Faucet & Fixture Repair
Faucet and fixture repair takes care of the everyday plumbing you touch most: dripping faucets, stiff or wobbly handles, weak spray from clogged aerators, and showerheads that have lost their pattern. Most of it comes down to worn cartridges and the mineral scale Florida's water leaves behind, and most of it is fixable in a single visit. When a fixture is past saving, we'll say so plainly.
What the job includes
- Stopping drips at kitchen, bathroom, and tub faucets with new cartridges, washers, or seats
- Clearing or replacing aerators and showerheads choked with mineral scale
- Fixing loose, stiff, or leaking handles and leaks at the faucet base
- Repairing sprayer hoses, diverters, and pop-up drain assemblies
- Installing new faucets and fixtures, including ones you've purchased yourself
- A quick check of the shut-off valves feeding each fixture we touch
How you know it’s time
A faucet drips after you shut it firmly
A steady drip means the cartridge or washer no longer seals. Tightening harder just wears it faster; the internal part wants replacing.
Water pressure at one fixture has faded
When a single faucet runs weak while the rest of the house is fine, the aerator is almost always scaled shut — a quick fix.
The handle grinds, sticks, or swings loose
Mineral grit inside the cartridge makes handles stiff; worn splines make them floppy. Both call for a small part, not a new fixture.
White crust keeps returning around the spout
Recurring chalky buildup is aquifer scale. Cosmetic at first, but it works into seals and threads over time.
When to make the call
Book faucet repair whenever a drip, a weak stream, or a rough handle starts annoying you, because none of these fix themselves and all are cheapest at the small stage. A dripping faucet wastes a surprising amount of water over a year on JEA rates, and a slow leak at a faucet base can wick under a countertop long before you see damage. This is unhurried work by nature — pick a time that suits you, and one visit can clear a whole list of small annoyances.
Local knowledge
Faucet & Fixture Repair is a different job in Broward than in Jacksonville. We know both.
Broward & Miami-Dade
Hard Biscayne-aquifer water wears cartridges and clogs aerators on a schedule across South Florida, and salt air corrodes outdoor and balcony fixtures in Aventura, Miami Beach and along the Fort Lauderdale Isles. We repair what is worth repairing, tell you when a faucet is past it, and fit customer-supplied fixtures gladly.
Jacksonville & the First Coast
Jacksonville's water comes from the Floridan aquifer, and its high calcium and magnesium content is the biggest reason faucets here need attention: scale clogs aerators, stiffens cartridges, and shortens seal life, whichever utility sends your bill. We see it at both ends of the housing stock. In Avondale, Springfield, and San Marco, vintage two-handle faucets often just need seats and washers, and originals worth keeping usually can be kept. In Nocatee, Oakleaf, and Yulee, builder-grade fixtures from the 2000s boom are reaching the age where cartridges wear out all at once.

Last reviewed September 16, 2026
Why does my faucet drip even when it's turned off all the way?
Because the part that actually seals the water — the cartridge, washer, or ceramic disc inside — is worn and no longer closes completely, so tightening harder won't stop it. In Jacksonville these wear fast, since mineral grit from aquifer water grinds at the seal with every turn. Replacing the internal part stops the drip.
Should I repair my faucet or replace it?
Repair it if the body is sound and parts are available, which covers most name-brand faucets; replace it if the body is pitted or cracked, parts are unobtainable, or repair cost approaches a fixture you'd like better. Builder-grade fixtures from the 2000s are often near the replace line; older solid-brass faucets are frequently worth keeping alive.
Can you install a faucet I bought myself?
Yes, we install customer-supplied faucets and fixtures regularly — buy the exact model you want. We'll tell you upfront if it has a known weakness or won't fit your sink's holes, before anything is unboxed. Ask before you shop and we'll point you toward brands whose cartridges survive Jacksonville water.
Why is the water pressure low at just one faucet?
The aerator — the little screen at the spout tip — is almost certainly clogged with mineral scale, the standard result of limestone aquifer water passing through fine mesh for a few years. It's a quick, inexpensive fix. If a new aerator doesn't restore flow, the blockage sits deeper, in the cartridge or supply line.
How much does faucet repair cost in Florida?
The cost depends on what's worn and what the faucet is: a washer or aerator is minor, brand-name cartridges vary, and discontinued fixtures can mean hunting for parts. We give a free estimate and a firm, upfront quote after seeing the fixture — and if repair doesn't make financial sense, we show you the replacement math instead.
