Faucet Repair & Replacement in Toronto & the GTA

A dripping tap wastes water quietly for months, then one day the handle stiffens, the drip becomes a stream, and the cabinet under the sink smells damp. Kitchen faucets go the same way: the pull-down sprayer loses pressure, the swivel gets sloppy, and the base starts leaving a puddle behind the sink. Leaky faucet calls are some of the most common jobs we do, and most of them are done in a single visit.

A proper faucet replacement starts under the sink, not above it. We check the shut-off valves actually shut off — in older Toronto houses they often don't — then disconnect the supply lines, break the old faucet's corroded mounting nuts free, clean the deck, and set the new faucet with fresh supply lines rather than reusing tired ones. For a dripping tap repair, the fix is usually a cartridge: we identify the brand, match the cartridge, and replace the worn seals while we're in there. Everything gets leak-tested under full pressure before we call it done.

For a free quote, send a photo of the faucet from above, one of the plumbing under the sink, and a note on how many holes the sink deck has (look for a base plate hiding extras). If you've already bought a replacement faucet, send the box shot too. That tells us the mounting style, the shut-off situation, and whether your new fixture actually fits your sink.

What affects the price

  • Shut-off valve condition — seized or weeping valves under the sink need replacing before a faucet swap can safely happen
  • Age of the old faucet — decades of corrosion on mounting nuts can double the removal time
  • Hole configuration — a single-hole faucet on a three-hole sink needs a deck plate; the reverse may not work at all
  • Access — garburators, drawers and deep cabinets make the under-sink work slower
  • Faucet quality — bargain fixtures with plastic internals take the same labour but fail sooner, so we'll flag them
  • Water supply type — rigid copper stubs versus flexible lines changes the connection work

Common questions

Do I need a licensed plumber to replace a faucet in Ontario?
Not for a straight swap. Under Ontario's rules, a like-for-like fixture replacement — new faucet where the old one was, connecting to existing supply lines — is minor work a handyman can do. The line is drawn at altering the plumbing itself: moving supply lines, changing drainage, or adding new rough-in. When a job crosses that line, we bring in a licensed plumber rather than doing it ourselves, and we'll tell you before work starts.
Can you just fix the drip instead of replacing the whole faucet?
Often, yes. Most drips come from a worn cartridge or seals, and a cartridge replacement costs far less than a new fixture. It depends on the faucet: good-brand faucets have cartridges available for decades, while no-name builder faucets often have no parts supply, making replacement the practical fix. Send a photo and we'll tell you which situation you're in.
Should I buy the faucet myself or do you supply it?
Either works. Plenty of customers pick their own so they get exactly the finish and style they want — just send us the model before buying and we'll confirm it fits your sink's hole layout. If you'd rather not shop, we'll supply a solid mid-range faucet with a proper parts supply behind it, not the cheapest thing on the shelf.
My shut-off valves under the sink won't turn. Is that a problem?
It's the most common complication in this job. Valves that haven't been touched in twenty years seize open or won't seal when closed, which means the water can't be isolated at the sink. We can replace those valves as part of the visit using the main house shut-off. It adds time, but working around a valve that half-closes is how floods happen.
The bathroom tap handle turns but water barely comes out. New faucet?
Check the aerator first — the little screen at the spout tip. In Toronto and most of the GTA, mineral scale clogs aerators long before faucets die. We clean or replace them as a matter of course. If flow is weak with the aerator off, then it's debris in the cartridge or a supply problem, which we diagnose on-site before recommending anything.
