Repair first, when repair makes sense
A dripping faucet is usually a worn cartridge, washer or seal, not a failed faucet. A running toilet is usually a flapper or fill valve. Those are repairs, and they cost a lot less than a new fixture.
Sometimes replacement is the honest answer: the parts aren’t made anymore, the body is cracked or corroded, or the fixture has been repaired so many times it no longer seals. When that’s the case, you’ll be told why.
If you’ve already picked out a new faucet, sink or toilet, it can be installed and connected, with the shut-off valves checked while the water is off.
Before you buy a new one
Repair or replace?
Most fixture problems are a worn part, not a failed fixture. Here’s how it usually breaks down.
| The problem | Usually a repair | Time to replace |
|---|---|---|
| Dripping faucet | A worn cartridge, washer or seal | The body is cracked or corroded, or parts are no longer made |
| Running toilet | A flapper or fill valve | The tank or bowl is cracked |
| Leak under the sink | A loose connection or worn supply line | The trap or drain body has corroded through |
| Low pressure at one fixture | A clogged aerator or worn cartridge | Heavy internal corrosion in an old faucet |
| Dripping tub spout | Worn cartridges or washers in the valve | The valve body is worn out and parts can’t be found |
Every fixture is checked before anything is recommended, and you hear the options before the work starts.

Yanky Gass is an extremely courteous and professional plumber who also scores points for his punctuality - arriving when he said he would. He was very easy to deal with and provided clear answers to all my questions along the way. He does a complete clean-up and guarantees his work. It is very reassuring to be able to depend on such an excellent worker for all my plumbing needs in the future.

Questions homeowners ask
Should I repair or replace a leaking faucet?
If the faucet is in good shape and parts are available, repair is usually the better value. If it’s corroded, cracked, or parts are no longer made, replacement makes more sense.
Can you install a fixture I bought myself?
Yes. Mention the make and model on the call so the right connections are on hand.
Is a running toilet worth fixing right away?
Yes. A toilet that runs constantly can waste a large amount of water, and the fix is usually a simple part.
Why is the pressure low at only one faucet?
When only one fixture is affected, the cause is usually at that fixture, such as a clogged aerator, a worn cartridge, or a partly closed shut-off valve, rather than the house supply.
