What We Install
Most installation calls are one fixture in one visit. Bring your own fixture or have us source it — either way, the connections, valves and drain work are ours to get right.
Toilets & Bidets
Standard, comfort-height, dual-flush and one-piece toilets, plus bidet seats and attachments. We replace the wax ring or seal, the supply line and — if it's seized — the shut-off valve, then check the flange so the new toilet doesn't rock or leak at the base.
Kitchen & Bathroom Faucets
Single-handle, two-handle, pull-down, wall-mounted and touchless faucets for kitchens, vanities, laundry and bar sinks. Old, corroded shut-offs are the most common surprise — we tell you before we replace them, not after.
Sinks & Vanities
Drop-in, undermount and farmhouse kitchen sinks, and bathroom vanity sinks — including the trap, tailpiece and drain connection, so the new sink drains properly and doesn't gurgle.
Dishwashers & Fridge Water Lines
Water supply, shut-off valve and drain hookup for built-in dishwashers, with a high loop or air gap so dirty sink water can't siphon back into the machine. We also run refrigerator water lines for ice makers and water dispensers.
Laundry Hookups & Laundry Sinks
Washing machine supply valves and standpipe drains, utility and laundry sink installs, and burst-resistant braided supply hoses — the cheapest insurance against one of the most common basement floods.
Shower & Tub Valves
Replacement shower and tub valves, including pressure-balancing and thermostatic valves that stop the scald-then-freeze swing when someone flushes a toilet. We also install tub spouts, shower heads and hand showers.
Water Heaters
Tank and tankless water heater installation, with removal and disposal of the old unit. Compare options and sizing on our water heater service page.
Sump Pumps & Backwater Valves
New sump pits, pump replacements, battery backups and backwater valves — the work covered by Toronto's basement flooding subsidy. See our sump pump installation guide and backwater valve guide.
Shut-Off Valves & Outdoor Taps
Main water shut-off replacement, fixture shut-offs that actually close, and frost-free outdoor hose bibs that won't split in a Toronto January. Not sure where your main shut-off is? Here's how to find it.
Dishwasher, Fridge Water Line & Bidet Installation
These are three of the installs Toronto homeowners ask us about most, and each one has a step that is easy to get wrong.
Dishwasher installation
We connect the hot water supply through its own shut-off valve, connect the drain hose to the sink drain or garbage disposal with a high loop or air gap, then level the machine and fasten it to the counter so it does not tip when the door opens. If the new dishwasher needs a new outlet or circuit, that part is electrical work; tell us when you book and we will plan the job around it.
Fridge water line installation
For an ice maker or water dispenser, we tap a cold water line with a proper shut-off valve and run a new line to the fridge. We avoid self-piercing saddle valves, a common cause of slow leaks that damage the floor behind a fridge. The line is leak-tested before the fridge is pushed back, with enough slack left to pull it out for cleaning.
Bidet installation
Bidet seats and attachments connect to the toilet's cold supply with a T-valve, so the toilet and bidet share one shut-off. Electric seats with warm water or a dryer need a GFCI outlet within reach of the toilet; if there is none, an electrician adds it first. A stand-alone bidet fixture needs its own supply and drain, so it counts as new plumbing and usually needs a permit.
What Does Plumbing Installation Cost in Toronto?
These are the same ranges we publish in our Toronto plumber cost guide. Your written flat-rate quote is agreed before we start — the number on the quote is the number on the invoice.
| Installation | Typical Toronto price (installed) |
|---|---|
| Toilet replacement (remove old, new seal and supply line, install) | $350–$600 |
| Kitchen or bathroom faucet | $150–$350 |
| Seized or corroded shut-off valve replaced at the same visit | add $100–$200 |
| 40–50 gallon tank water heater (incl. removal of old unit) | $1,200–$2,200 |
| Tankless water heater | $2,500–$4,500 |
| Sump pump — new pit, basin, pump and discharge line | $1,200–$3,500 |
| Sump pump battery backup (added to an install) | $400–$800 |
| Backwater valve (before the City subsidy) | $1,500–$3,500 |
What moves the price: whether shut-off valves work, access (finished ceilings, tight vanities), old or non-standard pipe that needs adapting, and whether the job moves or adds a drain — which can also mean a permit. Dishwashers, sinks, laundry hookups and shower valves are quoted per job after a quick look or a photo.
What's Included in Every Installation
- Written flat-rate quote before any work starts
- Water shut off and drained down safely
- Old fixture removed and hauled away
- New supply lines; shut-off valves checked and replaced if they won't close
- Connections made to Ontario Building Code
- Full leak test with the water back on
- Work area cleaned up before we leave
Do You Need a Permit for Plumbing Installation in Toronto?
Usually no permit
- Replacing a toilet, faucet or sink in the same spot
- Swapping a fixture like-for-like with no new piping
- Replacing supply lines and shut-off valves
Usually needs a permit
- Adding a new bathroom, sink or drain
- Moving a fixture to a new location
- Changing drain or vent piping (for example, a wall-hung toilet)
- Installing a backwater valve — the City requires a building permit
The rule of thumb: if the pipes stay where they are, it's a replacement; if the pipes change, it's new plumbing. When a job needs a permit, we tell you in the quote and arrange it — so the work passes inspection and doesn't cause trouble when you sell or make an insurance claim.
Toronto Basement Flooding Subsidy: Up to $6,650
If you own a single-family home, duplex, triplex or fourplex in Toronto, the City's Basement Flooding Protection Subsidy Program pays up to 80% of the invoiced cost of flood-protection work completed on or after November 12, 2025:
- Backwater valve: up to $1,600 per device (up to two)
- Sump pump: up to $2,250, plus up to $300 for a battery backup
- Home plumbing assessment: up to $500
- Foundation drain severance and capping: up to $400
Apply within two years of the work being done. The City requires the work to be done by a licensed contractor holding a valid City of Toronto business licence, and a building permit for backwater valves — check both before you book with anyone. Full details are on the City of Toronto website.

Supplying Your Own Fixture?
That's fine — we're happy to install a fixture you've already bought. Three things save you a second visit: check the rough-in measurement before buying a toilet (most Toronto homes are 12 inches from the wall), buy a faucet that matches the number of holes in your sink or counter, and keep the receipt in case the fixture arrives damaged or with missing parts. If you'd rather we source it, we'll quote the fixture and installation together.
