specialization of labor is still a good thing, it's just that having enough knowledge to fix basic around the house problems (like a sink) is helpful and, at least where I've lived, it takes less time to learn how to fix a sink than to find a plumber. For larger or more complicated problems, like a toilet or shower, professionals are almost always the better choice.
