FAQs
What types of plumbing fixtures can your Sunbright team replace?
Our licensed plumbers can remove and install virtually any residential or light-commercial fixture, including faucets, sinks, toilets, garbage disposals, shower valves, tub fillers, utility/laundry sinks, hose bibbs, and ice-maker or dishwasher valves. We also replace specialty items such as low-flow faucets, touchless fixtures, and ADA-compliant toilets. If water runs through it, we can install or upgrade it to current Sunbright plumbing code.
How do I know when it’s time to replace a plumbing fixture instead of repairing it?
Replacement is generally recommended when the fixture: 1) shows visible corrosion, cracks, or pitting; 2) has recurring leaks despite gasket or cartridge changes; 3) contains obsolete parts that are no longer manufactured; 4) wastes water (e.g., pre-1994 3.5 gpf toilets); or 5) no longer matches your remodel plans. Our technician will inspect the fixture and provide a repair-vs-replace cost comparison so you can make an informed decision.
What brands and materials do you recommend for long-term reliability in Sunbright’s humid climate?
For faucets and valves, we prefer solid-brass bodies with ceramic disc cartridges from brands such as Delta, Moen, Kohler, and American Standard. For toilets, we recommend porcelain models with glazed trapways from Toto or Gerber. Stainless-steel sinks (18-gauge or thicker) and 304-grade stainless supply lines resist corrosion in Sunbright’s humidity. If you choose plastic or composite fixtures, we specify high-impact ABS or fiberglass-reinforced acrylic to prevent UV and thermal degradation.
How long does a typical fixture replacement take and will my water be shut off?
Most single-fixture jobs—like swapping a faucet or toilet—take 1–2 hours. Complex replacements, such as shower valves behind tile, can take 3–5 hours. We isolate the work area with localized shut-off valves whenever possible, so only that fixture loses water. If the home lacks shut-offs, we coordinate with you and use the main valve; service is usually restored within 30–60 minutes.
Do you handle permitting and code compliance for Sunbright residents?
Yes. Sunbright follows the 2018 IPC (International Plumbing Code) with local amendments. We file any necessary permits, schedule city inspections, and ensure all fixtures meet current flow-rate, venting, and backflow requirements. You receive copies of inspection approvals for your records and future home resale.
What is the cost range for common fixture replacements and do you offer warranties?
Pricing varies with fixture quality and accessibility, but typical ranges are: faucets $225–$450 installed, standard toilets $350–$600, garbage disposals $275–$400, and shower valves $550–$900 (parts + labor). We provide upfront, written estimates. Labor is warrantied for 1 year, and most fixtures carry manufacturer warranties of 5 years to lifetime—our team handles any warranty claims on your behalf.
