I am away from home for a time. My cleaner discovered a leak from the toilet (thankfully it did not cause any flooding). I was apprehensive about trying to get this fixed from a distance but, because I had used Shanks Plumbing before, I sent a message explaining my situation. In the office, Jason and Mark were both helpful and Eric arrived today, discovered that - as we kind of expected - he couldn't fix the 20-year old no-brand toilet, so he supplied and installed a new toilet. To save me a second service call, he had brought the desired replacement with him. Excellent, professional, and thoughtful service. Good quality products that may be a LITTLE on the pricey side, but you know that you're getting a professional-quality product (unlike the toilet that failed), and with it you're getting a guarantee that Shanks stands behind with both parts and service. Eric is friendly, professional, and does high quality work. The company is efficient and carries insurance covering them to work in condo buildings more than 5 storeys tall, which mine is. I recommend them enthusiastically!

As an interior designer who has many renovations under her belt, I have worked with my fair share of trades, including plumbers, some of which have proven problematic. This was the first time I have worked with this company, and I was absolutely ecstatic with every part of the project. I used their services for the plumbing components of a complete gut of a 100 sq. ft. master bathroom in a luxury condo, as well as a major repair in a guest bathroom. Not only was the work itself in terms of installation and repair of the utmost quality, but communication throughout, regarding scheduling of appointment dates (and great lead time), arrival of parts, etc. was incredibly professional. Mark, their plumber who worked on all components of my project was very friendly, great at helping me sort out several design options, and a joy to work with. What a relief to know I now have a wonderful, worry-free plumbing company for future projects.

I have always had excellent, prompt service from Shanks and have used them for plumbing concerns about 4 times over the past 5 years. During the freezing cold weather in January when it seemed like everyone's pipes were freezing and bursting, Shanks was able to send someone out within a few hours of me calling and had my pipe repaired and my water back on very quickly. The plumbers who have been sent out and the staff on the phone are always friendly and helpful. I recently had Dave come out to give me some advice on repairing a bathroom that is poorly insulated. He gave me excellent advice and referred me to reliable trades people who were more than willing to set up appointments to give me quotes based on his referral. Thank-you Shanks for your experienced, honest help and suggestions.

  • P Moser

When the faucet on our old clawfoot tub began to leak badly I took it apart...but soon realized that it was time to call in professional help. Eric from Shanks Plumbing came on time and carefully tried replacing the parts that are the usual source of such leaks. When that did not work, he quickly arranged to pick up a replacement faucet from his supplier and gave us a time frame for a return visit. Despite a busy schedule (and difficult winter driving conditions), he made sure we were taken care of, and installed the new faucet. Eric was very pleasant and helpful throughout, and the entire experience with the team at Shanks Plumbing was professional. I wouldn't hesitate to use Shanks Plumbing again, or to recommend them to others.

  • Steven R

We had a new refrigerator delivered today. I, wrongly, assumed the water hookup would be the same as the previous. We got it attached but there was a small leak. I have had small leaks like this before I was not at all excited! I called Shanks and they were able to find time to fix this for me the same day. I know that is not always available or easy to do but they did dispatch a plumber and had us up and working within a couple of hours. I am pretty sure lunch break was scarified for our water connection. I have used Shanks for a number of jobs in the past and will continue to call them for all my plumbing needs. Thank you

  • Ann Edwards

Shanks did a great bathroom renovation for us. Dave gave us an initial estimate which was the same amount we paid upon completion. He was very helpful in our initial decision making concerning layout, fixtures, and cabinetry. Dave provided excellent trades people for the electrical wiring, painting and dry wall taping aspects of the renovation. Steve did a fantastic job doing the lion's share of the renovation with an exacting attention to detail. He did a beautiful job. Steve is very responsible, personable, and is a pleasure to have in our home. Would absolutely recommend Shanks for your renovation!

  • Cathy Baker

We have a very old home and a young man by the name of Mark was able to remove and install a beautiful new laundry pump ! He arrived on time , was organized, and very courteous! He knew just what to do and it was very complicated in a small work space as well! Thank you Dave for visiting our home initially to figure out what we needed and then sending such an excellent technician by the name of Mark to our home to complete the work! He left the work space neater than what he came upon ! Thank you again! Appreciatively Catherine Baker

  • Tony Andras

I have had three different plumbers visit from Shanks and stay as satisfied as ever. First, they're very courteous, even personable. They do the job without turning the customer into an assistant, and they don't break or damage anything else in the process of doing their repair! Last, they don't leave a mess for the customer to clean up. Everything they fix stays fixed too, so I am happy to pay their middle-range price as I am getting long-term value. Now, what's the matter with that?

  • Lolita M.

Last Friday we had Eric D. come and do some work at my mother-in-law’s place. We were so impressed with him! He did a great job installing new kitchen taps and even reinforced the counter underneath. He also guided us on the right shower head. While he worked on the kitchen taps, we went and purchased the correct shower head. Eric was also wonderful with my mother-in-law. I would definitely call him again.

  • Sylvia M

I had problems with my shower faucet for some time and had difficulty finding a plumber who could repair the problem. I tried Shanks Plumbing to see if they could repair my shower faucet and they did. I found them to be reliable, helpful and trustworthy. Eric is very skilled and did an excellent job. Brian, at the office and Eric go above and beyond to help. Shanks is now my go to plumbing service.

  • Carrie R

I had a very old and leaky kitchen faucet that required replacement. I found Shanks Plumbing online and I’m very glad I called them. Eric from Shanks showed up on time and he was very knowledgeable, professional and personable. He explained everything that needed to be done and worked very efficiently. I am very pleased with the end product and will definitely be calling Shanks in the future!

  • natalie caciagli

Came home to a burst pipe after a weekend away and Eric was on site before the emergency restoration crew. He had the pipe repaired in no time . But what I found really valuable was his insight and advice on how to avoid another freeze. He was able to show me where to add more insulation and then had a look at the other walls to see if they needed some attention as well. Thank you so much!

  • Isi Caulder

The folks at Shanks Plumbing are fantastic. They are responsive and send capable and friendly repair professionals to fix issues without delay. They also provide solid options with costing and skillfully guide the customer towards the right option. I would recommend them to anyone who wants good value and top notch client service. Well done Shanks Plumbing!

  • Douglas Ford

Our Kitchen Sink was plugged and drain cleaner did not fix the problem. When I phoned the dispatcher was friendly and helpful; when I phoned back later that same afternoon he was able to get an ETA for Eric the plumber coming to fix my sink. Eric was friendly, helpful and professional; he located and fixed the problem in a reasonable amount of time.

  • scott blue

At our 99 year old home in East York, we had a surprise leak show up to our dismay. We called Shanks and they came by as soon as possible to diagnose and fix the problem. It ended up being a pretty big repair with three visits. Eric was professional and courteous throughout the whole job, and I would use Shanks again without hesitation.

  • Jennifer Pierce

Eric did a great job of creating and attaching a waterline for my fridge. He re- levelled the fridge after moving it back into place(difficult on my old floor). He was considerate and thoughtful of where to place the line and made sure I understood where on the line I could shut off water too the unit if needed. I highly recommend him.

  • Joan Cartwright

Eric came to repair our faucet this morning. He arrived on time, did a great job and was very pleasant. Eric worked on a bathroom reno for us with Steve years ago. It was so nice to see him once again. It is always a pleasure dealing with Shanks Plumbing. Their service is outstanding. I would highly recommend them. J Cartwright

  • N. Miller

Long time customer discovered through my contractor. Eric did a great job repairing my clogged kitchen tap and showed me how to troubleshoot any future problems with it as the design of this tap is a bit unusual. Some minor issues with toilets that he was able to fix as well, so a very productive service call.

  • Line Forestier

Eric is the best. Very knowledgeable, kind and courteous. Love how he clearly explains the issue and steps needed to address the problem. Appreciate the fact he came back to our house three days before our scheduled appointment to wrap up a job for us. You can’t go wrong with him! Thanks Eric

Shanks has by far the best customer service of any plumbing and repair service I have worked with over many years of maintaining a house and subsequently condo. Their prices are fair and their work of the highest quality. In particular, Yusuf and Rocky are the best!

While doing the dishes, I discovered that the P trap under my kitchen sink was totally corroded and the water was draining into the cabinet below. I figured I should check the P trap under my bathroom sink and a gentle prod punched a hole
