Fixture replacements: faucets, toilets and sinks: A faucet that drips or a toilet that never stops running
Faucets and toilets wear out a little at a time. The drip gets steadier, or the toilet starts refilling on its own at night. When a repair isn't worth it any more, we take the old fixture out and put the new one in properly.

What to watch for
Signs it’s time to call
- A faucet that drips no matter how hard you close it
- A toilet that keeps running after the tank has filled
- A toilet that rocks or leaks at the base
- Cracks in a sink or a toilet tank
- A handle that has gone stiff or spins without doing much
- You're updating a kitchen or bathroom and the old fixtures have to go
What we do
How we handle it
-
Step 1: Check if a repair would do
A worn cartridge or flapper is a small fix. If that's all it needs, we'll say so before talking about a new fixture.
-
Step 2: Take out the old fixture
We shut off the water, disconnect the fixture and lift it out without damaging the counter or floor around it.
-
Step 3: Install the new one
The new faucet, toilet or sink goes in with fresh seals. On a toilet that means a new wax ring, and on a sink it means sealing the rim and reconnecting the drain.
-
Step 4: Replace tired valves and supply lines
The shut-off valve and supply line under a fixture age along with it. If they're corroded or stiff, we replace them while everything is apart.
-
Step 5: Test for leaks
We turn the water on, run the fixture and check every connection for drips. Before we go, we show you where its shut-off is.

Before we get there
- If the fixture is leaking, turn the small shut-off valve under the sink or behind the toilet clockwise. If it won’t turn, leave it and close the main water shut-off instead.
- Empty the cabinet under the sink, or clear the floor around the toilet, so there’s room to work.
- If you have a particular fixture in mind, tell us when you call or text so we can talk it through before the visit.
- A photo of the old fixture and the pipes under it helps too. Text it to the same number you’d call.
Fixture replacements: common questions
Should I repair my faucet or replace it?
If the body is sound and parts are available, a repair is usually enough. Replacement makes more sense when the finish is corroded, or when it has been repaired before and is dripping again. We'll tell you which way we'd go and why.
Why does my toilet rock or leak at the base?
The seal between the toilet and the drain has likely failed, or the bolts holding it down have loosened. Water at the base can soak into the subfloor, so it's worth fixing soon. Sometimes resetting the toilet on a new seal is all it needs.
Can you replace the shut-off valves at the same time?
Yes, and it's a good time to do it. An old valve that hasn't been turned in a long time often seizes or drips once it's disturbed. Replacing it while the fixture is out saves a second visit.
Is a fixture replacement a flat-rate job?
It may be. Some of our jobs are flat rate and others are quoted after an inspection, and which one applies depends on what's being replaced. Ask when you call or text. Estimates are free, and we explain the costs before any work starts.
