Kitchen, Bathroom, and Commercial Faucet Repair

Faucets contain washers, cartridges, seals, valves, O-rings, and other components that can wear out, loosen, become clogged, or deteriorate over time.

When that happens, a faucet may drip continuously, leak around the handle or base, lose water pressure, or become difficult to operate.

S&S Plumbing can address problems involving:

  • Kitchen faucets
  • Bathroom sink faucets
  • Utility and laundry faucets
  • Single-handle faucets
  • Double-handle faucets
  • Commercial faucets
  • Sensor and touchless faucets
  • Dripping or leaking fixtures
  • Faucets with low or inconsistent water flow
  • Loose or difficult-to-operate handles

Not every malfunctioning faucet needs to be replaced. If the fixture is otherwise in good condition and compatible components are available, repairing the affected part may restore normal operation.

Kitchen Faucet Repair

Kitchen faucets get heavy daily use, and pull-down sprayers, single-handle cartridges, and the supply lines under the sink are common trouble spots. We repair leaks at the spout, handle, and base, restore weak or uneven flow, and check the connections inside the sink cabinet for moisture.

Bathroom Faucet Repair

Bathroom sink faucets often develop drips from worn cartridges or washers, loose handles, or reduced flow from a clogged aerator. We repair single-handle and double-handle bathroom faucets and check the supply connections below the vanity so a small drip doesn’t turn into cabinet damage.

Signs You Need Leaking Faucet Repair

Some faucet problems appear suddenly, while others develop gradually.

Signs that a faucet may need professional attention include:

  • Water continues dripping after the faucet is turned off
  • Water leaks around the handle or base
  • The handle is loose, stiff, or difficult to turn
  • Water flow has decreased
  • Water sprays unevenly from the faucet
  • Hot and cold water are difficult to control
  • The faucet makes unusual noises during use
  • Corrosion or mineral buildup is visible around the fixture
  • Plumbing connections or the cabinet floor below the sink appear damp

Even a small, persistent leak is worth investigating. Faucet components can continue to deteriorate, and ongoing leaks can contribute to unnecessary water use or moisture damage around the fixture.

Common Causes of Leaking or Malfunctioning Faucets

The cause of a faucet problem depends on the type, age, design, and condition of the fixture.

Common causes can include:

  • Worn washers
  • Damaged cartridges
  • Deteriorated O-rings or seals
  • Loose plumbing connections
  • Corroded components
  • Mineral or sediment buildup
  • Clogged aerators
  • Damaged valves
  • General wear from repeated use

Low water pressure at a single faucet may be caused by buildup or a restriction at the fixture. If pressure problems affect several fixtures, the cause may be located elsewhere in the plumbing system and require further evaluation.

A licensed plumber can inspect the fixture and accessible connections to determine whether the problem is isolated to the faucet or related to another plumbing issue.

Hard Water and Faucet Problems in San Antonio

Much of the San Antonio area’s water comes from the Edwards Aquifer, which flows through limestone and carries a high mineral content. Over time, those minerals can build up in aerators, cartridges, and valve seats, leading to reduced flow, stiff handles, and leaks that come back sooner than expected.

If you keep seeing white or crusty buildup on your faucets and showerheads, ask your plumber whether a water softener or water filtration system could help protect your fixtures.

What Does Professional Faucet Repair Include?

Professional faucet repair begins with identifying the source of the leak or malfunction rather than replacing parts at random.

Depending on the fixture and the problem, service may include:

  • Inspecting the faucet and accessible plumbing connections
  • Identifying the source of dripping or leaking
  • Checking washers, cartridges, seals, O-rings, and valves
  • Inspecting accessible connections underneath the sink
  • Checking water flow at the fixture
  • Cleaning or replacing affected components, including faucet cartridge replacement, when appropriate
  • Testing the faucet after the repair
  • Identifying whether another plumbing issue is contributing to the problem

The exact repair depends on the faucet design, the source of the malfunction, and whether the necessary components can be serviced or replaced.

What to Expect During Faucet Repair

During the service visit, an S&S Plumbing technician will evaluate the faucet and explain the recommended solution.

Some faucet problems can be resolved by repairing or replacing an internal component. Other repairs may require a manufacturer-specific or specialty part that is not immediately available.

If the faucet is heavily corroded, physically damaged, obsolete, or no longer practical to repair, the plumber may recommend replacing the fixture instead.

S&S Plumbing typically schedules service appointments within 24 to 48 hours. Availability may vary based on location, service needs, and the current schedule.

Should You Repair or Replace a Faucet?

A leaking faucet does not automatically need to be replaced.

Repair may make sense when:

  • The fixture is otherwise in good condition
  • The problem involves a serviceable component
  • Compatible replacement parts are available
  • The faucet has not required repeated repairs
  • The repair can restore reliable operation

Replacement may be more practical when:

  • The faucet is heavily corroded
  • The fixture is physically damaged
  • Replacement components are obsolete or unavailable
  • The faucet has developed repeated problems
  • The cost of continued repairs approaches the cost of replacement

A professional evaluation can help determine which option makes sense based on the condition of the fixture and the problem causing it to malfunction. If replacement is the better choice, our team also handles plumbing fixture installation and replacement.

How Much Does Faucet Repair Cost?

The cost of faucet repair depends on several factors, including:

  • The type and design of the faucet
  • The source of the leak or malfunction
  • The components required
  • Accessibility
  • The condition of the fixture
  • Whether another plumbing problem is involved
  • Whether repair or replacement is the better option

For service calls and troubleshooting, a diagnostic fee may be required. An S&S Plumbing technician will evaluate the issue, identify the cause, and provide recommendations and pricing for the appropriate solution.

Financing options are available for qualified customers and may be more relevant when a faucet problem is part of a larger plumbing project.

Faucet Repair FAQs

Can a leaking faucet usually be repaired?

Many leaking faucets can be repaired when the problem is caused by a serviceable internal component, such as a cartridge, washer, O-ring, or seal. Whether repair is practical depends on the condition of the faucet and the availability of compatible replacement parts.

Why does my faucet keep dripping after I turn it off?

A faucet that continues dripping may have a worn or damaged internal component that is no longer creating a proper seal. A plumber can inspect the faucet to identify which component is causing the leak.

Why is my faucet leaking around the handle or base?

Leaks around the handle or base can be caused by worn seals, O-rings, cartridges, loose components, or other internal problems. The fixture should be inspected to determine exactly where the water is escaping.

Why does only one faucet have low water pressure?

When low water pressure is limited to one faucet, the cause may be located at the fixture, such as mineral buildup, a clogged aerator, or another restriction. If several fixtures have low pressure, the source may be elsewhere in the plumbing system

Is a dripping faucet worth repairing?

Yes. A faucet that drips continuously uses water even when the fixture is turned off and indicates that something is no longer sealing or operating correctly. Repairing the underlying problem can stop the leak and reduce unnecessary water use.

Should I repair or replace an old faucet?

Repair may make sense when the faucet is in otherwise good condition and compatible replacement components are available. Replacement may be more practical when the fixture is significantly corroded, damaged, obsolete, or experiencing repeated problems.

Can S&S Plumbing replace my faucet if it cannot be repaired?

S&S Plumbing provides plumbing fixture installation and replacement. If the existing faucet is no longer practical to repair, the plumber can explain the available replacement options.

Does S&S Plumbing repair commercial faucets?

Yes. S&S Plumbing provides commercial plumbing service and repair, including plumbing fixture service for offices, retail properties, restaurants, medical and dental offices, multifamily properties, and other commercial facilities.

Can a leaking faucet increase my water bill?

A faucet that continually drips or leaks uses water even when the fixture is not intentionally running. The amount depends on the severity and frequency of the leak, but a persistent leak can contribute to unnecessary water usage. If your bill has jumped and you can’t find an obvious leak, our high water bill investigation can help track down the source.

Can mineral buildup affect a faucet?

Yes. Mineral deposits can accumulate in aerators and other faucet components and may contribute to restricted or uneven water flow. San Antonio’s hard water makes this especially common. The appropriate solution depends on where the buildup is located and whether other components are affected.

How quickly can I schedule faucet repair?

S&S Plumbing states that service appointments are typically scheduled within 24 to 48 hours. Exact availability depends on location, service needs, and the current schedule.

Does S&S Plumbing warranty faucet repairs?

S&S Plumbing offers satisfaction guarantees and warranties on parts and labor. Specific warranty terms vary depending on the repair and components involved.
