Clean installation of faucets, sinks, toilets, showerheads, tub spouts, and bidets — with new supply lines and shut-off stops, correct seals, and a leak test before we leave. Old fixture hauled away.
Fixture Installation is one part of our plumbing repair coverage in Maine. For the full picture — symptoms, costs, and when to repair vs. replace — start with the complete Plumbing Repair guide, or browse every plumbing repair service we offer.
A fixture install looks simple until a corroded shut-off won't close, the old supply lines crumble, or a big-box faucet arrives with the wrong connections for your rough-in. Doing it right means replacing the shut-off stops and supply lines while everything is open, seating the fixture on a fresh seal, setting it level and secure, and running water to confirm no drips at any connection before the cabinet or wall closes. We install faucets, sinks, toilets, showerheads, tub spouts, and bidets so the finished job looks clean and stays dry.
We bring the parts that turn a fixture swap into a one-trip job — new quarter-turn angle stops to replace seized multi-turn valves, braided stainless supply lines instead of the old rubber ones, fresh wax rings or waxless seals for toilets, and plumber's putty or silicone for sink and drain seats. On a faucet we check the aerator and flow, on a toilet we confirm the flush and the seal at the floor, and on a shower fixture we verify the valve and diverter. The old fixture goes with us and gets recycled.
Fixture installs are where an efficiency or accessibility upgrade pays off — a WaterSense faucet or a 1.28-gallon toilet cuts the Maine water bill, a pressure-balanced shower valve stops the scald when someone flushes, and a comfort-height toilet or a hand-held shower makes a bathroom easier to use. We size and confirm the fixture against your rough-in before the visit so odd hole spacing, older supply threads, or a tight vanity across Maine don't turn a same-day install into a callback.
A faucet green with corrosion or a toilet weeping at the floor is past sealing and due for replacement. Installing a new one is the cleaner economic call than chasing seals on a worn Maine fixture.
Remodeling or updating a room
New fixtures are the fastest visible upgrade in a kitchen or bath. We set them to code with fresh shut-offs and supply lines so the new look isn't hiding old failure points.
Upgrading to low-flow or efficient models
A WaterSense faucet, aerator, or 1.28-gallon toilet cuts water use noticeably in a Maine home. Correct installation is what makes the rated savings real.
Adding a fixture that wasn't there
A prep sink, a bidet, or a second-vanity faucet needs a new supply tap and sometimes a drain tie-in. We run it to code so the addition is permanent, not a patch.
Accessibility needs have changed
Comfort-height toilets, lever faucets, and hand-held showers make a bathroom usable for aging or mobility needs. Swapping the fixture is a small job with a large daily payoff across Maine.
Common causes & what we fix
Fixture at end of service life
Cartridges, seals, and finishes wear out, and a fixture that's been repaired repeatedly is cheaper to replace. It's the most common reason a Maine homeowner books an install.
Remodel or design change
A new vanity, counter, or tile job usually means new fixtures to match. We coordinate the install around the finish work so nothing gets scratched or leaks behind it.
Water-efficiency upgrade
Older faucets and toilets use two to three times the water of current models. Replacing them is a direct cut to the Maine water bill and a common upgrade trigger.
Damaged or cracked fixture
A cracked sink, a chipped toilet, or a snapped handle isn't worth repairing. Replacement restores function and rules out a slow leak from the damage across Maine.
Failed builder-grade hardware
Builder-grade faucets and fill valves fail early, and swapping to a quality fixture ends the cycle. It's a frequent upgrade in newer Maine homes a few years in.

Fixture Installation questions, answered
Top questions homeowners searching for Fixture Installation near me ask us:
Will you replace the shut-off valves too?
We recommend it and usually do — the old multi-turn stops seize and weep, and replacing them with quarter-turn valves while everything is open costs little and prevents the next leak. It's standard on our Maine installs.
How long does a fixture installation take?
A standard faucet, toilet, or showerhead swap runs 1–2 hours including new shut-offs, supply lines, and a leak test. Adding a fixture that needs a new supply or drain line takes longer across Maine.
Do you supply the fixture or do I?
Either works. Many Maine homeowners buy the fixture they like and we install it; we can also supply quality Kohler, Moen, or Delta models. If you buy it yourself, send us the model so we confirm it fits your rough-in before the visit.
Is the old fixture removed?
Yes — the old faucet, sink, toilet, or shower hardware is removed and recycled through metal and fixture channels. We don't leave the old unit behind after an Maine job.
Can you install a fixture with an odd rough-in?
Yes — nonstandard hole spacing, older supply threads, and tight cabinets are routine. We measure and confirm parts before coming to your Maine home, including ZIPs , so it stays a one-trip install.
