Wall-mounted faucets aren’t more difficult to fix than traditional ones, but plumbing problems will complicate your repair. If your plumber needs to access the plumbing lines, they’ll have to open up the wall in your bathroom or kitchen. So once they finish fixing the issues, like a leak, you’ll need to pay extra for drywall repairs.

Most plumbing lasts anywhere from 20 to 100 years, but it depends on the type of plumbing and materials. For example, copper and cast iron pipes last between 50 and 100 years on average, while galvanized steel, PEX, and brass pipes have lifespans ranging up to 50 years. Your soil acidity and extreme temperatures both impact how long pipes last, so keep in mind your home’s climate and soil quality when determining the lifespan.

You can fill your hot tub with a bucket, but it will take a long time, and the water won’t run through a prefilter. Look at it this way. If you need 700 gallons to fill the hot tub and you have a 5-gallon bucket, it will require 140 buckets to fill the hot tub.

Some states mandate that anyone doing plumbing work hold a plumber’s license, and some municipalities in other states require licensing, so it depends on where you live. However, hiring a certified plumber is usually best, even if it's a higher hourly cost and the license isn’t a state requirement. Certified plumbers are more likely to have the experience necessary to get your repair done properly, meaning a lower risk of issues occurring afterward. You also have some recourse if a certified plumber makes a mistake, as you can report them to the certifying authority.
