The bathroom is where a lot of plumbing problems show up first, and where a small issue can turn into a big one fast. A running toilet, a slow drain, a leaky shower valve behind the wall; these things nag at you and add up on your water bill. FoCo Plumbing, powered by Top Notch Plumbing, handles the full range of bathroom plumbing across Northern Colorado, from quick fixes to full remodels.
Repairs and Replacements
Most of what we do in bathrooms is repair and replacement. Toilets that won't stop running or won't flush right, faucets that drip no matter how hard you crank them, shower valves that mix hot and cold poorly, and drains that back up. We track down the actual cause instead of slapping a patch on it. A toilet that keeps running, for example, is usually a worn flapper or fill valve, and we replace the right part so it stays fixed.
When a fixture is past its life, we swap it out cleanly. New toilets, sinks, faucets, shower and tub valves, and supply lines. We make sure everything seats right and seals tight, because a bad install is just a future leak waiting to happen.
Slow drains are another regular. In a bathroom, a sluggish sink or tub is usually hair, soap scum, and mineral buildup collecting in the trap and the line. We clear it properly instead of relying on caustic chemicals that eat at your pipes over time. Hard water is a fact of life across Northern Colorado, and it speeds up the buildup that clogs bathroom drains, so a real cleaning goes further than a quick pour of drain cleaner.
Leaks and Water Damage
Hidden leaks under a bathroom sink or behind a shower wall can rot subfloor and feed mold before you ever see a drop. If you notice a musty smell, soft flooring, or staining on a ceiling below the bathroom, that's worth a look. We find the source and repair it properly, including the supply and drain lines that run through walls and floors.
A wax ring failure under a toilet is a classic hidden leak. Water seeps out at the base every time the toilet flushes, works into the flooring, and shows up as a soft or discolored spot around the toilet or a stain on the ceiling below. Left alone, it turns into a subfloor replacement. Caught early, it's a straightforward reseat. That's why noticing the small signs pays off.
Remodels and New Fixtures
Planning a bathroom remodel? The plumbing is the part you don't want to shortcut. Moving a toilet, adding a second sink, upgrading to a walk-in shower, or converting a tub all take proper rough-in work. Our licensed master plumbers handle the behind-the-wall side so your finished bathroom works as good as it looks, for years.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my toilet keep running?
A toilet that runs constantly is usually a worn flapper, a bad fill valve, or a float set too high. It's a small part but it wastes a surprising amount of water. We can diagnose it and replace the failing component so the tank seals and refills correctly.
How do I know if I have a hidden bathroom leak?
Watch for musty odors, soft or discolored flooring, peeling paint, or a spike in your water bill with no clear reason. Staining on the ceiling below a bathroom is another sign. If you notice any of these, shut off the water to that fixture if you can and call us to find the source.
Can you replace fixtures I bought myself?
Yes. If you've picked out a toilet, faucet, or shower valve, we can install it. We'll let you know if anything about the fixture or the existing rough-in needs attention before we put it in, so there are no surprises.
Do I need a plumber for a bathroom remodel?
For anything that moves or adds plumbing, yes. Relocating a toilet, adding a sink, or reconfiguring a shower all involve supply and drain lines that have to be done to code. Getting the rough-in right is what keeps a remodel from becoming a repair down the road.
