WHAT WE DO
Three Ways to Fix It. One Visit, Fully Equipped.
Whatever your tap needs — repair, upgrade, or something better — we arrive ready to do it the same day. No quote-and-come-back. No second appointment.
REPLACE
Standard Outdoor Tap
Reliable · Same-Day · Priced Upfront
A straightforward, like-for-like replacement. If your current outdoor tap just needs swapping out, this is the simple, dependable fix. We replace the tap, check the valve and connections behind it, and make sure it's sealed properly against the wall.
Don't have an outdoor tap where you need one? We can run a new waterline and install one from scratch — garage, side yard, second floor, wherever makes sense.
Like-for-like tap replacement
Valve replacement if needed
New waterline and tap installation where none currently exists
Proper wall sealing included
Quoted in writing before we start
Replacement completed same day
Backed by our 12-month workmanship guarantee
PROTECT
Frost-Free Outdoor Tap
Frost-Proof Protection · Immune to Freezing · Installed Same Day
Standard taps hold water right at the outside wall — exactly where it freezes first. A frost-free tap moves the shutoff point further inside your home, into the warm part of the house, so there's no standing water left outside to freeze and crack the pipe. It's the upgrade that stops the most common outdoor plumbing problem in Guelph before it happens again.
Shutoff valve relocated inside the heated part of the home
Eliminates trapped water at the wall — the #1 cause of winter cracking
Built from durable brass for long-term reliability
Written upfront price before any work begins
Backed by our 12-month workmanship guarantee
UPGRADE
Hot & Cold Outdoor Tap
Two Handles · Warm Water, Right Outside.
A frost-free tap with both a hot and a cold handle, so you get warm water at the same spigot you already use for the hose. No more hauling buckets from the kitchen sink to wash the car or rinse off a muddy dog. It's a small upgrade that changes how often you actually want to be outside doing the job.
Hot and cold handles on one frost-free fixture
Connects to your home's existing hot water line
Great for washing pets, vehicles, equipment, or an outdoor sink
Especially useful in cooler months when cold water alone isn't enough
Backed by our 12-month guarantee

Why Guelph Homeowners Call Jaytech
And why they stop looking after that first call.
Price Before We Touch Anything.
You get a written quote before a single tool comes out. The price you approve is the price on the invoice. One Guelph homeowner put it best: "Transparent in terms of options, pricing and timing." That's the standard on every job.
On-Site Fast.
A leaking outdoor tap can mean water getting behind your siding or into your basement wall. Jaytech is typically on-site the same day — often within a couple of hours of your call.
We Tell You What You Actually Need.
If a simple like-for-like swap solves it, we'll tell you. If you're a good candidate for frost-free — and most Guelph homes are — we'll explain why, without pushing it.
Experience That Shows.
Guelph's older homes often still have the original outdoor tap from the day the house was built — corroded valves, undersized supply lines, and walls that have shifted around the fitting over decades. Our technicians know what's behind that wall before they open it up.
One Visit. Quoted and Done.
We don't leave you waiting on a second appointment. Our technicians arrive ready to quote it, get your approval, and complete the work the same visit — standard replacement, frost-free upgrade, or hot and cold install.
We Clean Up When We're Done.
Replacing an outdoor tap can mean cutting into drywall or working from inside a finished basement. We protect the area, contain the mess, and leave it the way we found it.

Matt was great. Efficient, friendly and knowledgeable. He replaced our old toilet, serviced our tankless water heater and took video imaging of our system to the main city sewer. Transparent in providing quotes before work and no change to pricing. Would recommend to others without reservation
We’ve used JayTech twice now and have been completely satisfied. They are really efficient at getting a technician out to the house……each time was the same day. Everyone we talked to was very friendly and made it a great experience! It’s a refreshing change from other experiences with other companies! Highly recommend!
Matt and Cayden did a great job fixing our leaky toilet. Super quick and easy to work with.
Jaytech plumbing is amazing. They came 30 min after I called. Matt showed up right on time and was extremely helpful. He helped with my issue with honesty and great customer service. I would definitely recommend and use them again in the future.
Connor did a neat and thorough job of installing a new toilet and bathroom taps, as well as replacing shut of valves. He took his time and everything looks great.
Tom was great! Very friendly and obviously a very skilled professional. He did a great job of using his creative genius in finding a way to extract our stubborn bathtub drain and leaving a glistening new one in its place! Thanks JayTech Plumbing for the quick service too!!
QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
Outdoor Tap Replacement in Guelph — Common Questions
These are the questions Guelph homeowners ask us most. If yours isn't here, call us — we pick up.
Will my outdoor tap be fixed the same day you come out?
Yes. This isn't a quote-and-come-back job. We arrive with the parts and tools to complete a standard replacement, a frost-free upgrade, or a hot and cold install in the same visit — whichever option you choose.
Why does my outdoor tap start leaking in spring?
This is one of the most common calls we get. If a hose was left attached over winter, or the tap wasn't fully drained, the trapped water freezes and expands inside the pipe — cracking it from the inside. You won't see the damage right away, because the water is shut off all winter. The first time you turn the tap on in spring, water finds the crack and starts leaking, sometimes into the wall where you can't see it. By then, replacement is usually the right call.
What's a frost-free tap and how is it different?
A standard outdoor tap shuts off right at the outside wall — exactly where freezing temperatures hit first. A frost-free tap moves that shutoff point further inside your house, into the heated space, so there's no standing water left in the cold section to freeze. It's a one-time upgrade that solves the most common outdoor plumbing failure in Guelph.
Will a frost-free tap completely guarantee I won't have problems?
It dramatically reduces the risk, but disconnecting hoses before the first freeze is still good practice — a hose left attached can trap water even in a frost-free fixture. That said, switching to frost-free is the single biggest thing you can do to stop this from happening again.
What is a hot and cold outdoor tap and is it worth it?
It's a frost-free outdoor tap with two handles instead of one — hot and cold — connected to your home's existing hot water line. It's popular with homeowners who wash dogs, vehicles, or equipment outside and want warm water without hauling buckets from inside. It's a comfort upgrade, not a necessity, but it's one people tend to wonder why they didn't get sooner.
Can you install a new outdoor tap where one doesn't exist?
Yes. If you want a tap added to a garage, a side of the house that doesn't have one, or a second-floor deck, we can run a new waterline and install it from scratch. We'll assess the best route for the line during your quote and complete it the same visit.
How much does outdoor tap replacement cost in Guelph?
It depends on whether it's a like-for-like swap, an upgrade to frost-free, a hot and cold installation, or a brand new line. We quote it in writing on-site before any work begins, so you know the exact price before you commit.

Outdoor Tap Replacement for Guelph's Homes
Guelph's winters are hard on outdoor plumbing. Every spring, we get calls from homeowners who turn on their outdoor tap for the first time in months and find water somewhere it shouldn't be — leaking at the spigot, dripping inside the basement wall, or simply not flowing at all. The damage happened months earlier, quietly, while the tap sat frozen and unused.
Guelph's older homes are especially prone to this. Many homes in Exhibition Park, The Ward, and the older parts of downtown still have their original outdoor tap — a standard hose bib with no frost protection, installed decades before frost-free options were common. If that's your situation, a frost-free replacement isn't just a fix. It's the upgrade that stops this from being a yearly conversation.
We serve homeowners across Guelph, from Kortright Hills and Westminster Woods to Hanlon Creek, Stone Road, and downtown. We're also the plumbers that Kitchener, Cambridge, and Waterloo homeowners call for outdoor tap replacements and upgrades.
