The work

What plumbing & fixtures looks like

More about this service

Faucets, toilets & fixtures — leak-tested before we leave

A dripping faucet or a running toilet quietly wastes hundreds of litres a month and adds to every water bill until it's fixed. Fixture-level plumbing is squarely in a skilled handyman's wheelhouse, and it's some of the most-requested work we do across Toronto. We install and replace kitchen and bathroom faucets, toilets, shower heads and supply lines, then run a full leak check before we consider the job done.

Our home-builder roots mean we understand what sits behind the wall, so we catch the problems a quick swap can miss — a corroded shut-off, a failing flange, or a supply line ready to burst. When a job genuinely needs a licensed plumber (re-piping, moving a drain, opening a wall), we'll tell you plainly and refer one. Fresh caulking around tubs, showers and sinks keeps moisture out and is included on most visits. Most fixture jobs finish in one to two hours.

In depth

Plumbing Handyman Toronto: How Fixture Swaps and Leak Repairs Are Done

Every faucet or toilet installation in Toronto starts at the shut-off valves, not the fixture. Older houses and many condos still have multi-turn stops that seize or start weeping once they are finally turned. We test them before disconnecting anything, so you are never left with water you cannot shut off. In a condo, we also confirm where the unit’s isolation valves are, since a building-wide shutdown is not something to discover mid-job.

For faucets, we check the hole count against the new tap (single-hole, three-hole with a deck plate, or wall-mount), the thickness of a stone counter, and whether the old drain and p-trap are worth keeping. New braided supply lines go on as standard. Mineral scale from city water is a frequent cause of drips and weak flow, so a dripping faucet is often fixed with a new cartridge rather than a whole new tap, once we identify the brand and model.

Toilet installation details that matter

  • Rough-in: most toilets need a 12-inch rough-in, but older Toronto bathrooms can be 10 or 14 inches. Measure before you buy.
  • Flange: cast-iron drains in older homes can have corroded flanges that need a repair ring before a new wax ring will seal.
  • Uneven tile: the bowl is shimmed so it cannot rock, then caulked at the base.
  • Running toilets: usually a worn flapper, fill valve or chain, repaired inside the hour.

A single faucet or toilet swap usually fits the 1-hour ($150) or 2-hour ($280) tier. Seized valves, a damaged flange or a bathroom of fixtures in one visit can push it to 3 hours ($410). Work that re-pipes supply lines, moves a drain or relocates a fixture is coordinated with a licensed plumber, and anything involving gas goes to a TSSA-licensed fitter.

If the fixture swap is really the start of a bigger update, see our bathroom renovation service; condo owners can also check our condo repairs page.

FAQ

Plumbing & Fixtures — common questions

Are you licensed plumbers?

Our techs handle fixture-level plumbing — faucet, toilet, shower-head swaps, traps, supply lines and caulking — which is within a handyman's scope. For re-piping, moving drains, or anything behind the wall, we refer a licensed plumber.

My toilet runs constantly — can you fix it?

Usually yes, in well under an hour — most are a flapper, fill valve or flange issue. If the tank or bowl is cracked we'll swap the whole unit (typically a 2-hour job) and leak-test it.

Do you re-caulk showers and tubs?

Yes. We remove the old caulk completely, prep and dry the surface, and lay a clean mildew-resistant bead. Done right it stops water getting behind your tile.

Do I need a licensed plumber or can a handyman do it?

Fixture-level work — faucets, toilets, shower heads, supply lines, garburators and the like — is squarely handyman work, and it's some of the most common we do. Re-piping, moving a drain, or anything inside the wall needs a licensed plumber, and we'll say so plainly and refer one when that's the case.

How much does it cost to install a faucet or toilet in Toronto?

Most single faucet or toilet installs fit our 1-hour ($150) flat rate, including a full leak check. Doing several fixtures together — say a kitchen faucet, a toilet and a couple of shut-off valves — is best bundled into a 2-hour ($280) visit for better value.

Can you fix a running toilet or a leaky faucet?

Yes — these are quick, high-value fixes. A running toilet (usually a flapper or fill valve) and a dripping faucet (usually a worn cartridge) each waste water and money until they're repaired, and both are typically sorted well within the 1-hour rate.
