Service Overview
Plumbing Fixture Replacement With Clear Answers Before Work Begins
Toilets that run constantly, faucets that drip no matter how tight you turn them, corroded shut-offs under the sink, a showerhead that delivers a trickle — at some point, repair gives way to replacement. The fixture has simply reached the end of its useful life, and a new one will perform better, use less water, and save you from future service calls.
Lapin Services installs and replaces every type of residential and commercial plumbing fixture — toilets, faucets, sinks, showerheads, shut-off valves, garbage disposals, and more. Our licensed technicians connect everything to code, test each installation before they leave, and clean up completely. We've been doing this work across Central Florida since 1958, and our 4.9-star rating with over 1,000 reviews reflects the standard we hold ourselves to on every job.
Problems We Solve
Common Plumbing Fixture Replacement Problems We Fix
You do not have to diagnose the problem yourself. These are common issues we help confirm, explain, and repair.
Running Toilet That Won't Stop
An internal valve or flapper that no longer seals is the most common cause of a constantly running toilet. When the repair cost approaches the cost of a new unit, replacement is often the smarter choice.
Dripping Faucet After Repeated Repairs
If you've replaced washers and cartridges more than once and the faucet still drips, the valve seat or faucet body is worn beyond repair. A new fixture resolves the problem for good.
Corroded or Failing Shut-Off Valves
Shut-off valves under sinks and behind toilets can seize or fail over time — and discovering this during an emergency is the worst possible moment. Proactive replacement prevents a small job from becoming a flood.
Outdated Fixtures Wasting Water
Older toilets can use 3–5 gallons per flush compared to 1.28 for modern efficient models. Faucets and showerheads from before the 1990s similarly waste far more water than current WaterSense-rated alternatives.
Fixture Upgrade for Remodel
Replacing fixtures during a kitchen or bathroom remodel — or simply to refresh the look without a full renovation — is one of the most cost-effective ways to update a space.
When to Call
Signs Your Plumbing System Needs Professional Attention
If you notice any of these signs, call Lapin. We will find the cause and explain what needs to happen next.
Fixture Is More Than 20 Years Old
Faucets, toilets, and valves have a finite lifespan. A fixture that's two decades old is likely well past its prime and costing you in water waste and ongoing repairs.
Repeated Repairs on the Same Fixture
If you've called a plumber for the same toilet or faucet more than once in the past few years, the repair cycle is costing more than a replacement would. We'll give you an honest assessment.
Visible Rust, Cracks, or Porcelain Chips
Surface damage on a toilet or sink isn't just cosmetic — cracks can harbor bacteria and eventually cause leaks. Rust around a faucet base often means corrosion has reached internal components.
Staining You Can't Remove
Persistent mineral staining that no cleaner can touch is a sign of significant buildup in the fixture. In porcelain fixtures, it can also mean the surface coating has worn away.
Shut-Off Valve That Won't Turn
If the shut-off valves under your fixtures are frozen in place, they won't function in an emergency. Replacing them now — before you need them — is a low-cost way to protect your home.

FAQs
Plumbing Fixture Replacement FAQs
Can I supply my own fixture and have Lapin install it?
Yes — we install customer-supplied fixtures regularly. Just let us know what you have when you call so we can confirm it’s compatible with your existing supply and drain connections.
Do I need a permit to replace a toilet or faucet?
Standard like-for-like fixture replacements in the same location typically don’t require a permit. If we’re adding new supply lines or drain connections, a permit may be needed — we’ll advise you before we start.
How long does fixture replacement take?
Most single fixture replacements — a toilet, faucet, or showerhead — take between one and two hours. Replacing multiple fixtures in one visit is efficient and often saves on labor.
My toilet keeps running no matter what. Should I repair it or replace it?
If the toilet is more than 15 years old and has been repaired before, replacement is usually the better investment. A new toilet uses significantly less water per flush and comes with a manufacturer warranty.
Can you replace shut-off valves while you're replacing a fixture?
Absolutely — and we recommend it when the valves are old or stiff. Replacing them while we’re already accessing the supply line adds very little time and cost.
Do you install garbage disposals?
Yes — garbage disposal installation and replacement is one of our standard fixture services. We handle both the plumbing and electrical connections.
What brands or fixture types do you recommend?
We work with a range of quality brands and can make recommendations based on your budget and preferences. We’ll tell you honestly what we’ve seen hold up well in Central Florida’s water conditions.
Is fixture replacement covered by a warranty?
Our installation work is guaranteed. New fixtures also carry manufacturer warranties — we’ll make sure you have the documentation you need to register and use them.
