Bathroom Fixture Repair and Installation in Western Michigan

A dripping faucet wastes water and raises your water bill. A running toilet can add hundreds of gallons per day without you noticing. A corroded showerhead drops pressure and harbors mineral buildup. These are not emergency plumber calls. They are handyman jobs, and in western Michigan, we handle them at a fraction of what a full plumbing contractor charges.

Whether you need a quick repair or want to upgrade fixtures in an older bathroom, this is what we do across Grand Rapids, Muskegon, Holland, and the surrounding communities.

Bathroom Repairs We Handle

Faucet repair and replacement. Dripping faucets in bathroom sinks are usually a worn cartridge or O-ring. We diagnose, replace the worn part, and if the fixture itself is past its useful life, we install a new one. We work with any standard fixture brand available at local hardware stores.

Running toilet repair. A toilet that runs between flushes, or runs constantly, is typically a flapper or fill valve issue. Both are inexpensive parts and a quick fix. We also address toilets that rock, leak at the base, or have a weak flush due to mineral buildup.

Showerhead and tub spout replacement. Old showerheads reduce pressure and can harbor scale buildup from western Michigan's hard water. We swap them out and clean up the supply line connection while we are at it. Tub spouts, diverters, and hand sprayer installations fall in the same category.

Bathroom vanity installation. Replacing a vanity is one of the highest-return bathroom upgrades you can make. We handle the disconnection of the old unit, fitting and leveling the new vanity, reconnecting the plumbing, and installing a new faucet if needed. You supply the vanity; we handle the labor.

Toilet replacement. Old toilets, especially pre-1994 models, use significantly more water per flush than current standards. We remove the old unit, set the new toilet, replace the wax ring and supply line, and leave the bathroom clean.

Towel bars, grab bars, and accessory installation. We install towel bars, robe hooks, toilet paper holders, and grab bars. Grab bars in particular require solid blocking in the wall to be safe, not just a drywall anchor. We locate studs and block properly.

Caulk and grout repair. Cracked caulk at the tub surround is a water intrusion point. We remove old caulk completely, clean the surface, and apply new caulk with a clean finish. Grout repair on tile surrounds follows the same approach.

Why Not Just Call a Plumber?

Licensed plumbers are the right call for new pipe runs, sewer line work, water heater installs, and any job that requires pulling a permit. But for fixture-level work, where the pipes are already in place and you are just replacing what is at the end of them, a handyman with plumbing experience gets the job done at a lower rate.

In the Grand Rapids and western Michigan market, licensed plumbers typically bill 50 to 00 per hour. A faucet replacement that takes 45 minutes does not need to cost 00 in labor alone. We charge by the job, not the hour, and most bathroom fixture jobs in our service area run 00 to 50 depending on scope.

Service Area

We serve homeowners across western Michigan, including the Grand Rapids metro area (Grand Rapids, Wyoming, Kentwood, Grandville, Walker, and surrounding cities), Muskegon and Muskegon County, Holland and the Ottawa County lakeshore, and communities along the US-131 corridor including Big Rapids and Greenville.

For jobs that are clearly fixture-level and don't require permit work, we can usually schedule within a week. Call or fill out the form to describe what you need and we will confirm whether it is something we handle.
