FAQs
What kinds of faucet and plumbing-fixture replacement services do you provide in Shelbyville?
We replace and install all common residential fixtures, including kitchen and bathroom sink faucets, shower and tub valves, utility-sink faucets, outdoor hose bibs, and laundry connections. Our licensed technicians can also swap out complete fixtures such as sinks, toilets, and garbage disposals when a faucet change requires them. Every job includes removal and eco-friendly disposal of the old unit, inspection of supply lines and shut-off valves, and leak-free installation of the new fixture in compliance with Shelbyville’s plumbing code.
How can I tell whether my faucet should be repaired or fully replaced?
Minor issues such as a single worn-out cartridge, aerator blockage, or a loose handle can often be repaired inexpensively. Replacement makes more sense when the faucet body is cracked or corroded, when parts are discontinued, when finish damage is extensive, or when repeated leaks have already caused water-damage risks. If your fixture is more than 10–15 years old, upgrading to a modern, water-efficient model often saves you money on future repairs and reduces water usage by up to 30%.
Which faucet brands and styles do you recommend for Shelbyville homes?
We work with all major manufacturers—Delta, Moen, Kohler, Pfister, American Standard, and Grohe—but we typically recommend models that carry lifetime warranties on both finish and internal parts. For kitchens, pull-down sprayer faucets with a ceramic disc valve offer the best blend of durability and ease of use. In bathrooms, single-handle or touchless faucets are popular for their sleek look and water-saving flow rates under 1.2 gpm. We also help customers select ADA-compliant or “universal design” fixtures for improved accessibility.
How long will my water be shut off, and how long does a typical faucet replacement take?
For a straightforward sink-faucet swap, the water is usually off for 20–30 minutes while we disconnect the old lines and connect the new supply hoses. The total onsite time averages 60–90 minutes, including testing, caulking, and cleanup. More complex jobs—such as replacing corroded shut-off valves, installing new supply tubing inside the wall, or cutting countertop holes—can extend the visit to 2–4 hours, but we will give you a precise timeline before work begins.
Do I need a permit or inspection in Shelbyville to replace a faucet or other plumbing fixture?
The Shelbyville Building Department does not require a permit for direct, like-for-like faucet swaps where no walls are opened and the plumbing layout is unchanged. However, permits are required if you relocate supply or drain lines, alter structural members, or replace a fixture that ties into the vent stack. Our team handles all permitting and scheduling of inspections when they apply, ensuring your project passes city code and remains fully insured.
What does faucet replacement cost, and what factors influence the price?
Basic labor to remove an old faucet and install a customer-supplied replacement in Shelbyville starts around $150–$200. Costs rise if we provide a mid-range faucet ($125–$300), replace shut-off valves (+$25 each), upgrade supply lines to braided stainless (+$15–$30), or correct under-sink drain alignment (+$50–$75). Touchless, commercial-style, or high-end designer faucets can add $200–$600 to material costs. We always give a written, line-item quote before beginning work so you know the exact investment and warranty coverage.
