    Approximate cost to move bathtub drain/plumbing?

    Because he wants an opportunity to get another "productive job"? I would actually have no problem paying one or two people to come give an estimate but I don't want to pay 6 people to give me an estimate. So that's why I'm trying to get an understanding of what's reasonable for a job like...

    Approximate cost to move bathtub drain/plumbing?

    Hello, hope some of the pros can give me an idea of what it should cost to move some plumbing. Right now we have a standard sized tub in our master bath. Where it sits there's room for a garden tub and my wife would like to get one. Before we get into all this I'm trying to approximate the...

    Leaking tub spout

    Hi, I'm installing a new spout in my tub/shower and the spout is leaking water along the wall. I tried putting some plumbers putty around the base and of course that's not stopping it. Any common reasons for it to leak? It's a Kohler Forte and I have a non-threaded copper pipe coming from the...

    Installing a new flange

    Installing a new flange

    Can you guys give me a ball park of what it would cost a plumber to do this? I'm sure it varies by region, but really just a ball park. We're already running over budget here. What would the alternative be?

    Installing a new flange

    I recently removed a 30 year old toilet and with it came the flange that was supposed to be bolted to the ground. I guess it rusted to the point of not being physically held down by anything. So that left me with this hole in the ground: It's a 4 in pipe installed in a slab foundation. I'm...

    What's the difference between these valves?

    Thanks for the help. I found the faucet she wanted online and I was trying to see how much it cost and the website forced me to pick one of those 4 valves before proceeding and I just didn't know which to pick. I poked around the forum a little and noticed that other people have the same...

    What's the difference between these valves?

    Hi guys, let me start by telling you that I know very little about plumbing. Changing shower heads and replacing toilets is the extent of my knowledge. I'll be having this done by a professional plumber, I just want to have everything we need onsite ahead of time. I'm updating a 25 year old...
