Faucet, toilet and leak repairs in Toronto and the GTA
Handyman on the Go fixes dripping faucets, running toilets and small leaks, and replaces existing faucets, toilets and fixtures like for like, in homes across Toronto and the GTA.
A faucet that drips or a toilet that keeps running wastes water and adds up on your bill. Most of these fixes are quick once the right part is on hand.
Replacements go in the same spot and connect to the existing supply and drain lines.
What’s included
Leaks
Drips under sinks, leaking supply lines, worn washers and cartridges, and loose drain connections found and fixed. Shut-off valves under sinks and toilets can be replaced when they no longer close fully.
Faucet repair and replacement
Kitchen and bathroom faucets repaired or replaced with a new faucet in the same place. Bring the faucet you have chosen, or send its model so it can be checked for fit.
Toilet repairs and replacement
Running toilets, weak flushes, loose seats and wobbling bowls repaired. A toilet can be replaced with a new one in the same spot, including a new wax ring and supply line.
Fixtures
Shower heads, handheld showers, sink drains and pop-ups, and bathroom accessories such as towel bars, replaced like for like.

How to prepare for the visit
- Find your home’s main water shut-off and check that the shut-off valves under the fixture turn.
- Clear out the cabinet under the sink so there is room to work.
- If you are replacing a fixture, have the new one on hand, or send its model number in your request.
- Note when the problem started and when it happens, for example only when the tap is fully on.
Questions about plumbing fixes
How can I tell if my toilet is leaking?
Put a few drops of food colouring in the tank and wait about 15 minutes without flushing. If colour appears in the bowl, the flapper is leaking and water is running through constantly.
What does like-for-like replacement mean?
It means a new faucet, toilet or fixture goes in the same spot and connects to the existing water supply and drain. Adding new lines or moving a fixture is work for a licensed plumber.
