Signs it’s time to call a pro
Most problems give you warning signs — catch one early and you often avoid a bigger repair.
Dripping or leaking faucet
A constant drip usually means worn cartridges or seals — and a rising water bill.
Running or wobbling toilet
A toilet that runs or rocks points to a failing flapper, fill valve, or wax ring.
Low pressure or slow drain at the sink
Weak flow or a sluggish sink signals a clogged aerator, valve, or trap behind the fixture.
Shower that will not shut off or changes temperature
A worn cartridge or valve is the usual cause, and replacing it is a short repair.
Shutoff valve that will not close or weeps
The small valve under a sink or behind a toilet wears out. When it no longer closes, it is time to replace it.
Our work, done right
What’s included in our service
Plumbing fixture installation is setting or replacing the fixtures at your sinks, toilets, tubs and showers and connecting them to the water and drain lines. It also covers fixture repair: a faucet that drips, a toilet that runs or rocks, a shower valve that will not shut off. We handle the plumbing side, from supply lines and shutoffs to drain and trap connections.
Every fixture visit covers kitchen and bath faucets, sinks, toilets, shutoff valves, supply lines, and shower and tub valves — install, swap, or repair. We confirm the model, replace worn shutoffs and supply lines while we’re there, and water-test every connection before we close up. If a fixture you bought won’t seat right or the rough-in doesn’t match, we tell you straight rather than forcing a bad fit.
For a bigger job than a fixture, such as pipes behind the wall, see repiping; for a clogged drain behind a fixture, see drain clearing.

How to decide
Repair or replace? How to decide
A single worn cartridge or flapper is almost always worth repairing. But if a faucet or toilet is corroded, out of parts, or has been rebuilt more than once, we’ll show you why a clean replacement costs less over time — and we never push a swap when a part will do.

Straight talk on price
What does it cost?
Fixture work is flat-rate and quoted up front once we confirm the fixture and connections — never by the hour. Estimates are free, and for full-bath or kitchen fixture packages, financing through Acorn Finance is available.

Faucet, toilet and shower problems we fix
Most fixture trouble comes from a few worn parts. Knowing which one helps you decide between a repair and a replacement.
A faucet that drips or leaks at the handle
Cartridges, washers and seals wear out, and mineral scale makes it worse. A repair replaces the worn part. If the faucet is corroded or out of parts, a new one is the cleaner fix.
A toilet that runs, rocks or leaks at the base
A running toilet is usually a flapper or fill valve. A toilet that rocks or weeps at the floor needs a new wax ring, tightened bolts or a look at the flange.
A shower or tub valve that is worn out
If the shower will not shut off, runs hot and cold on its own or leaks at the handle, the cartridge or valve is the next thing to replace.
Low flow at one faucet
If only one fixture is weak, a clogged aerator or shutoff valve is the likely cause. If every tap is weak, see low water pressure: causes and cures.
Questions we hear
Plumbing fixture installation & repair for kitchens and baths questions, answered
The things Capital Region homeowners ask us most about repair, replacement and cost.

We quote flat-rate after confirming the fixture and connections — free estimate, no surprises.
We confirm the fixture fits the opening and the rough-in, shut the water off, remove the old fixture, set the new one, connect new supply lines and a working shutoff valve where the old ones are worn, connect the drain and trap, and then run the water and test every connection for leaks. Anything that does not fit, we tell you before we start.
Often we can. Faucet, toilet and sink calls get same-day service within business hours, Monday through Friday, 7:30am to 6pm, when the schedule allows, and dispatch confirms the soonest opening after you call or book online. Having the fixture model handy helps us bring the right part.
A drip almost always means a worn internal part: a rubber washer or seat in an older compression faucet, or a cartridge or ceramic disc in a newer one. Mineral scale from hard water speeds up the wear. Replacing the part usually stops the drip; if the faucet is corroded or parts are no longer made, replacing the whole faucet costs less over time.
Absolutely — bring your own faucet, sink, or toilet and we’ll confirm it fits before installing.
A toilet that moves is not sitting tight on the floor flange, and a leak at the base usually means the wax ring has failed. The fix is to pull the toilet, replace the wax ring, check the flange and bolts and reset it. If the flange is cracked or sits too low, that needs repair too. Never ignore a base leak, because it soaks the floor.
A toilet that keeps running usually has a flapper that no longer seals, a fill valve that does not shut off, or a float set too high. Lift the lid and look: if water trickles into the bowl, the flapper is the first suspect. If the water level keeps rising to the overflow tube, the fill valve is. Call us if replacing the part does not stop it.
Repair when one worn part is the problem and the fixture is otherwise sound. Replace when it is corroded, out of parts, leaking in more than one place or has already been rebuilt. We show you what failed and give a straight answer; we never push a swap when a part will do. Our repiping page covers the case where the pipes behind the wall are the issue.
Yes, and we recommend it when we replace a fixture. The small shutoff valves under a sink or behind a toilet get stiff or start to weep with age, and a valve that will not close leaves you with no way to stop the water in an emergency. Replacing the valve and the braided supply line while the fixture is out adds little to the job.
Yes. We back the labor on every kitchen and bathroom fixture install with a workmanship guarantee, and the fixture itself stays covered by its manufacturer’s warranty. If a connection leaks or a fitting works loose after we leave, we come back and make it right. See our guarantee.
Our hard water builds up mineral scale that clogs aerators, spots finishes, and stiffens faucet cartridges over time, so it pays to install fixtures with ceramic-disc valves and a finish that wipes clean. If you’re already seeing heavy buildup throughout the house, we can look at whole-home filtration or softening to protect the new fixtures and the rest of your plumbing.
