Fixture installation for Toronto homes, set square the first time
A new faucet or toilet is only as good as the install underneath it. We get it level, sealed, and tested before we leave.

Fixture work across different housing stock
Swapping a faucet in a 1960s North York bungalow and installing one in a brand-new Oakville build aren't the same job. Shutoffs, supply line material and rough-in spacing all vary.
Older shutoff valves
Many Toronto homes still have original gate valves under the sink that seize up the moment you try to close them — often the first surprise of a fixture swap.
Mismatched rough-in
Older toilets sometimes sit on a rough-in that doesn't match modern standard fixtures, which changes what will actually fit.
New-build corner-cutting
Some newer GTA homes have fixtures installed fast during the build, with shims or sealant doing work that proper leveling should have done.
Hard water buildup
Mineral scale on old fixtures can make removal slower and messier than expected, especially on original 1970s and 1980s hardware.
A fixture that looks installed isn't the same as one installed right
A wobbly toilet, a faucet that weeps at the base, a tub spout that drips after the shower's off — these are almost always installation shortcuts, not product defects.
We take the extra ten minutes
Proper wax ring seating, correct torque on supply connections, actual leveling instead of eyeballing it. It's a small time difference that's the whole reason a fixture lasts fifteen years instead of two.

Fixture installation questions
Do I need to buy the fixture myself?
You can supply your own fixture or ask us for recommendations. Either way, email us the details and we'll confirm compatibility with your existing plumbing.
Why did my old shutoff valve need replacing during the install?
Older gate valves, common in many GTA homes, often seize after years of not being used and can't be trusted to hold once disturbed. Replacing them is standard practice, not an upsell.
Can you match a rough-in toilet from an older home?
Yes, we check the rough-in distance before recommending a fixture so what we install actually fits your existing floor flange.
How long does a typical faucet or toilet install take?
A straightforward swap is usually a same-visit job. Anything involving valve replacement or rough-in issues takes longer, and we'll tell you upfront if that's the case.
Do you install tubs and showers too?
Yes, along with faucets, toilets, sinks and related fixtures across bathrooms and kitchens.
