Canada day disaster

Look out of my front window on the morning of July 1st to discover I have a giant Canada Day water feature outside my front door. Panic sets in as we have people coming for afternoon and evening festivities. The quick reaction is to call Mr Swirl. They have saved the day for me before. Saturday of a long weekend and within 90 minutes I have a technician here and as I had already dug the hole to expose the leak it was 30 minutes and we were back up and running.
Thank you to the team at Mr Swirl.

Unprofessional job done

The plumber guy that came to our house was nice and polite, but I didn't feel that he did a professional job in replacing the tub spout and handle, especially for the price I paid $2200 approx. Thats a lot of money out of my pocket. I don't understand why he couldnt find a similar style to replace the handle to match the one that was broken. But rather find something that was a totally different style and shape. Then had to do more work by cutting more space on the bathroom tile. That was unnecessary extra work. The tub sprout doesn't even fit the edge of the tile leaving a gap when it should fit tight to the edge of the tile. Is that a professional job? Then the plumber guy put more caulking to fill in the extra gap. He only did caulking on just the top portion. What about the bottom portion? He should have put caulking all-round the end of the tub sprout to prevent water from filling inside. If the company is reading this review. I really would like a second professional plumber to come back and assess the work again and fix the flaws that were missed. I plan on making a call soon. Sorry for the negative review but Im not satisfied with the large amount I paid to replace my tub spout and handle. To me, the work was not professionally done properly.

Love Mr Swirl!

I had a cartridge in my tub facet wear out ( old taps) and as Im selling I didnt want to replace the tap so Happy first fixed a leaking shower head and then headed out to plumbing suppliers to find a cartridge. He found one! He returned and quickly installed it so my bathroom is ready to be sold! Happy is very pleasant to deal with and takes the time to explain what hes doing. Great customer service!

Toilet Replacements

Have used Mr. Swirl many times for several projects in our condo. Very organized, professional and knowledgeable. Also very current on technology. All technicians carry an iPad with an app to take photos and calculate estimates in real time on site. Each and every technician that has come to our home has been great to work with. Will continue to be a customer in future projects around the house.

Not worth it.

I paid over $400 for them to send a plumber who is not fully licensed to snake two pipes which did not fix the issue. What a waste of money. Skip these amateurs and call the professionals first.

Bathroom toilet leak

I called in the morning and was surprised to get an appointment that same day! Plumber arrived in time, investigated the issue and provided a few options to resolve it. Plumber was fast and also checked the work several times to ensure the leak was fixed.

Outdoor plumbing

Requested a service on my outdoor tap. The gentleman came to assess but I dont think he knew what the issue was. He quoted me close to 800$ to get the job done but there was no concrete answer as to what the problem was. Im of sure why Im paying the initial 90$ without answers. It would make more sense to identify the issue and then lay out the cost that would be involved in fixing it rather than blindly paying 800$.

Way over priced for not having more definitive answers. Money grub. Wouldnt recommend.

Clogged bathroom sink

Service was fine, the only thing that did not really seem fair was the price. He is here for 20 min and charge over $500. With a faucet replacement it would have been almost $900

Bathroom faucet replacement

Fairly good service but a bit expensive. Plumber seemed a bit inexperienced about things, but pleasant.
