Why Calgary homeowners book this
Dripping faucets waste 20 litres per day
A slow drip from a worn faucet wastes thousands of litres a year and drives up your water bill. Swapping the fixture is faster and cheaper than replacing individual cartridges on an old tap — and the new one comes with a warranty.
Old shutoff valves fail when you turn them off
A shutoff valve that has not moved in 10+ years can crack or refuse to close when we need it open for the swap. We test it before touching anything — if it will not close cleanly, we stop and advise before any disassembly so there is no risk of flooding.
Leak checks after every swap, no exceptions
A finger-tight supply line connection drips quietly under the cabinet for months before the cabinet floor rots out. We turn the water on, run the tap and check every single connection before calling the job done — every time.
What is included
- Remove the old fixture cleanly without damaging the sink or countertop
- Install the customer-supplied new fixture per manufacturer instructions
- Tighten all supply line connections — hand-tight plus a quarter turn
- Check shutoff valve function before and after the swap
- Turn water on and check all connection points for any drips
- Test flow rate and hot/cold temperature orientation
- Flush the aerator after install to clear installation debris
- Clean up the under-sink area before we leave
- Check and reinstall the drain stopper if the faucet included a new one
- Confirm hot and cold are on the correct sides
- Advise if supply lines need replacing before we start
- Caulk the faucet base to the countertop if needed

Who books this service
New home fixture update
Builder-grade faucets on every tap and a shower head that barely drips — time to upgrade everything in one visit.
Old dripping faucet
A dripping kitchen faucet wastes 20 litres a day — we swap the fixture, check the supply lines and confirm no more drip before leaving.
Shower head upgrade
Replacing a flow-restricted builder head with a rain head or handheld unit makes a bigger difference than almost any other bathroom upgrade.
Rental fixture swap
Tenant moved out and the faucet handle is cracked, the shower head is clogged and the toilet runs — we do all three in one visit.
Post-renovation plumbing finish
The contractor roughed in the plumbing and left — we install the fixtures, hook up supply lines and confirm everything is leak-free.
Gift install — new faucet in box
Received a new faucet as a gift or bought one on sale — we install it cleanly and haul away the old one.
What to have ready before we arrive
A quick prep means we can start the moment we walk in — no wasted time hunting for shutoffs or clearing cabinets.
Buy the fixture first
Have the new faucet, shower head or toilet hardware at home before you book. We confirm it fits your sink or shower before arrival — send a photo of the box so we can check hole count and connection size.
Know your shutoff location
Under-sink shutoffs are most common — check that the valves turn. If there is no under-sink shutoff or it is stuck, tell us when you book so we can advise before arriving.
Clear under the sink
Remove cleaning products, spare rolls and anything stored under the sink so we have room to work without shifting your belongings around during the install.
Tip: Check your new faucet has flexible braided supply lines included in the box — some fixtures ship without them. If the box is supply-line-free, pick up a pair of 3/8" compression braided lines at the hardware store so we do not have to pause the job.
★★★★★Google Review“Replaced our kitchen faucet in 45 minutes flat and checked every connection for leaks before leaving. Clean install, no mess under the sink — just a brand new faucet that works perfectly.”
Old shutoff valves fail when you turn them off
A shutoff valve that has not been turned in 10+ years can crack or refuse to close when we need to swap the faucet. We test the valve before starting — if it will not close, we stop and advise before any disassembly so there is zero risk of an uncontrolled water release in your home.
In Calgary homes built before 1995, ball valve shutoffs often seize from mineral buildup in the water supply. We will advise if a plumber is needed to replace the valve before we can safely swap the fixture.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to buy the faucet first?
Yes — have the fixture home before booking so we can confirm it fits your sink configuration. We install customer-supplied fixtures only. If you are not sure which faucet to buy, send us a photo of the sink and we will advise on hole count and spout reach before you purchase.
Do you supply fixtures?
We do not supply faucets, shower heads or toilet hardware — we install what you provide. This keeps costs down and lets you choose the exact finish and style you want. Most fixtures from Home Depot, RONA or online retailers work fine.
What if my shutoff valve is stuck?
We test the shutoff valve before touching the faucet. If it will not close, we stop and advise before any disassembly — replacing a stuck shutoff valve is plumber scope and doing it incorrectly risks flooding. In Calgary homes built before 1995, ball valve shutoffs often seize and may need a plumber first.
How long does a faucet swap take?
Most faucet swaps take 30 to 45 minutes for a straightforward replacement with good shutoff valve access. Older homes with corroded connections or hard-to-reach supply lines may take 60 to 75 minutes. We confirm timing when we quote.
Can you replace a bathroom faucet the same day?
Yes — if you already have the fixture and your shutoff valve works, we can often schedule same-day or next-morning. Send us a photo of the current faucet and the new fixture box so we can confirm compatibility before we arrive.
Do you check for leaks?
Yes — every single install, no exceptions. We turn the water on, run the tap and check every connection point before we leave. We also wipe under the sink and check the drain connection if the faucet came with a new stopper mechanism.
What if the supply lines are too short?
Supply lines often need replacing when a faucet is swapped — the old ones may be the wrong length or have corroded fittings. New braided stainless supply lines are $15 to $20 each and we will advise on the spot if yours need replacing. We carry common sizes in the truck.
Can you install a touchless or filter faucet?
Yes. Touchless faucets require a battery pack or power supply under the sink — we connect the wiring and test the sensor before leaving. Filter faucets with an under-sink canister take slightly longer due to the extra supply line, but we install them on the same visit.
Do you remove and dispose of the old fixture?
We remove the old fixture as part of the swap and leave it bagged for your recycling or garbage pickup. If you want us to haul it away entirely, let us know when you book — we can usually accommodate it at no extra charge for small fixtures.
What is the difference between a one-hole and three-hole faucet?
A one-hole faucet has the spout and handles as a single unit that fits through one mounting hole. A three-hole faucet has a separate spout and two handles that each go through their own hole — typically 4 or 8 inches apart. Your sink's existing holes determine which faucet style you can install, so always check your sink configuration before purchasing.
