We repair it if its more hassle to replace like sometimes you have to repair because it's kind of built into bathroom and new just won't look right.. We dont really get into too much ancient stuff where we can't find parts but have had make things work.. like I've seen some things where there is leather involved before the days of rubber so it's out there.. like above said if financially it makes sense to spend 2 to 5 Bill's on a faucet then I think they rather go with that most of the time.. we only have small old fashion ritsy district... most of the older homes were factory workers houses at the time and have been maintained by themselves over the years and its lower end stuff you'd just toss... Alot of Waltec.. Delta.. Belanger.. Moen.. some other brands I can't remember right now.. I've seen wall hung hardwood toilet tanks with pull chains there are still quite a few of those with like 30 gallon flush. Rear spud or whatever.

But most stuff had been replaced in last 50 years so the replacement parts are there dont usually need to reface seats and change washers when a brand new cartridge and seat are like 10-15 bucks at most...unless of course you get an oldie with built in seats.

Oh Emco is a big one that's around alot like i dont know if some of these are Canada only things but I see tons of mostly waltec, delta, moen and emco, belanger, and jamco
