Faucet Repair and Installation for Homes Across the GTA
A drip is a worn cartridge, washer or O-ring. A loose spout, low flow or sputtering usually is too. Sometimes repair beats replacement; sometimes it does not.
- Trap and supply lines rebuilt under the fixture
- No-leak check with water running
- Old fixture hauled away on request
Diagnosis first, tested after
- Licensed & insured: ask us
- Camera before cutting
- Water-tested repairs
- Booked by phone
Signs it is time to call
Drips from the spout, leaks at the base of the handle, water under the sink, a stiff handle or a spray that goes sideways are typical complaints. Replacement makes sense when parts are unavailable, the finish has failed, or you want a different style.
- Spout dripping after shut-off
- Water pooling around the deck
- Low flow from one tap only
- Corroded supply lines under the sink
On the job, step by step
For repairs, we identify the brand and cartridge, shut the stops, and replace the worn part, cleaning mineral deposits off the seats. For installations, we remove the old faucet, which often means cutting through corroded nuts in a tight cabinet, clean the deck, set the new faucet with gaskets or putty as the maker specifies, connect new supply lines and check for leaks with the water on and off. Aerators are flushed after installation.
GTA houses and what they change
Hard water wears cartridges and clogs aerators in the GTA faster than in soft-water regions. Many older homes have fixture stops that do not close; we replace them. Kitchen faucets with pull-down sprayers need room for the hose weight under the sink.
Before you pick up the phone
Ask whether the plumber will replace the shut-off valves and supply lines while they are there. Call (365) 387-8531 with the brand if you know it.

Common questions
May I buy the faucet myself?
Of course. Have it on hand before we arrive, and count the deck holes first so the new one fits the sink or counter.
