Quick answer
For toilet, faucet, shower or sink repair and installation in Kelowna, call Anderson Plumbing and Gas Fitting at (250) 859-3548. We repair the worn part or install new fixtures, including ones you've already bought, with the price agreed before work starts.
Most fixture problems are small parts doing a lot of damage over time. A running toilet wastes water around the clock, a slow drip under a vanity rots the cabinet floor, and a shower valve that won't shut off fully keeps leaking inside the wall. We find the part that has failed, whether that's a fill valve, flapper, cartridge, flange seal or supply line, and replace it.
For new fixtures we can supply and install, or install ones you've already bought. Toilets go in with a new flange seal, a checked supply line and shut-off, and a flush test. Faucets and sinks are connected and checked for leaks under the sink. Showers get a clean rough-in and are tested for leaks before the job is called done.
The small jobs around the house are part of it too: the dishwasher hookup, an outdoor hose bib that split over the winter, a shut-off valve that has seized, or a pressure-reducing valve that has stopped holding.
Services covered
Toilet repair and installation
Running, leaking or loose toilets repaired, with the flange and floor checked when a toilet leaks at the base. New toilets set level with a new flange seal and flush-tested.
Faucet repair and sink installation
Dripping, low-pressure or hard-to-turn faucets repaired by replacing the worn cartridge, washer, O-ring or seal. New kitchen, bathroom and laundry faucets and sinks connected and tested.
Shower repair and installation
Leaking valves, low pressure, temperature swings or a shower that won't shut off fully. New shower installs and valve replacements: rough-in, a pressure-balancing or thermostatic valve, drain and trim.
Dishwasher installation and fridge lines
Dishwasher supply and drain connections for new appliances, replacements and kitchen renos, and water lines to fridges and ice makers.
Shut-off and pressure reducing valve replacement
Seized shut-off valves, failing pressure-reducing valves and split outdoor hose bibs replaced, so you can shut the water off when you need to.

Questions, answered
Why is my water pressure low?
If it is one faucet or shower, it is usually a clogged aerator or shower head, or a worn cartridge. If it is the whole house, the common causes are a failing pressure-reducing valve, a main shut-off that is partly closed, or old pipe narrowed inside by corrosion. If your neighbours have low pressure too, call your water supplier first. Otherwise we test the pressure and find the cause.
Can you install a toilet or faucet I already bought?
Yes. We install fixtures you've chosen, or supply them for you. We'll tell you up front if anything about the one you bought won't suit your plumbing.
Why does my toilet keep running?
Usually a worn flapper or a fill valve that is not shutting off, sometimes a chain or float set wrong. It is a quick repair, and worth doing soon, because a running toilet wastes water around the clock.
My shower goes cold when someone flushes. Can that be fixed?
Often, yes. Temperature swings usually come down to the shower valve. A pressure-balancing valve keeps the temperature steady when pressure changes elsewhere in the house. We can check yours and replace it if needed.
Do you replace shut-off and pressure-reducing valves?
Yes. A seized shut-off is a problem the day you need it, so it is worth replacing before then. If your water pressure seems high, banging pipes or a dripping relief valve on the water heater, we test it and replace a failing pressure-reducing valve.
How are fixture jobs priced?
It depends on the fixture, whether we supply it or you do, and what we find when we get to it, like a seized shut-off that has to be replaced first. You get the price before any work starts.
Do I need a pressure-reducing valve?
Yes, if the incoming water pressure can go above 550 kPa (80 psi); the BC Plumbing Code requires one. Banging pipes, a dripping water heater relief valve, and taps or toilet valves wearing out early are signs the pressure is too high or the PRV is failing. We test it and replace the valve if worn.
