Faucet and Plumbing Fixture Installation for Markham Homes

Faucet installation in Markham runs into two very different builds. The 1980s and 1990s houses in Milliken, Armadale and around Unionville were finished with cultured marble vanity tops where the bowl is moulded into the counter, and the taps sit on four-inch centres in a surface that does not forgive force.

The Cornell and Box Grove townhomes are newer and tighter, with galley kitchens and shallow cabinets. I replace faucets, shower heads, toilets, drains, supply lines and shut-off valves in both.

The cultured marble tops in Markham's 1980s and 1990s houses are the detail worth knowing about. Bowl and counter are one moulded piece, so a cracked deck means replacing the whole top, not a sink. The old centreset taps corrode onto it and the nuts have to be cut rather than turned. Those same houses have one-piece acrylic tub surrounds, where a shower arm has to come out without twisting the pipe behind it. In the Cornell townhomes the constraint is simply reach under a shallow galley cabinet.

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 Markham

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 Markham

My vanity top has the sink moulded into it. Can the taps still be changed?

Usually yes. The bowl and counter being one piece does not stop a tap swap, it just means the new faucet has to match the existing hole spacing, which on these Markham tops is almost always four inches. I cut the old nuts off instead of forcing them, since cultured marble chips easily. If the deck is already cracked, I will show you first.
