Faucet work sounds minor and often is not. A dripping kitchen faucet is usually a worn cartridge or a scored seat, but the same symptom at a bathtub can mean a failed tub-and-shower valve buried in a tiled wall, which is a different job entirely. We diagnose whether the fix is a cartridge, a seat and spring set, an aerator, a supply line, a shut-off valve, or a full valve body replacement — and we tell you which before we start, not after the tile is open.
Our faucet services cover leaky faucet repair and kitchen faucet repair, a bathtub faucet leaking at the spout or diverter, leaking tap repair on laundry and outdoor hose bibs, low-flow and sputtering faucets caused by sediment or failed cartridges, and new installations when you are upgrading a kitchen or bathroom. We stock parts for the common brands, so most single-fixture repairs are finished in one visit.
Most calls start with one of these symptoms. If any of them sound familiar, it is worth booking a look before the repair grows:
Two local factors drive faucet failure in Toronto. Water here is moderately hard, so mineral scale slowly builds on cartridges, aerators and seats — the reason a faucet that worked perfectly for years starts dripping and never stops. High static pressure in parts of the city adds to the wear. Outdoor taps face a third issue: hose bibs left connected through a Toronto winter freeze and split behind the wall, then leak the following spring on the first warm day. Frost-free replacements installed with a proper interior shut-off solve that permanently.

We inspect the system properly — camera, pressure test or moisture readings as the job requires — so the price reflects the real problem rather than a guess.
You approve the number before any work begins. No hourly creep, no surprise invoice.
Work is carried out by master-licensed plumbers to Ontario Building Code standard, using modern equipment and quality parts.
We test the repair, leave the space clean, and back the work with a written workmanship warranty.
We identify the faucet make and model, carry the common cartridges on the truck, and quote a written upfront price before we touch anything. Where a fixture is worn out or parts are discontinued we say so plainly rather than charging for a repair that will fail again. Andrew Bugiel's team is master-licensed, insured, WSIB covered and 15+ years into GTA service, and our faucet work is tested for leaks under full pressure and backed by a written workmanship warranty.
Plumbing problems rarely arrive alone. If this turns out to be part of a bigger picture, our team also handles kitchen sink leaking and other leak repairs, residential plumbing repair and toilet repairs across the same service area.
A single drip per second wastes thousands of litres a year, and on Toronto's combined water and wastewater billing the repair usually pays for itself well within a year.
Most quality faucets are repairable with a cartridge or seat kit. We only recommend replacement when parts are discontinued or the body itself is worn.
Yes, and we recommend a frost-free hose bib with an interior shut-off so it does not happen again.
