out a faucet or toilet from a home-improvement store, we’re happy to install it. We’ll review the specs beforehand to confirm compatibility with your plumbing and advise you if additional parts (wax rings, supply lines, escutcheons) are needed.
What does fixture replacement cost in Louisville, and do you guarantee your work?
Pricing depends on the fixture type, accessibility, and any code upgrades required. As a ballpark, faucet replacements start around $175–$225, standard toilet swaps range from $275–$375, and shower valve replacements typically run $450–$650 due to wall access. We provide upfront, flat-rate quotes—no surprises. All installations include a one-year labor warranty, and manufacturer warranties on parts can range from five years to lifetime, depending on the brand. Should any workmanship issue arise, we’ll return promptly at no charge to make it right.
