My job is pretty simple but I need quotes. I have one sink that is leaking a little underneath. I have one bathtub that has handles that leak when they're turned on. And I have a simple bidet that needs to be taken off - just undone from the plumbing and one nut unscrewed (I don't have a tool that will get to it). Simple stuff but needs to get done.

Plumbing Repair
Regular home plumbing repair problems can be enough to send your life and home into a spiral. It's hard to relax when you have a bathroom sink that needs repair, or a clogged toilet in your home. Fortunately, there are a few basic steps you can take to fix your home plumbing problems. For instance, in case of clogged toilet, toilet repairs can be as simple as plunging using a plunger, and pouring some water after every few minutes to clear the obstruction. If this doesn't work, you need a professional plumber to fix the toilet. Leaky or broken faucets are some of the most common problems in any home. To fix a faucet, first turn off the water supply, and unscrew the faucet taking care to place the removed parts in the same order in which you remove them. This helps you place the parts back in order again, when it's time to screw the faucet back on. Get the defective parts replaced, and make sure you take it with you to the store so you find the right match.
To unclog your bathroom shower drain, first remove the strainer cover by using a screw driver. Using a flash light, look for any visible signs of blockage, and if you see one, use a straightened hanger to fish out the blockage. If this doesn't work, plumbing a small plunger about 20 times can dislodge the obstruction. Keep plunging until the abstraction has been sucked out near enough for you to see it. Then, use a hanger to fish the clog out. Toilet repairs are among the most dreaded home plumbing repairs to attempt. To fix an overflowing toilet, use a plunger to dislodge the clog. Do the same for a clogged toilet, and plunge at least 15 to 20 times. After every plunging session, pour some water into the toilet, and see if the clog is washed away. Remember, plunging doesn't always work immediately, and you might have to plunge a few times to see any results.
