A dripping faucet at the time of 2 a.m. A shower or bathtub faucet that refused to turn on.A bathroom faucet that had ceased turning. A shower handle which has been “almost fixed” for three months. If you recognize what that is, then you’ve come to the right place.
For more than 20 years, BOS Plumbing and Drains has been specializing in bathroom faucet installation in the Greater Toronto Area. We serve Mississauga, Oakville, Hamilton, Brampton, Milton, Niagara and Cambridge. We do it all by licensed plumbers who show up on time, price you appropriately, and complete the job the first time.
Many homeowners think that replacing a faucet is a weekend job for them. Sometimes it is. But the majority of calls we receive begin with the statement, “I did it myself, and now water is spraying everywhere.
Let’s take a look at the scope of our bath faucet installation service step-by-step:
Any other corroded valves, slow drain or supply lines out of service are also noted under the sink. No surprise charges. Only information to assist you in making a decision.
Expert solutions for all your residential & commercial plumbing needs
We serve the Greater Toronto Area and surrounding regions with local expertise
It’s frequently quicker to replace a bathroom faucet that is already in the sink. Water lines have already been installed. Drain has been installed. We play once, change cables, play again, and then done!
A brand new bathroom faucet installation in a renovation or new build will require more. We are laying supply lines, cutting holes in the deck (if necessary) and setting up from scratch. It is something that we do every day, but with different time frames.
Nevertheless, the labour is accurate in any case. An incorrect faucet installation causes the water to drip behind the wall or under the cabinet and this water damage can be expensive to fix, costing thousands of dollars. It’s easier, and more cost effective, to get it done right the first time.
The bathroom sinks are just one thing. Showers are another.
Many times, shower faucet installation and replacing shower valves involves working in the wall cavity. The complexity of the job depends on the type of shower system you have: cartridge valves, pressure-balance valves or thermostatic valves.
Some of the most frequently occurring phone calls we receive about showers:
If someone doesn’t know the pressure-balance valve requirements in Ontario, a new shower faucet installation can result in either scolding or freezing showers. Not ideal. Our plumbers are familiar with Ontario Building Code requirements relating to thermostatic protection and will install it as per these requirements.
The whole process of bathroom faucet replacing can amount to 1 to 2 hours. This involves disconnection, site inspection, replacement of the old faucet, new faucet connection and testing.
More involved jobs such as installing a new shower valve inside a wall can take 3 to 5 hours depending on access and the state of the existing plumbing.
We’ll provide you with a realistic time estimate prior to beginning. No ‘depends’ non-answer.
The first question a homeowner is likely to have is, “How much will it cost to install a bathroom faucet? It will depend on a variety of elements, such as the sort of faucet to be installed, the condition of the current plumbing and the necessity of further repair work.
When replacing a bathroom faucet, there is no need to create a lot of work cutting into the walls or floors, or to alter the plumbing lines, and this is generally also easier to accomplish than a brand new installation. Additional issues can have an impact on pricing such as changing shut-off valves, upgrading supply lines, repairing water damage under the sink, or adding specialty features like wall-mounted faucets or thermostatic shower valves.
Factors that affect faucet installation cost:
In some cases, it is a good idea to repair a faucet. These are problems that can be addressed: A worn washer, loose packing nut, and a cracked cartridge. However, at other times, replacing is a good strategy over repairing.
Watch for these:
Double faucet fixes: If the faucet needs to be fixed twice then the internal mechanism may have corroded or is worn out and beyond repair.
Water staining or rust around the base: This is typically a sign of water leakage occurring for some time between the faucet and the surface of the sink. Damage underneath such may be more extensive than what you can see.
The low water pressure at that faucet only: May be caused by a clogged aerator (easy fix) or the failure of the cartridge (replacement time).
The age of a faucet is a significant consideration as faucets over 15 – 20 years of age are generally at the end of their useful life, especially in hard water areas such as Mississauga or Hamilton.
