Faucet repair in Milton

A dripping tap is almost never the whole faucet; it is a cartridge, a washer or an O-ring that has worn out. Swap that part and the faucet is good for years.

Inside the faucet

Single-lever faucets use a cartridge that mixes hot and cold; when its seals wear, the tap drips or the handle gets stiff. Older two-handle taps use rubber washers that compress against a seat. Kitchen faucets with pull-down sprayers also have hoses and quick-connects under the sink that can leak into the cabinet.

Signs this is the job you need

Spout that never quite stops dripping
A wet ring on the counter around the tap base
Handle stiff or grinding when turned
Hot and cold not mixing properly

How the work goes

We turn off the shut-offs under the sink.
We strip the tap down to find what has worn.
We clean scale from the body and seats.
We fit the new cartridge or washers.
We test for drips at the spout and below.

The repair

Stops closed under the basin, the handle comes off, remove the retaining clip or nut and pull the cartridge. We match it to a new one, clean any scale from the body and reassemble with fresh O-rings and silicone grease.

Under the sink we check the supply lines and the sprayer hose for wear.
If the faucet body itself is cracked or the parts are no longer made, we tell you replacement is the better route.

Asked on the phone line

Can every faucet be repaired?

Most quality faucets can. Some cheaper models are not worth fixing because parts are not available.

My under-sink shut-off will not close. Now what?

We can replace it as part of the repair.

How a call to us runs

You ring (365) 364-2776 and a person picks up, not a menu.
We ask where the water is, what you have already shut off and what decade the building went up in.
We say when the van should pull up and what to do until it does.
On site we show you the fault, give a firm price before starting and clean up after.

Phone booking keeps things quick: no forms, no portals, no follow-up emails trying to sell you a maintenance plan.
