"Very dissatisfied. They tried to take advantage of an 80+ yo by not even completing a repair, produced a false image of a faulty (12 year old) heat exchanger at $99 wanting me to buy a new furnace. Thanks to website weeks of research and using my wood stove, info I was able to clean the condenser trap in 10 minutes and the furnace has been working for weeks, now."

"We needed to have the faucet/handles replaced on the sink in our master bathroom. Dave got the job done quickly and efficiently, and cleaned up after his work. He went above and beyond by "fixing" some of the repairs done by a previous homeowner that were not done correctly -- all at a very fair price. I would definitely hire Dave again in the future. "

Zimax is a small family owned and operated Company with over 50 years of collective experience, offering superior craftsmanship and outstanding customer service. This is reflected in the "Ratings and Reviews" section on this website which we encourage every potential customer to read. Our goal is not to be the biggest in our industry, but to be the best which is accomplished by exceeding our customer's expectations with quality and service. The majority of our business is generated from repeat customers, as we focus on building relationships with each individual person. If you are looking for a safe, family friendly, dependable company which is built on hard work and integrity, we would welcome the opportunity to speak to you regarding your current project.

As well, Zimax does charge for estimates as there is value in the service and knowledge of each one of our Team member's time.

"I needed a soffit repair. Access wasn’t easy as it was fairly high on sloped ground. One roof company offered to do it only if I pail $5000 to also paint all my trim. Another large company would only do it if I also replaced all my gutters. Their estimate was $10,000. Zimax came out, gave me a quote to fix the soffit and we scheduled. Communication with Zimax was excellent. The work was done ahead of schedule. I couldn’t be happier and more appreciative. "

"We had Remark Construction finish our basement recently, and honestly, the whole experience was fantastic. From day one, they were super professional, easy to talk to, and really respectful of our home and time. At the start of the project, we worked directly with Chris, the owner, and he was great—quick to respond, gave us a fair price, and explained everything clearly. He laid out the process in a way that made sense and didn’t drag things out. We always knew what to expect, and he gave us a few pricing options so my husband and I could make the best decision for us. When it came time to sign the contract, Chris and Jesse sat down with us and walked through every detail. They were so easy to work with and made sure we were all aligned before moving forward. The selection process was super smooth—the whole team helped guide us through it, and they made it easy for us to make choices without feeling overwhelmed. Once things got rolling, the project moved fast. Our site manager, Brandon, was amazing. He gave us true white glove service—always professional, incredibly detail-oriented, and consistently went above and beyond. He kept us updated daily and weekly, made sure we understood what was happening, and double-checked every decision before moving forward. He was also incredibly respectful of our home. Even though it was a construction zone, we were genuinely amazed at how clean and well-kept everything was every single day. It made a huge difference and showed how much care he put into the project. Before wrapping up, he made sure every last detail was perfect before asking for our final review, and handled anything we asked for. We’re beyond happy with how everything turned out. Remark Construction made the whole process smooth and stress-free. Highly recommend!"

"I typically do not leave reviews, but my experience with Tom Drexler Plumbing was so poor that I feel compelled to share it in hopes of preventing others from wasting their time and money. I initially contacted the company to address a leaking faucet in a spare bathroom. I was given a vague appointment window of 8 AM to 5 PM and informed that if I didn’t answer a call prior to their arrival, the technician would not show up. When the technician arrived, he spent time criticizing the company’s hiring practices rather than focusing on the repair. He determined that a full tub and shower replacement was needed, quoting over $1,000. The work could not be done the same day, requiring me to schedule another appointment. The technician arrived late and took the entire day to complete the job, spending a significant portion of time sitting on my staircase visibly exhausted. The installation was subpar—both the faucet and showerhead were protruding nearly two inches from the wall, and the showerhead was visibly crooked. The faucet and showerhead were protruding so far out they couldn't even be caulked. My wife documented the issues with photos. She sent them to me after the tech left. I immediately called Tom Drexler, informed them of the subpar work, and requested a different technician to correct the poor workmanship. A new technician arrived the following week and made the necessary adjustments. However, within four days of using the shower, a leak developed in the ceiling of the kitchen below, and our toilet began leaking from the base when flushed—suggesting possible plumbing pressure or blockage issues. I contacted the company again and scheduled yet another appointment. Despite being given the same 8 AM to 5 PM time frame, no one showed up, and I had to follow up myself to learn the technician wasn’t coming. Eventually, another technician did visit and claimed the ceiling leak was due to "residual water" and dismissed the toilet issue. When the ceiling stain continued to grow, I called again and requested a supervisor. The supervisor came a week later, concluded that the issue wasn’t related to their work, and left without offering any solutions. Altogether, I had to take four days off work to accommodate this series of visits. I now need to hire another plumber from a different company to resolve the ongoing leak. Based on my experience, I cannot in good conscience recommend Tom Drexler Plumbing. The quality of work, communication, and overall customer service were consistently poor throughout the entire process."

FAQs for faucets, fixtures and pipes repair or replace projects in Batavia, OH

A bathtub faucet generally lasts 15 to 20 years, but this can depend on the type of finish and the overall quality of the faucet. Investing in higher-quality faucets often pays off with a longer-lasting product. Additional factors such as hard water, rust, or damage during use can shorten the life span of the faucet.

It's worthwhile to invest in the cost of repairing a leaky faucet if it's newer, but it's advisable to replace it if it's over 20 years old. The severity of the leak also plays a big role. Faucets with major leaks are often not worth the money or hassle of attempting repairs. Generally, a new faucet that leaks probably just needs a part tightened, but for an older faucet, it's a sign that it's time to replace it. Other signs you need to replace the faucet include rust, mineral deposits, or old age.

It usually takes a pro no more than an hour to replace a faucet. However, certain installations are more complex and time-consuming, such as pulling out the plumbing or putting in a showerhead. These types of jobs may take a few hours or even the better part of a day.

There are a few telltale signs that a tub cartridge needs replacing. These include:

  • Dripping water from the faucet

  • Difficulty turning faucet handles

  • Difficulty or inability to adjust water temperatures

  • Hot water coming out of cold-water faucets and vice versa

  • Inadequate heating of water

Yes, you can change a bathtub faucet without turning the water off, but only if you’re changing the faucet spout alone. If you’re changing the entire valve assembly, then the water must get shut off first. If there’s an individual shutoff valve for the bathtub, you can change the faucet without shutting off the entire water main line.
