A dripping tap is more than an annoying sound. One drip per second wastes about 11,000 litres of water a year, and a leak at the base of a faucet can quietly rot the cabinet below. POM Plumbing repairs, replaces and installs kitchen, bathroom, shower, tub, laundry and outdoor faucets across Toronto and the GTA, usually in a single visit, with the price confirmed before we start.
Our plumbers carry cartridges, stems, washers and O-rings for the most common brands, so most faucet repairs are finished on the spot. If your faucet is worn out, we can install a new one you have chosen or recommend a reliable model that fits your sink and budget.
Worn cartridges, washers, seats or O-rings, the most common cause of a constant drip.
Failed O-rings, loose mounting nuts or mineral build-up around the spout and deck.
Clogged aerators, scaled cartridges or kinked supply lines reducing flow at one tap.
Worn set screws, cartridges or stems that make the handle wobble or hard to turn.
Reversed lines, failed mixing cartridges or a shower valve that will not hold temperature.
Loose supply lines, cracked braided hoses, failing shut-off valves or pull-down hose leaks.
The repair depends on how your faucet works. Our plumbers identify the type and model before ordering any parts.
| Faucet type | How to recognise it | Usual repair |
|---|---|---|
| Compression | Two handles you tighten to close | New washers and seats |
| Cartridge | One or two handles, smooth action | Cartridge replacement |
| Ball | Single handle on a rounded cap | Ball, seals and springs kit |
| Ceramic disc | Single lever, wide cylinder body | Disc cartridge and seals |
| Touchless / sensor | Motion sensor, battery or plug-in | Sensor, solenoid or batteries |
When a faucet is corroded, cracked or keeps leaking after new parts, replacement is the better value. We handle faucet replacement and faucet installation for every room in the house.
Pull-down, pull-out, single-handle and bridge-style kitchen faucets, usually installed in about an hour with new supply lines and a leak test.
Single-hole, centerset and widespread faucets installed with new drain assemblies and shut-off valves where needed.
Pressure-balance and thermostatic cartridges, new trim kits and full valve upgrades when the old valve cannot be serviced.
Wall-mount and deck-mount tub fillers, spouts and diverters, so water stops running from the spout during a shower.
Frost-free hose bibs that drain themselves in winter, replacing old taps that freeze and split.
Touchless faucets, pot fillers, filtered water taps, bar faucets and laundry tub faucets.
Every job is quoted before work starts. Typical Toronto prices before tax:
| Service | Typical cost |
|---|---|
| Dripping faucet repair (washer, O-ring) | $150 – $250 |
| Cartridge or stem replacement | $180 – $350 |
| Shower valve cartridge | $220 – $400 |
| Install a customer-supplied faucet | $250 – $450 |
| Kitchen faucet replacement (we supply) | $450 – $900 |
| Frost-free outdoor faucet | $300 – $550 |
| Full shower valve replacement | $650 – $1,400 |
Most faucet repairs take 30 minutes to 2 hours. A kitchen faucet replacement usually takes about an hour, and a shower valve replacement 2 to 4 hours if the wall has to be opened. A good faucet lasts 10 to 20 years, depending on quality, hard water and how often it is used. Toronto’s moderately hard water wears cartridges faster, so a water softener can extend the life of every faucet in the house.

Repair is usually worth it for newer, good-quality faucets with a worn part. Replace the faucet if it is over 10 to 15 years old, corroded, leaks at the base after new seals or parts are no longer available.
A leak at the base usually comes from worn O-rings around the spout, a loose mounting nut or mineral build-up. In most cases the O-rings can be replaced without replacing the faucet.
About one hour for most kitchen faucets. Seized nuts, corroded shut-off valves or adding a filtered water tap can add time.
Yes. We install customer-supplied faucets and check that the model fits your sink, deck holes and water supply before we start.
A well-made faucet typically lasts 10 to 20 years. Cartridges and seals may need replacing sooner, especially with hard water.
If you can identify the faucet type and find the right parts, simple washer or O-ring repairs are often DIY. Cartridge faucets, shower valves and faucets with seized parts are best left to a plumber.
The usual causes are a clogged aerator, a scaled cartridge or a partly closed or kinked supply line under the sink.
Usually, yes. Most shower and tub faucet repairs are done through the trim opening. Opening the wall is only needed when the valve body has failed.
