FAQs
What types of plumbing fixtures can you replace in Rockford homes or businesses?
Our licensed technicians can replace virtually any water-related fixture, including kitchen and bathroom faucets, sinks, toilets, garbage disposals, shower valves and trim kits, bathtubs, laundry/utility tubs, outdoor hose bibs, and ice-maker or pot-filler lines. We also handle water-using appliances such as dishwashers and refrigerator water lines. If you’re not sure whether your item is considered a fixture, just give us a call and we’ll let you know.
How do I know when a fixture should be replaced rather than repaired?
In general, replacement is recommended when the existing fixture ① is more than 10–15 years old, ② has recurring leaks or corrosion, ③ contains obsolete or discontinued parts, ④ is no longer water-efficient by today’s standards, or ⑤ no longer matches the style of your remodeled space. If the cost of repair exceeds about 50 % of the price of a new fixture, replacement usually makes better financial sense. Our technician will provide both options so you can make an informed decision.
Do you offer same-day or emergency fixture replacement services in Rockford?
Yes. Because plumbing failures can quickly cause water damage, we keep common fixtures and repair parts on our service trucks and maintain local warehouse stock. For calls placed before 1 PM we can usually complete the replacement the same day. After-hours or weekend emergency service is also available for an additional fee so you’re never left without a functioning toilet, sink, or shower.
How much does it cost to replace a typical faucet, toilet, or other fixture?
Prices vary based on brand, model, and installation complexity, but most standard replacements fall in these ranges (parts and labor): kitchen or bath faucet $250–$550, toilet $350–$750, garbage disposal $275–$450, and shower valve/trim $650–$1,200. We provide a written, flat-rate quote before work begins, so there are no surprises. Senior, military, and multi-fixture discounts are available, and financing can be arranged for larger projects.
Can I purchase my own fixture and have you install it?
Absolutely. You may supply any fixture that meets U.S. and Illinois plumbing codes. We’ll verify compatibility with your existing plumbing and let you know if any additional fittings are required. Please keep receipts and manufacturer documentation so we can register warranties where applicable. Fixtures purchased through us, however, carry our extended labor warranty and expedited parts replacement if ever needed.
Are permits required for fixture replacements in Rockford, and will you handle them?
Simple “like-for-like” swaps of faucets or toilets usually don’t require a permit, but any work that alters drain, vent, or water lines—or involves a shower valve in the wall—does. When a permit is required, we prepare the paperwork, submit it to the City of Rockford Building Department, pay the associated fee, and coordinate inspections. This ensures your project is fully code-compliant and protects your home’s resale value.
