Faucet repair in Escondido, kitchen, bath, shower, under the sink or outside.

The bathroom faucet has dripped for months, the kitchen sprayer goes sideways, the shower only gives you hot, the tub spout won't send water up to the shower head, or the valve under the sink spins without closing. Every faucet, shower valve, tub spout, shutoff valve and hose bib wears the same way, and the drip is only the loudest version of it. Does one of those sound like your situation, or is it something different? Either way, let's talk about it. Call (760) 209-5055 and a real human picks up the phone as opposed to an automated AI system, ready to get someone out to fix it.

What's Acting Up

Find your fixture. A drip, a leak, low pressure or no water, each one has a place it starts.

Find your fixture below. Every job is performed by or under a California licensed, insured contractor.

Kitchen faucet

The spout drips after it's shut off, water shows up around the base of the faucet or under the sink after you run it, the spray is weak or uneven, the pull down head droops or won't pull back, or the handle feels loose or stiff. A kitchen faucet has more inside it than it looks, a cartridge, O rings at the base, an aerator at the tip, a hose and a weight under the sink, and Escondido's hard water leaves scale in all of them. Any one of those could be what's tired. In the family tracts the kitchen faucet fills pots all day and the shower valve serves 6 people before 8 am, so the wear comes early. The contractor can tell you which one, and whether that faucet is worth the repair.

Bathroom faucet

A drip you hear at night, a handle that takes more effort than it used to, water seeping out around the handle, a weak stream from a scaled up tip, or green and white crust building at the base. Underneath, the pop up stopper and the drain assembly can leak into the cabinet and stay hidden until the bottom shelf warps. A faucet with 2 handles wears in different spots than a single handle faucet, and the contractor checks the whole thing while it's apart. In an Old Escondido craftsman bathroom the goal is keeping the character, and the contractor looks at what can be rebuilt before anything gets swapped.

Shower valve

The temperature drifts while you're in the shower, it only gives you hot or only cold, the handle is stiff or spins without doing much, the shower head keeps dripping after it's off, or the pressure in the shower is lower than everywhere else in the house. The valve is the part inside the wall behind the handle, and the cartridge inside it is what wears. A cartridge that has sat in hard water for years could be stuck in the valve, and pulling on it the wrong way can turn a small job into a bigger one, which is why this is one to leave to a professional. A wet spot or a stain on the other side of the shower wall means the leak is inside the wall, and that one is worth a call sooner rather than later.

Tub spout and diverter

Water keeps coming out of the tub spout when the shower is on, the spout drips, the pull up knob on the spout sticks or won't stay up, or the spout is loose and water is getting behind it. The diverter is the small part that sends water up to the shower head, and it's a common thing to wear out. Water sneaking behind a loose spout is the part that matters, because it ends up in the wall where nobody sees it.

Shower head and trim

Low pressure or a spray that goes sideways, a handheld hose that leaks at the connection, a shower head caked in scale, or trim around the handle that's loose or corroded. Escondido's hard water is hard on shower heads. When the pressure is low at every fixture in the house, though, the shower head isn't the cause, and the contractor will tell you where to look instead.

Shutoff valves and supply lines under the sink

You reached under the sink to shut the water off and the valve spins without closing, won't turn at all, or drips once you touch it, or the braided supply line to the faucet or the toilet is corroded, bulging or wet at the ends. Those little valves are what save you in an emergency, and an old one that hasn't been turned in 10 years is the one most likely to fail when you need it. If one doesn't work, the others are the same age.

Outdoor faucet, spigot or hose bib

The spigot drips with the hose off, it leaks from behind the handle when it's running, the handle is stuck, stiff, rusted, broken or won't turn at all, or it sprays from the little cap on top when you shut it off. Outdoor faucets live in the sun and get cranked hard, and the one that drips all summer adds up on the water bill. A spigot that has seized is a tough one to force, because the pipe it's attached to is in the wall.

A new faucet or fixture

You'd rather have something new than fix what's there, or you've already picked one out. Kitchen or bathroom faucet, shower trim, tub spout, shower head or outdoor faucet, with the old one out and the new one matched to the holes in the sink and the valve in the wall so it fits the first time. If you want to know what holds up in Escondido water, ask on the phone.

Faucet, Shower & Sink Repair in Escondido

Original fixtures, discontinued parts, and straight answers about both.

In Escondido's older homes, the fixtures are often part of the character, and after decades of use they start to show wear. You might have a kitchen drip you've gotten used to, a bathroom handle that only works a certain way, or a shower that keeps running a little after it's off. Each of those is normal wear, and people tend to live with them longer than they should.

Most of these have simple causes and modest costs. A drip is usually a worn cartridge or seal, a small repair. A handle that resists has wear reaching the parts inside, and it's cheapest to fix at the first sign. A shower that drips after it's off usually means a worn cartridge or seat, and vintage walls are a good reason to keep the valve behind them in good shape. Hard water can be tough on seals and cartridges, and fixtures in a vintage Escondido bathroom have had the longest run.

The service covers kitchen and bathroom faucets and shower and tub fixtures, with repair while the fixture has life left and replacement when it doesn't or when it's time for an upgrade. In vintage homes the work is done with care to keep the original look, and modern fixtures are fitted correctly. Everything is explained in plain English, and every decision is yours, at your own pace.

Why We're Different

What makes us different.

No memberships

Think about what a membership actually is. You pay month after month, year after year, for a problem you don't have yet. If it's not broken, don't fix it.

No salespeople

The bigger companies send someone dressed nice who works on commission, and by the time he leaves you've agreed to things you never called about. With us there's no middle salesman. You're talking to one of the coordinators, then dealing with the technician.

We're not corporate and never will be

We're staying small enough to stay personal.

Discounts that respect who you are

Discounts for veterans, active military, first responders, healthcare workers, teachers, and seniors. You must mention it on your initial call to qualify. Valid ID required.

"Referred by a neighbor to call Pipe Patrol Plumbers and Drains of Escondido, and so glad we did. They came out and diagnosed the sink drain clog, and since it had been an ongoing issue, they used a powerful hydro jet to clear it out. Everything was a complete success. So glad we called a professional company like Pipe Patrol!"

Escondido Faucet, Shower & Sink Questions

Answers before you call.

Our house is a century old. Can the original fixtures be saved?

Often, yes. Many vintage fixtures were built to be rebuilt, and stems, seats, and washers still exist for a surprising share of them. When parts truly don't exist, you'll see period appropriate options instead of a generic swap. A licensed contractor gives it to you straight.

What wears out first in a busy family kitchen?

The faucet cartridge and the pull out hose, in that order. Daily heavy use and hard water wear them out, and both parts are simple to replace. When a faucet has already been rebuilt twice, replacing it usually makes more sense.

My shower turns scalding when someone flushes. Can that be fixed?

That's what pressure balanced valves were invented for, and older two handle setups predate them. A modern pressure balanced valve is built to handle that, installed through a modest opening by a California licensed, insured contractor.

Is a dripping tub spout the spout or the valve?

Water from the spout when the shower runs often points to the diverter, though some setups allow a little by design, and water dripping when everything is off usually points to the valve. Both are routine fixes, and the contractor can tell which one it is.

Can you fix the crusted old shutoff valves under our sinks?

Replacing them is the better call. Old stops that haven't turned in decades can't be trusted in an emergency, and quarter turn replacements with new supply lines are a modest job.

Do you provide same day faucet, shower and sink repair in Escondido?

Yes. We do same day service. The best way to set that up is to call (760) 209-5055. We serve Escondido 7am to 10pm, 7 days a week, and most holidays.
