Fixture installation in Toronto, priced by the actual work involved
A faucet swap and a toilet replacement in a 1960s bathroom are not the same job. We quote to what your fixtures and rough-in actually require.

Why fixture installs vary so much in price across the GTA
A quote for 'install a faucet' can mean two very different jobs depending on what's underneath. In older Toronto homes, supply lines and shutoffs are often original and need replacing just to safely connect a new fixture. In newer GTA builds, the same job might be a straight swap.
Shutoff valves are often the hidden cost
If the existing shutoff is seized or original to a decades-old home, replacing it is often necessary before a new fixture can go in safely — and it's a separate line item, not an included freebie.
Rough-in spacing isn't always standard
Older Toronto bathrooms sometimes have non-standard rough-in dimensions that don't match a big-box fixture's default fit, requiring adaptation.
Code compliance can add scope
Certain fixture swaps trigger updated code requirements, like backflow prevention, that a bargain quote may simply not mention.
We separate the fixture cost from our labour
Whether you supply your own fixture or we source it, the two costs are shown separately so you know exactly what our work costs.
The quote said 'installation included' but the final bill was higher
This usually happens when a shutoff valve, supply line, or rough-in issue is discovered mid-install and treated as a surprise add-on rather than something scoped up front.
We check the rough-in and shutoffs before quoting
A quick look, or photos you send us, tells us whether the existing setup will accept the new fixture cleanly or needs supporting work first — so that cost is in the original quote, not a follow-up invoice.

Fixture installation questions
Can I supply my own faucet or toilet?
Yes — we'll quote labour separately whether you supply the fixture or we source it for you.
Why would a simple faucet swap cost more than expected?
Often the shutoff valve or supply line beneath an older sink needs replacing to safely connect a new fixture — we flag this before starting, not after.
Do older Toronto homes have non-standard rough-ins?
Some do, particularly pre-war properties, and it can affect how a modern fixture fits — we check this as part of scoping.
Will you tell me if a fixture is poor quality?
Yes, plainly. If a budget fixture is likely to cause callbacks, we'll say so before you buy it.
