About faucet repair
A dripping faucet is almost always a worn part inside it — a washer, an O-ring or a cartridge — rather than anything wrong with the plumbing behind the wall. The repair is quick for somebody who has the parts in the truck, and it is worth doing promptly: a faucet dripping once a second wastes over 3,000 gallons a year, and a drip that is left tends to end in a seized valve and a bigger bill.
Repairing a faucet typically runs $110 to $300, which usually covers the service call, the labor and a common cartridge or washer set. Replacing the whole faucet with one you have bought is a similar labor figure — often $130 to $350 — because most of the time is spent working in the cabinet under the sink, not on the faucet itself. What pushes it up is corrosion: shut-off valves that have seized, supply lines that have to be replaced, or a mounting nut that has rusted solid under a sink you cannot get your head into. Mention the age of the fittings when you book.
Questions about faucet repair
Is it cheaper to repair a faucet or replace it?
Repair, usually — a cartridge is a few dollars and the labor is the same either way. Replacement makes more sense when the faucet is old, the finish has gone, parts are no longer made for it, or the body itself is corroded. A plumber will tell you which case you are in before starting.
Do I need to turn the water off before the plumber arrives?
No — they will isolate it at the shut-off valve under the sink. It is worth checking that valve turns, though. If it is seized, say so when you book, because the water then has to come off at the main and that changes the job.
How much water does a dripping faucet actually waste?
A drip a second is roughly 3,000 gallons a year. On a metered supply that is real money, and a dripping hot-water faucet is wasting the energy that heated the water as well.
