Small kitchen and bath repairs
Recaulking a tub, swapping a vanity faucet, fixing a hinge, or resetting a toilet supply line can be one visit. New tile, a moved drain, cabinet refacing, or a shower rebuild is a remodel.
We connect Nashville homeowners with independent, vetted local pros.
Typical estimates
| Job | Typical estimate | What the range assumes |
|---|---|---|
| Caulk, hardware, one minor fixture | $200–$600 | Combined small repairs, not a remodel allowance. |
| Vanity or tile replacement | Outside this page | Expect a larger quote and a license question in Davidson and Rutherford. |
| Leak behind the wall | Plumber first | Then a patch, if the board is drywall and not damaged structure. |
What’s included
- The specific repair you name: caulk, hardware, one faucet, a stuck drawer, a toilet repair
- A scope that stays inside minor repair
- A pause if opening the cabinet shows rot or an active leak
What this is not
- Tile replacement, vanity swaps that require plumbing moves, or countertops
- Mold removal beyond surface caulk
- Design help or fixture selection shopping
Around Nashville
Renovated kitchens in Green Hills and Brentwood make a small repair fussier, because the caulk and hardware have to sit next to newer finishes.
Original 1980s baths in Hermitage are the opposite problem: yellowed caulk and a faucet that has dripped for a year. Both are valid small jobs if the scope stays small.
What changes the price
How many trades the task touches
Caulk is one skill. Moving a drain is another license.
Finish matching
New grout next to old grout will not disappear.
Access
A faucet with working stops is minor. A faucet with none is not.
How to choose a pro
- Name the room and the broken thing. Avoid “update the bath.”
- Ask the pro to tell you if the job should be a plumber or a remodeler.
- If your budget is $3,000 or more in Davidson or Rutherford, read the cost guide before you submit.
Questions
Can you recaulk a shower?
Yes, that is a standard small repair. It will not fix missing backer board or a failed pan.
Will you replace a vanity?
A straight swap with the same plumbing location is sometimes possible. Moving the drain is a plumber’s scope, and the total may leave the small-job range.
Do you offer a bathroom remodel?
No. This site matches small repairs. Larger work needs a contractor conversation and, at the thresholds on the cost guide, the right license.
