FAQs
What kinds of plumbing fixtures can you replace in my Shelbyville home?
Our licensed technicians can remove and install virtually any residential plumbing fixture, including kitchen and bathroom faucets, sinks, toilets, garbage disposals, shower valves, tub and shower trim kits, hose bibbs, and ice-maker or dishwasher supply lines. If you have a specialty item—such as a touchless faucet, a high-efficiency toilet, or a wall-mounted sink—let us know when you schedule so we bring the right tools and parts.
How does the fixture replacement process work from start to finish?
1) Schedule: Call or book online and choose a convenient two-hour arrival window. 2) Assessment: When we arrive, we shut off water, inspect existing plumbing, and confirm that the new fixture is compatible. 3) Up-front pricing: You receive a written quote before any work starts. 4) Removal & installation: We protect floors, remove the old unit, update supply lines or shut-off valves if needed, and install the new fixture to manufacturer specs and Shelbyville code. 5) Testing & cleanup: We pressure-test for leaks, adjust water flow or flush volume, haul away the old fixture, and leave the area clean. Most single-fixture jobs take 60–90 minutes; multiple fixtures may take half a day.
Do I need to buy the new fixture myself, or can you supply one?
Either option works. Many customers pick a style they love at a local home center and have it waiting for us. If you prefer, we can recommend fixtures that balance durability, water efficiency, and budget, then pick them up and bring them to the appointment. Because we’re a registered dealer for several major brands, we can often secure better pricing and extended manufacturer warranties when we supply the unit.
How much will a fixture replacement cost, and what factors affect the price?
Standard replacements—such as swapping a faucet or toilet of the same configuration—generally start around $175–$250 plus the cost of the fixture. Price varies based on accessibility (e.g., pedestal vs. drop-in sink), upgrades like new shut-off valves or supply lines, and whether modifications to drain or water lines are required. You’ll always receive a firm quote before work begins, and we never charge hidden trip or disposal fees inside Shelbyville city limits.
Will I need a permit or inspection for my fixture replacement in Shelbyville?
For like-for-like fixture swaps inside a single-family home, Shelbyville’s plumbing code usually does not require a permit. If the job involves relocating supply or drain lines, installing a new shower valve inside the wall, or working in a multi-family building, the city may require a permit and inspection. Our staff will advise you during the scheduling call and, if needed, handle all paperwork and coordination with Shelbyville Building & Codes on your behalf.
What kind of warranty or guarantee do you provide?
We stand behind our workmanship with a 1-year labor warranty, which means if a connection we installed leaks or a fixture we set shifts within 12 months, we’ll return and correct it at no charge. Fixtures we supply carry the full manufacturer warranty—often lifetime on faucets and 5–10 years on toilets—while customer-supplied fixtures are covered under their respective brand policies. All warranties are clearly outlined on your invoice for easy reference.
