Single faucet replacement
How much does it cost to replace a bathtub faucet in Abbotsford?

A homeowner in an Abbotsford condo needed to fix a leaking bathtub faucet at the shower diverter. They decided to replace the entire wall-mounted two-handle assembly.

RenoFiz scoped the full job, estimated $950–$1,500 CAD, and identified possible additions for damaged in-wall plumbing ($1,200–$1,800) or a building-wide water shutoff issue ($325–$525).
