Faucet & Sink Repair in Katy, TX
A dripping faucet wastes water and money every day it's left alone, and it's usually a fast, inexpensive fix. Our Katy plumbers repair and replace kitchen and bathroom faucets, fix leaking supply lines under sinks, and handle failing shutoff valves before they turn into a bigger problem.
Why This Happens in Katy
The mineral content in West Houston's water wears out faucet cartridges and valve seats faster than a softer-water market would, which is why a fixture that's only a few years old can already be dripping. Older homes near Katy's historic district may still be running original fixtures from construction, which are more likely to need full replacement than a repair. New-construction homes aren't immune either. A cheaper builder-grade fixture can wear out just as fast as an old one if it was never a high-quality part to begin with.
Signs You Need Faucet & Sink Repair
A Persistent Drip
Continues even with the handle fully closed.
Low Flow or Pressure
Often mineral buildup restricting flow inside the fixture, not the home's main line.
Handle Hard to Turn
A sign the internal cartridge or valve is wearing out.
Leaking Under the Sink
Usually a supply line connection or the shutoff valve itself, not the faucet.
Water Stains or Warping Under the Cabinet
A slow, unnoticed drip under the sink can warp cabinet wood long before it's visible from outside.

How We Diagnose It
A plumber identifies the fixture's brand and cartridge type first, since parts availability varies widely by manufacturer. From there it's a test of the cartridge or valve, a check of the supply line connections, and a check of the shutoff valves under the sink, since a failing shutoff is often mistaken for a faucet problem. On an older fixture, the plumber also checks whether the mounting itself has loosened, which can cause a leak that looks like a cartridge problem but isn't.
Repair or Replace the Fixture?
Repair Usually Makes Sense When
- The fixture is a well-known brand with parts still available
- The body of the fixture shows no corrosion
- This is the fixture's first repair
Replacement Usually Makes Sense When
- The fixture is original to an older home
- Parts for the brand are discontinued
- This is a repeat repair on the same fixture, which usually means the part is failing again rather than being a one-time fix
What Faucet & Sink Repair Costs
Faucet repair typically runs $120 to $300. Full fixture replacement, including a mid-range faucet, runs $200 to $550 installed.
Routine fixture wear isn't an insurance matter. Water damage from a sudden supply line failure sometimes is, depending on your policy. Want your real number? Call (281) 626-9205.
Scope, Honestly
We repair and replace standard residential kitchen and bathroom faucets and sinks. A high-end designer fixture with proprietary parts may need a part ordered directly from the manufacturer, and a plumber will tell you that upfront rather than substitute a mismatched part.
What to Check or Shut Off
Turn off the fixture's local shutoff valve under the sink if it's actively leaking. You don't need to shut off the whole house.
If you can't find or reach the local valve, the home's main shutoff works as a temporary fallback.
Keep a bucket or towel under the leak while you wait to limit water damage to the cabinet.
Note the fixture's brand if it's visible. It speeds up parts availability on the visit.
Common Questions
In most cases yes. If the exact model is discontinued, a plumber can recommend a comparable replacement.
Yes. Beyond the water cost, a worn cartridge can fail further and turn into a bigger leak.
Yes, that's one of the most common calls alongside faucet repair itself.
Yes, including connecting the new sink's drain and supply lines to the existing plumbing, and confirming the new fixture matches your countertop's cutout.
Often Booked Together
A leak that seems to be coming from further inside the wall rather than the fixture itself is worth ruling out with leak detection, and a kitchen sink with disposal trouble on top of a faucet issue may need garbage disposal repair as well.
