Dane did an excellent job, not only replacing our kitchen faucet but also outlining other areas that need improvement. We are very pleased with the service and we will continue to work with High Mark for all our future needs. Tassos also did work in our kitchen, dealing with a clogged sink. He was efficient and again, we appreciated his professionalism. Great work all around!

Andrew did my annual furnace inspection. He knows where everything is. His visit was timely as a switch had to be replaced. He showed my why and where and did the work as he has all parts in his truck. He is professional, pleasant and a pleasure to have around. I will use him always.

I would highly recommend this company. Great customer service. Ayla who who took our call was friendly and helpful. Tassos who did the work on our heating system was very knowledgeable & detailed in the options that he presented to us. And again very friendly. As I have said in another google review customer service is something that is lacking in our society today. THANK YOU High Mark Plumbing & Heating

Had a leak on the shutoff value to the toilet water tank in the morning, and High Mark was able to answer the call and dispatch their technician in the afternoon on the same day.Their technician Ryan B was able to assess the issue, give me the solution, and the cost for the repair in a friendly and professional manner.Since it was a small job and he has all the materials needed, he was able to complete the fix in half an hour with no mess left behind.I’d recommend their service.

Of course it happened on a Sunday night. 8 yr old hot water tank had a leak in outgoing water line. We called the installer of the tank (who had rescued us 8 yrs prior,, also on a weekend), but said they were too busy and not for 2 days. They referred us to High Mark….came out first thing Monday morning, at 9 a.m., on time, as arranged. Dane was our technician. Very personable and professional. Took a look at the whole plumbing situation throughout the house to give us a snapshot of our probable needs. Really great info – we chose to go with the repair to the outgoing water line with poly B piping which had just given way due to wear over time. The repair was quick and efficient. Excellent workmanship. Dane left us with a couple of courses of action to take in the future, should we decide. We have discussed the poly B piping with our strata president as it is an issue already on the table for our complex. It was great to meet Dane, he was kind, inquisitive, knowledgeable – an asset to High Mark. Thank you for the excellent 5 star service – we recommend and won’t hesitate to contact High Mark in future.(a high mark for High Mark – lol – like you’ve never heard that before)…..p.s. Doug Philip, my hubby contacted and set up the service call….the comment in brackets is his.

Dane performed a thorough inspection of the visible pipes throughout our home and pointed out the areas of deficiency: old, worn PRV, lack of shut-off valves under sinks and an old PVC pipe supplying a toilet. I am very glad to be aware of these problems and asked Dane to replace the PVC pipe and install shut-off valves under our ground-floor bathroom sink. He also installed a new sink and tap under the aforementioned bathroom sink. I think he did a top-quality job, and he demonstrated a lot of care and skilled high-precision work. Dane also took care to clean the counter area around the new sink so that the whole countertop area showed a very tidy and elegant presentation. Thank you Dane, you did a super-awesome job in transforming our home to make it look more classy and beautiful and much less leaky – as the old tap dripped chronically and the old sink had a hole in it! Finally, Dane was very articulate in communicating his concerns about our plumbing situation.

Hi Ryan Wood.I called Highmark because I have furnished your offices with cubicles etc.I am writing to let you know how impressed we were with Service Tech Ryan E.He is soft spoken and knows how to work with his clients.He even went as far as explaining my wife as to what is happening and he will have it all fixed up as soon as the part arrives.After numerous phone calls looking to replace the defective part he found a temporary fix till the actual cartridge arrives from Grohe.I must commend Ayla and Ashley for taking my calls and having a laugh while on the phone.Having such pleasant staff members is what makes a great company.I am sure they love working for Highmark.We will not hesitate to refer Highmark to any of our associates.Best,Feroze Nanavaty

I wanted to give 5 Stars to High Mark for the service they provided. It starts with the excellent work from Kevin. He was in to do a service on our furnace and when checking the crawl space mentioned that there was some water there. He recommended having a plumber come out and look at the drain tile. Ryan E came to the house, checked under the house and came to the same conclusion as Kevin. He worked on the drain tile for almost a week and repaired it where necessary. Ryan was always professional in his conversations with us and sent us detailed pictures of what he was doing. This job required our deck to be taken apart and Bryan Reed contractor/handyman sent out someone to take apart and put the deck back together. Again we received outstanding service from this gentlemen and he mentioned to my husband that he had only been on the job for ten days. Thank you for everything. ***** stars.

I hope I can save someone time calling around and asking rates. I called 10 different HVAC companies in the surrey and Coquitlam area and these are on the lower end but the service was incredible. Kevin helped us and he was beyond respectful of my house, taking off his shoes, leaving no mess, and answering any questions I had with no condescending feeling. Kevin laid out all the options I had and was honest with what needed to be done and what was optional, while being respectful of budget limitations. We are going to be personally requesting Kevin for our yearly maintenance.

We had our water heater die on us and High Mark was the only service that was willing to see us on the same day.For two days, Kevin came down to fix the problem. Kevin is probably the friendliest and most professional invididual to work on the house. He provided options on how to fix the problem, and at no time did I feel pressured or upsold by him. He seemed to genuinely care and was all around, a nice dude.We were back up and running on a Friday, when other places wouldn’t even come in before Monday to do a check.If I have any home services that need to be done, I’m calling High Mark and I’m getting Kevin to come back!

Ryan E came in, figured out what was wrong immediately, and gave me two options to fix the problem. I had a non working sump pump and he suggested to try and fix the one year old machine instead of replacing since it should still be working and likely just clogged. He was absolutely right and fixed the problem for us within an hour. Very pleased and happy it’s all good again. Thanks again Ryan!

My concerns for pride in workmanship is telling and is important to me. I hired Highmark Plumbing and Heating upon a recommendation from a friend when she hired this company to re plumb her house because of her leaking pipes in the crawl space. Their response was quick. Dane attended my house at 8:00 AM to give me options on what I should do and estimate costs – no pressure. Dane started right then and each day of the repair he arrived on time and worked straight through every day – all day without a break. He answered my questions and explained various things to me in a language I understood. I found Dane to be very punctual, polite, very easily to talk with and relate to, was patient – especially to a senior that wanted to chat. I could see that Dane took pride in his workmanship and I have no fears in referring others to or hiring this company in the future with an employee such as Dane.Linda NakonechnyMaple Ridge, BC (2023)

Bathtub Services – Repairs and Installation in Vancouver

Are you frustrated with persistent issues in your problematic bathtub? If you’re looking forward to a relaxing bath, the last thing desired is a malfunctioning tub. Whether it’s repairing leaky faucets to installing a brand-new tub, High Mark Plumbing is here to offer you superior bathtub services for all installation, repairs, and replacements.

bathtub services

Common Bathtub Problems Experienced by Homeowners

Bathtub problems can disrupt your daily routine and cause frustration. From leaks to screaming faucets, High Mark’s service experts are ready to tackle your bathtub repairs. Transform your bathing experience by scheduling your service.

Bathtub Drain Clogs

Dealing with a clogged bathtub drain can be a nightmare for homeowners. At High Mark, we recognize that concerns such as slow drainage, standing water, unpleasant odours, and sewage backup can feel like pressing emergencies. Our service experts are here for you 24/7 to offer emergency plumbing all year round.

 

No matter how clogged your bathtub may be, our specialized equipment will help your drains flow free again. Prevent further damage in your home by scheduling your drain cleaning service with us.

Leaky Bathtub Faucets

One frequent reason for bathtub repair calls is leaky faucets. This problem is not only bothersome but can also increase your water bills. Additionally, it may lead to extensive water damage to your property or the floor below.

 

Our service experts will repair or replace faulty fixtures, ensuring efficient performance. Whether it’s changing worn-out washers, O-rings, or cartridges, we will swiftly restore your bathtub faucet to working condition.

Water Leaking from Under the Bathtub

At High Mark Plumbing, we receive various urgent requests from customers, including problems like water leaking from under the tub. In such plumbing emergencies, we suggest you contact us right away.

 

When you ignore leaks, they can cause significant damage to your property and the floor beneath. This can lead to mildew, mould, and structural damage. Our service experts will efficiently detect and address the source of the leak, whether it’s a damaged seal, cracked pipe, or faulty components. Avoid letting water damage escalate beyond control!

Overflow Pipe Problems

Typically, you can find the overflow pipe right behind the bathtub rim on the wall side of the tub. It stops water from overflowing if your drain gets clogged or when water runs over the tub’s capacity. Faulty or worn-out components in your overflow pipes can lead to emergency plumbing situations. To avoid such emergencies, schedule your plumbing repair for effective solutions.

Low Water Pressure in Your Bathtub

Are you frustrated by poor water flow diminishing your bathing experience? When there’s low water pressure, you may find your bath filling at a slow pace. Our service experts will handle your repairs, whether they involve blocked pipes or pressure regulator issues. We’ll provide you with options and up-front pricing to restore proper flow in your bathtub.

Grout of Tile Concerns

If you notice damaged grout or loose tiles around your bathtub, it can result in water seeping behind the wall, leading to damage and mould growth. Our service experts at High Mark and High Mark One Call offer various services such as replacing pipes and re-titling to fix these problems.

Bathtub Replacement Options

Many homeowners tend to opt for a simple design for basic functionality. If you’re looking to enhance your bathroom with a spa-like feel or have your tub be a statement piece, other options may catch your interest. In addition, we suggest to pay attention to the lifespan of a bathtub for future reference.

Common Bathtub Materials

Whether simple or luxurious, bathtubs are typically made from one of the five common materials: acrylic, fibreglass, porcelain-enamelled steel, cast iron, or solid surface.

Acrylic Bathtubs

Acrylic bathtubs are one of the most common choices for homeowners. Many homeowners choose this material because they are lightweight, durable, and retains heat well. With this type of tub, homeowners can take warm baths for a longer duration of time. In addition, they are also among the more cost-effective choices available.

 

  • Design Options: There is a wide range of designs from shapes, sizes, and colours. In addition, homeowners have the option to choose a shower-bath combination.

 

  • Lifespan: When well-maintained, homeowners have had their acrylic tubs for up to 10 to 15 years.

Fibreglass Bathtubs

Another popular material is fibreglass bathtubs. Although it sounds luxurious, they are a budget-friendly option and lightweight which makes it easy to install. Homeowners find fibreglass tubs are easy to maintain and have great insulation for long warm baths.

 

  • Design Options: Homeowners can choose from a variety of shapes and sizes. While colour choices may be limited, you can refinish them to change their appearance. Also, you have the option of a shower-bath combination.

  • Lifespan: Well-maintained fibreglass tubs tend to last as long as 10 to 15 years.

Porcelain-Enamel Steel Bathtubs

This type of tub is well-known for its durability and resistance against chipping and staining. Because of the combination of materials, homeowners find heat retention is excellent. 

 

  • Design Options: Traditional shapes and neutral tones like white or off-white are available. For those seeking simplicity and modesty, porcelain-enamel steel tubs are an excellent choice. Options include standard alcoves and free-standing designs, among others.

  • Lifespan: Depending on usage and maintenance practices, well-maintained porcelain-enamel steel tubs are known to last as long as 20 years.
bathtub services

Cast Iron Bathtubs

If you have the budget to invest in your bathtub replacement, cast iron bathtubs will offer you several benefits. The durability and heat retention are unmatched because cast iron tubs are made from iron that has been melted and poured into a mold, then coated with porcelain enamel. This composition also helps the tub to be scratch and chip-resistant.

 

  • Design Options: There are alcove, petite freestanding, and freestanding options. Freestanding cast iron tubs can weigh up to 500 pounds. Because of the heavyweight, knowing the floor capacity is crucial to ensure your floor can withstand the tub.

     

  • Lifespan: Cast iron tubs are well-known to have the longest lifespan of 50 to 70 years, depending on maintenance and usage.

Solid Surface Bathtubs

For homeowners looking to invest in an aesthetically pleasing and durable tub, solid surface bathtubs are a fantastic choice! With superior quality and a modern look, you will find your tub to become a stunning statement piece in your bathroom. In addition, this non-porous material made up of crushed stone and resin, will offer stain resistance and longevity.

 

  • Design Options: Homeowners have many designs to choose from, with various shapes and colours to match the look and feel of their bathroom. If you have the budget to make your bathtub a focal point, solid surface bathtubs are a fantastic choice.

  • Lifespan: With proper maintenance and care, solid surface tubs can last many decades. With this type, it has been difficult to determine the average lifespan.

Best Bathtub Maintenance Tips to Extend Longevity

The lifespan of your bathtub can vary based on its material, care, and usage. Typically, a bathtub lasts for 10 to 15 years or even more. Here are some maintenance tips to help keep your bathtub in excellent condition and prolong its lifespan.  You may also find fewer bathtub services scheduled in the long run.

Maintain Your Bathtub with a Regular Cleaning Routine

Cleaning and maintaining your bathtub is crucial for its longevity and performance. Using non-abrasive cleaning products and avoiding harsh chemicals for your bathtub cleaning routine, will positively impact the lifespan. 

 

  • Prevent soap scum, mineral deposits, and grime buildup
  • Use soft cloths and avoid harsh chemicals
  • Use a drain cover to avoid hair and foreign objects from going down the drain

Occasional Checks for Leaks

During your bathroom cleaning routine, it’s a great idea to check for leaks, cracks, and drainage problems. Staying vigilant of bathtub repairs and drain cleaning will minimize potential water damage and early tub replacement. Some areas to check include:

 

  • Bathtub faucet: Dripping, stains, loose components, and water pressure
  • Bathtub drainage: Slow draining bathtub, standing water, and unusual odours.
  • Caulking and seals: Check around the edges and seams for cracks, gaps, or wear-and-tear to prevent leaks and water damage.

By addressing bathtub repairs promptly, you may find extended longevity of your tub. High Mark’s service experts are here to tackle all your bathtub repairs, replacements, and installations.

Frequently Asked Questions – Bathtub Services: Repairs and Installation

In most cases, leaking bathtub faucets occur from worn-out washers, cartridges, or O-rings. 

 

We highly recommend that you contact our service experts to repair it rather than taking it upon yourself as a DIY project. Incorrectly replacing bathtub components can cause extensive damage to your home.

Whether you’re ready for a bathtub upgrade or your tub is beyond repair, there are some key considerations for your next investment:

  • Space: Measure the exact location where the tub will go. This will help narrow down your choices.

     

  • Tub Height and Depth: Calculating the height and depth of the tub based on where you plan to install it will make your decision smoother and narrow down your choices.

     

  • Floor Load Capacity: Some baths such as cast iron are incredibly heavy. Whereas, acrylic tubs are lighter and ideal for low-floor load bathrooms.

     

  • Longevity: Cast iron bathtubs are known to last as long as 50 years or more, while acrylic tubs last up to 10 to 15 years. A bathtub’s lifespan depends on the material, how you use and maintain it, and the quality of its installation.

     

  • Budget: Consider that the cost of repairing, replacing, or installing your bathtub is an investment for many years to come. The expense should reflect the long-term use you’ll get from it.

     

  • Accessibility: We are also able to assist with adding handrails and specialized tubs for convenience.

Unfortunately, our service experts are unable to repair bathtub cracks. However, if you find cracks in your tiles, grout, drain flange, or pipes – Our service experts are here to offer you solutions!

In most cases, homeowners may not know the exact year their existing bathtub was installed. By scheduling your Whole Home Plumbing Inspection, our service experts may be able to address bathtub concerns and whether it’s time for a replacement. Some warning signs for a replacement include:

  • Frequent repairs
  • Extensive damage or safety concerns
  • In need of accessibility features for persons with disabilities or elderly
  • Looking to upgrade the look and features

The duration of bathtub replacements varies based on the tasks required and their complexity. 

Our service experts may need anywhere from a full day to a few days to complete the process. This involves disconnecting your old bathtub, removing and disposing of it, replacing the faucet, caulking seams, and potentially repiping if needed.

If you have any further questions or need more information about our bathtub services, please feel free to contact us. We are committed to ensuring you have all the details you need and are completely confident in your decision.

Dane did an excellent job, not only replacing our kitchen faucet but also outlining other areas that need improvement. We are very pleased with the service and we will continue to work with High Mark for all our future needs. Tassos also did work in our kitchen, dealing with a clogged sink. He was efficient and again, we appreciated his professionalism. Great work all around!

Dane and Brandon were very professional, knowledgeable and efficient. They took the time to answer my questions and were thorough with the inspection of all my plumbing. Even discovering mistakes that someone else had left behind and repairing it in the same day. Thank you!

Andrew did my annual furnace inspection. He knows where everything is. His visit was timely as a switch had to be replaced. He showed my why and where and did the work as he has all parts in his truck. He is professional, pleasant and a pleasure to have around. I will use him always.

I would highly recommend this company. Great customer service. Ayla who who took our call was friendly and helpful. Tassos who did the work on our heating system was very knowledgeable & detailed in the options that he presented to us. And again very friendly. As I have said in another google review customer service is something that is lacking in our society today. THANK YOU High Mark Plumbing & Heating

Excellent service. Our technician, Ryan, let us know in advance when he would be arriving, explained the costs associated with the installation, was super friendly and was very professional doing the installation. Before he left, he also explained exactly what he had done and showed us how to work the dishwasher.

Had a leak on the shutoff value to the toilet water tank in the morning, and High Mark was able to answer the call and dispatch their technician in the afternoon on the same day.Their technician Ryan B was able to assess the issue, give me the solution, and the cost for the repair in a friendly and professional manner.Since it was a small job and he has all the materials needed, he was able to complete the fix in half an hour with no mess left behind.I’d recommend their service.

Of course it happened on a Sunday night. 8 yr old hot water tank had a leak in outgoing water line. We called the installer of the tank (who had rescued us 8 yrs prior,, also on a weekend), but said they were too busy and not for 2 days. They referred us to High Mark….came out first thing Monday morning, at 9 a.m., on time, as arranged. Dane was our technician. Very personable and professional. Took a look at the whole plumbing situation throughout the house to give us a snapshot of our probable needs. Really great info – we chose to go with the repair to the outgoing water line with poly B piping which had just given way due to wear over time. The repair was quick and efficient. Excellent workmanship. Dane left us with a couple of courses of action to take in the future, should we decide. We have discussed the poly B piping with our strata president as it is an issue already on the table for our complex. It was great to meet Dane, he was kind, inquisitive, knowledgeable – an asset to High Mark. Thank you for the excellent 5 star service – we recommend and won’t hesitate to contact High Mark in future.(a high mark for High Mark – lol – like you’ve never heard that before)…..p.s. Doug Philip, my hubby contacted and set up the service call….the comment in brackets is his.
