Signs your faucet or fixture needs replacing
A dripping faucet is the cheap version of this problem. The shutoff valve that will not close underneath it is the expensive one.
- A faucet that drips after it is shut off
- A handle that has gone stiff, or spins
- Water pooling around the base of the faucet
- A shutoff valve that will not close
- An outdoor hose bib leaking behind the siding
- Low flow at one fixture only
Faucet and fixture work we handle
Most of these are an hour of work that prevents a much longer one. They fail sooner than they should out here: why faucets fail early on well water.
Kitchen and bathroom faucet replacement
$250 to $550 installed, supply lines included. Brass bodied faucets are what we recommend on well water, because the cheap cartridges are the part that fails first.
Cartridge repairs on a faucet you like
Cartridges for most major brands are still available even when the trim is not, so tell us the brand before you decide to replace the whole faucet.
Shutoff valves at every fixture
Quarter turn stops are $120 to $250 each, and they decide whether the next repair starts at the fixture or starts with the whole house turned off.
Hose bibs and frost free sillcocks
$250 to $500. A split hose bib leaks behind the siding every time the pressure comes up, and out here it is usually a freeze that did it.

Questions We Get Asked About Faucet Repair And Installation
The faucet and fixture questions we answer most often.
How much does a faucet replacement cost?
$250 to $550 installed for a kitchen or bathroom faucet. A shutoff valve is $120 to $250 and an outdoor hose bib is $250 to $500. Full ranges are in our toilet and fixture cost guide.
Can you match a discontinued faucet?
Often, yes. Cartridges for most major brands are still available even when the trim is not, so tell us the brand before you decide to replace the whole thing.
Why do faucets fail faster on well water?
Sediment and iron wear through plastic cartridges and seats. A brass bodied faucet with a ceramic cartridge lasts far longer, and treating the water protects everything else in the house at the same time.
Can you install a faucet I bought myself?
Yes. Bring your own and you pay labor only. When we supply it, the warranty claim is ours to chase rather than yours.
Do you replace shower and tub trim as well?
Yes, and that work lives on our bathtubs and showers page, because the valve behind the wall is a much bigger job than the trim in front of it.
