Signs Your Faucet Needs Repair or Replacement
Small faucet problems waste water and get worse over time.
Get a free estimate- A steady drip
Usually a worn cartridge, washer or seat; the EPA counts dripping faucets among the common household leaks that waste thousands of gallons a year.
- Water at the base or under the sink
Leaking O-rings, supply connections or a cracked faucet body.
- Low flow
Clogged aerators or cartridges from mineral buildup in hard water.
- Stiff or loose handles
Worn cartridges or loose mounting hardware.
- Corrosion or mineral crust
White crust and corrosion around the spout and handles.
- An old or dated faucet
When parts are hard to find, replacement often costs less than repair.
Faucet Types and How They’re Repaired
- Cartridge faucets are the most common single- and two-handle faucets today. A drip or stiff handle usually means a new cartridge.
- Ceramic disc faucets are durable; leaks typically come from worn seals.
- Ball faucets, common in older single-handle kitchen faucets, need new seals, springs or a ball.
- Compression faucets, with separate hot and cold handles that tighten down, need new washers and sometimes seats.
Knowing the brand and model helps us bring the right parts. Quality faucets from major brands are usually worth repairing; inexpensive or discontinued ones are often better replaced.
Choosing a New Faucet
Match the faucet to the sink’s hole pattern, or plan for a deck plate. In kitchens, pull-down sprayers, high-arc spouts and touchless controls are popular; in bathrooms, choose single-hole, centerset or widespread to fit the vanity. We’re happy to install the faucet you choose, or recommend models with easy-to-find parts.
Fixture Installation in Remodels
During a remodel, we rough in supply and drain lines to fit the fixtures you’ve chosen, then return to set sinks, faucets, toilets and shower trim once the finish work is done. Coordinating with your contractor early avoids surprises like a faucet that doesn’t fit the valve or a sink drain in the wrong place.

How Much Does Faucet Repair or Installation Cost in San Jose?
Most faucet repairs and installations are quoted as a fixed price after we see the faucet and the connections. Installing a faucet you've bought costs less than a full sink or fixture replacement.
| Service | Typical San Jose price (USD) |
|---|---|
| Flat-rate pricing | Typically based on $150–$250 per hour, plus parts and drive time |
| After-hours flat-rate pricing | Typically based on $200–$300 per hour, plus parts and drive time, with a minimum charge |
| Inspection feeWaived for service plan members | $59 |
What affects the price
- Repair or replace. A cartridge is quick; a new faucet takes longer.
- Faucet type. Wall-mount, touchless and pot-filler faucets take more work.
- Shutoff valves. Seized stops are replaced at the same time.
- Sink and countertop. Changing hole patterns or the sink adds time.
Most repairs are quoted as a fixed price before we start. Ranges are typical for San Jose and the South Bay and don't include current specials.

Faucets in San Jose Homes
Local conditions that affect faucets and fixtures.
Hard water
Moderately hard South Bay water leaves mineral scale in aerators and cartridges. Cleaning aerators helps; cartridges wear faster.
Water efficiency
California limits flow rates for new faucets, 1.2 gallons per minute in the bathroom and 1.8 in the kitchen; new models save water without feeling weak.
Old shutoff valves
Many older homes have multi-turn stops that seize. We replace them when we install a faucet.

I just used CPI. I had a drain that my contractor spent 3 days on and couldn’t unplug. I was expecting the worst – I hate wallet pain. My appointment was from 9-11. I expected to wait all day. At 10 am, I get a knock at the door. I open the door. A young man, Daniel, well dressed and groomed appears. He is polite and professional. I let him in, but before he comes in, he respects my house and puts on shoe covers. He sees the clogged sink. I blink, and poof its working. (Ok, maybe not like magic, but he assessed the problem and fixes it.) then he turns on the water to show if it backs up. Now here is the important part. He leaves the water ON. He does not attempt to turn OFF. He wait for me to be satisfied. Watch out Plumbers, there’s a new company in Town.
