Before you sign

What to ask a Melbourne contractor first

  1. 01

    Which valve type is fitted — cartridge, ball, ceramic disc or compression — and are matching parts still made for that model?

  2. 02

    Is rebuilding the existing faucet sensible, or has the body and finish deteriorated enough that a replacement lasts longer?

  3. 03

    Will the shut-off valves under the cabinet be tested first, because seized stops often force extra work before any repair?

Before anyone touches a pipe

Verify the licence. It takes two minutes.

  • Who licenses the work: Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR), Construction Industry Licensing Board (CILB) together with the local jurisdiction.
  • Who pulls the permit: the licensed contractor, never the homeowner.
  • What to ask for: the licence number, the registered name behind it, and an insurance certificate issued to the property address.

Answers first

Faucet & Sink in Melbourne — common questions

Is a dripping faucet actually worth fixing?

Yes — a steady drip wastes a meaningful volume over a year, and the same worn seat that drips is usually also scoring the valve body. Catching it early keeps it a cartridge replacement instead of a fixture replacement.

Why is water pressure low at only one faucet?

A single fixture usually means a clogged aerator or a partially closed or failing angle stop, not a house-wide pressure problem. Aerator cleaning is the first thing to rule out.

Can I supply my own faucet?

Many contractors will install an owner-supplied fixture but will not warrant the fixture itself. Ask how it affects the labour warranty before buying.

Do I need a permit for plumbing work in Melbourne?

Permit requirements around Melbourne are set locally rather than statewide. As a rule, water heater replacement, gas work, sewer laterals and repiping are permitted work, while a like-for-like faucet or disposal swap usually is not. A licensed contractor pulls the permit — if one offers to skip it, that is the signal to stop.

How should a faucet & sink quote be compared?

Line by line against scope: what is included, what is excluded, who pulls the permit, and whether haul-away and restoration are inside the number. The cost guides on this site list published third-party ranges so any quote can be sanity-checked.

Who handles the permit for faucet & sink in Florida?

The licensed contractor pulls the permit — never the homeowner. If a contractor proposes skipping a required permit, treat that as the signal to stop and verify the licence.

What warranty applies to the work?

Whatever the contractor offers in writing — PlumberFlorida is not a party to the agreement. Ask for labour and parts warranty terms in the quote, and keep the licence number with the paperwork.

How does the callback request work?

The 30-second form asks for a name, ZIP and the number to reach you on. The request routes to an independent licensed professional covering that area, and they call you back. Consent for marketing contact is optional — the request goes through with or without it.
