Faucet and Plumbing Fixture Installation for Scarborough Homes

Faucet installation in Scarborough is often part of a longer list. The bungalows and back-splits around Wexford, Bendale and Agincourt were built in the 1960s and 1970s, and the original taps, tub valves and pop-up drains tend to give out within a year or two of each other.

I replace kitchen and bathroom faucets, shower heads, toilets, drains, supply lines and shut-off valves. Several small jobs can be batched into a single visit, which suits owners with a tenant downstairs and two sets of fixtures to keep working.

Scarborough's 1960s and 1970s back-splits and bungalows nearly all came with a steel tub, a two-handle valve and a chrome escutcheon, and that trim is the fixture I get asked about most here. Swapping the visible trim and the spout is straightforward; anything behind the tile is a licensed plumber's work and I say so up front. The other Scarborough pattern is the second suite. Owners with a basement apartment want the upstairs and downstairs fixtures sorted in the same visit, so I quote the whole list.

How It Runs

From Message to Finished Job

1

Send a photo

A picture of the sink, the cabinet underneath and the existing shut-off valves tells me most of what I need. From that I can usually price the work before I arrive and bring the right parts and connectors with me.

2

Isolate and remove

Water is shut at the stops, the lines are drained into a tray, and the old fixture comes out. Seized nuts get cut off rather than forced, and the sink deck is scraped back to clean, dry material.

3

Fit and seal

The new fixture sits on its own gasket, the mounting hardware is tightened evenly so the base does not sit skewed, fresh supply lines are fitted, and the drain assembly is sealed with the right material for your sink.

4

Test and dry

Hot and cold run at full flow, the basin is filled and drained to load the trap, then every joint is dried and rechecked. The cabinet floor goes back dry so a future drip is easy to spot early.

What Affects the Price in Scarborough

Swapping a fixture on healthy shut-off valves in an open cabinet is quick work. Cost climbs when the stops are seized and have to be replaced, when corroded mounting nuts have to be cut off, when the cabinet is deep and cramped, or when a stone counter and an undermount sink make access awkward. Several fixtures done in the same visit cost less each than booking them separately. Fixtures can come from you or from me with receipts, and the price is settled before any tools come out.

Nothing starts before the price is agreed. Send a photo or two with your request and I can usually quote without a site visit.

Asked in Scarborough

I have a tenant downstairs. Can you do both units in one appointment?

Usually yes. Second suites are common in Scarborough and the fixtures in both kitchens and both bathrooms are often the same age. Give me the full list and I will quote it as one visit, then agree a time that works for your tenant. Booking it that way saves you a second callout and keeps the disruption to one afternoon.
