FAQs
What plumbing fixture replacement services do you offer in Elora?
We replace a full range of residential and light-commercial fixtures, including faucets, sinks, toilets, shower valves, tub spouts, garbage disposals, laundry tubs, exterior hose bibbs, and water-saving appliances. Our licensed plumbers handle everything from removing the old unit and inspecting supply lines to installing, testing, and disposing of the old fixture in accordance with Centre Wellington municipal guidelines.
How can I tell if it’s time to replace rather than repair a fixture?
Consider replacement when you see chronic leaks, visible corrosion, recurring clogs, low water pressure that repairs haven’t solved, cracked porcelain, or outdated components that no longer meet efficiency codes. If repair costs exceed 50 % of the price of a new fixture, replacement is usually the smarter long-term investment.
What brands or types of fixtures do you recommend for Elora homes?
We install all major brands, but often recommend Moen, Delta, Kohler, American Standard, and Toto for their reliability, warranty support, and local parts availability. For water conservation, we suggest WaterSense-certified faucets and 4.8 L (1.28 gpf) high-efficiency toilets, which meet Ontario Building Code standards and may qualify for local rebates.
How long does a typical fixture replacement take and will my water be shut off?
Most single-fixture swaps—like a kitchen faucet or toilet—take 1–2 hours. Larger projects, such as a full shower valve replacement behind the wall, can take 3–5 hours. We normally shut off water only to the specific fixture, so the rest of your home stays functional. Total water-off time is usually under 30 minutes.
Do I need a permit to replace fixtures in Elora?
Simple like-for-like fixture replacements (e.g., faucet, toilet) generally don’t require a municipal plumbing permit. However, if we must alter drainage, venting, or supply piping, or if the project is part of a larger renovation, a permit from Centre Wellington Building Services may be necessary. We’ll advise you during the quote and can handle all permit paperwork if required.
How much does a plumbing fixture replacement cost and what affects the price?
Costs in Elora start at about $225 for a basic faucet replacement and range up to $1,200+ for complex installs like wall-mounted toilets or custom shower systems. Factors include fixture price, accessibility, the need for shut-off valve upgrades, pipe modifications, disposal fees, and whether after-hours service is required. All quotes are provided upfront, so you know the exact price before work begins.
