FAQs
Which bathroom plumbing fixtures can your Rockwood team replace during an upgrade?
We can replace virtually any bathroom plumbing component, including sinks, faucets, showerheads, tub fillers, toilets, bidets, shower valves, body-spray systems, drains, and supply lines. If you are switching to low-flow or smart fixtures, adding a hand-shower, or converting a tub to a walk-in shower, our licensed plumbers handle all water, waste, and vent connections to ensure everything meets Ontario Plumbing Code requirements.
How long does a typical bathroom fixture replacement take?
Most single-fixture swaps—such as a faucet or toilet—are completed in 1–2 hours. Replacing multiple fixtures or those requiring valve relocation, tile work, or new shut-offs generally takes ½-1 full day. Full bathroom refreshes that include a new tub/shower unit, vanity, and toilet usually span 2–3 days to allow for demolition, plumbing rough-in, waterproofing, and finishing. We provide a detailed timeline at the quote stage so you know exactly what to expect.
Do I need to purchase the fixtures myself, or can you supply them?
You have both options. Many clients pick out fixtures at local Rockwood showrooms and have them shipped to us for inspection before installation. If you prefer turnkey service, we can recommend reliable brands, source the products at contractor pricing, and include them on one invoice. Either way, we’ll verify compatibility with your existing plumbing, water pressure, and rough-in dimensions to avoid surprises on installation day.
Are permits required for bathroom fixture replacements in Rockwood?
For like-for-like fixture swaps—e.g., changing a faucet or toilet in the same location—Rockwood’s building department does not usually require a permit. However, if we relocate supply or drain lines, install a new shower pan, or modify structural or electrical elements, a building or plumbing permit may be necessary. Our project manager will clarify permit needs, prepare drawings if required, and handle all submissions and inspections on your behalf.
What is the typical cost of bathroom fixture replacement?
Pricing depends on fixture type, accessibility, and any necessary pipe modifications. As a rough guide, expect: • Faucet replacement: $200–$350 installed • Standard toilet replacement: $300–$450 installed • Shower valve & trim upgrade: $500–$900 installed • Full bathroom fixture package (vanity faucet, showerhead, valve, toilet): $1,500–$2,500 installed These figures include labour, basic materials, and disposal of old fixtures; premium or custom products, tile repair, or permit fees are extra. We provide a written, fixed-price quote after an on-site assessment.
Will new fixtures really save water and lower my utility bills?
Yes. Modern WaterSense-labeled toilets use as little as 4.8 L per flush versus older 13 L models. High-efficiency showerheads deliver 6–7.5 L/min, cutting water consumption by up to 40 %. Because most bathroom water is heated, these reductions also lower natural gas or electricity costs. Over a year, a family of four can save 60,000–70,000 L of water and up to $150 on utilities. We’ll guide you toward the most efficient fixtures without sacrificing performance or comfort.
