Faucet Repair & Replacement in San Diego County

Faucet & Sink Fixture Services Backed by 40+ Years of Local Experience

A dripping faucet or a slow leak under the sink may seem minor until it warps cabinet shelving, damages flooring, or runs up a water bill you weren’t expecting. Plumbing Plus has handled faucet repair, sink repair, and full fixture installation across San Diego County since 1984. That adds up to more than 40 years under the same brand, the same name, and the same commitment to doing the job right. Michael De Silva joined the company in 2001 at age 19, trained under seasoned plumbers, and worked his way to lead plumber before taking ownership alongside his wife, Rachael De Silva, in 2010. That background means you’re getting a plumber who built his career on this work, not just someone dispatched from a call center.

Need to schedule faucet repair or replacement? Call Plumbing Plus at (858) 630-3141. We’re available 24/7 for both routine service and plumbing emergencies.

Professional Faucet Repair Services

A leaking faucet wastes water, raises utility bills, and can lead to damage beneath the sink or behind walls. Faucet repair is often the right solution when the fixture itself is still in good condition but internal components have worn down. Our background-checked technicians arrive in uniform, inspect the faucet, identify the root cause, and complete the repair using manufacturer-approved parts when possible. Every repair is backed by a warranty covering both workmanship and materials. Our membership with the Plumbing Heating Cooling Contractors Association (PHCC) reflects the industry standards we hold ourselves to.

Common Faucet Problems We Repair

Faucets rely on cartridges, valves, washers, and O-ring seals to control water flow. Over time, these parts wear out, leading to performance issues that can get worse if left alone. 

Plumbing Plus regularly handles repairs for:

• Dripping or leaking faucets that won’t shut off fully
• Loose or broken handles that affect control
• Leaks at the base of the faucet or under the sink
• Reduced water flow caused by internal wear or cartridge failure
• Noisy faucets linked to pressure or component problems

Addressing these issues early helps protect cabinets, countertops, supply lines, and surrounding plumbing from the secondary damage a slow leak can eventually cause.

Bathroom Faucet Repair

Bathroom faucets are used constantly, making them prone to wear on internal cartridges and valve seats. A leaking bathroom faucet can damage vanity cabinets or flooring if ignored. We repair single-handle and dual-handle bathroom faucets, addressing internal wear without recommending unnecessary replacement when repair is the practical option.

Kitchen Faucet Repair

Kitchen faucets handle heavier daily use than most other fixtures in the home. When a kitchen faucet drips, sprays unevenly, or loses pressure, it affects meal prep, cleaning, and daily routines. Our team repairs common kitchen faucet issues tied to cartridge failure, valve wear, and deteriorated internal seals. We provide a free, written estimate before any work begins.

Sink Repair & Installation in San Diego County

Sink problems often overlap with faucet issues, but they deserve separate attention. Leaks underneath sinks, slow-draining basins, and failed drain assemblies are common calls we handle for both kitchen and bathroom sinks across San Diego County. A leak at the drain flange, a loose P-trap slip nut, or a deteriorated basket gasket can each cause cabinet damage that far exceeds the cost of a timely repair.

Whether the issue is in the plumbing connections or the basin itself needs replacing, we can assess what’s repairable and what isn’t. Common sink repairs we handle include leaks at the drain flange, loose or failed P-trap connections, deteriorated supply line fittings, and blocked or slow drain assemblies.

Sink installation is its own scope of work. We install drop-in, undermount, pedestal, and vessel sinks for kitchens and bathrooms. This includes the drain assembly, supply line connections, and garbage disposal hookup for kitchen installations. Undermount installation on stone or granite countertops requires care to avoid damaging the countertop material, and our technicians treat every surface accordingly. All sink work comes with a free, written estimate upfront and is backed by warranties on both workmanship and materials.

When Faucet Replacement Makes More Sense

There are times when faucet replacement is the better long-term choice. Recurring repairs, visible corrosion, discontinued parts, or a desire to upgrade style or water efficiency can each tip the balance toward a new fixture. 

You may benefit from faucet replacement when:

• Repairs are frequent and no longer cost-effective
• The faucet body shows cracks, corrosion, or internal damage
• Replacement parts are discontinued by the manufacturer
• You want to upgrade style, finish, or water efficiency

Our technicians give honest recommendations. If repair is sufficient, that’s what we’ll tell you. If replacement makes more sense, we’ll explain why and provide a free written estimate before any work begins.

Faucet Installation for Kitchens, Bathrooms, & Showers

Faucet installation involves more than tightening connections. Proper alignment, sealed fittings, supply line inspection, and a pressure check before finishing all matter. A poor installation can leak behind walls long after the technician leaves. Plumbing Plus provides faucet installation for remodels, upgrades, and fixture replacements throughout San Diego County, with every installation backed by a workmanship and materials warranty.

Replacing Kitchen Faucet Fixtures

We install standard, pull-down, and specialty kitchen faucets, handling the removal of the old unit and the full connection of the new fixture. Before finishing, we inspect supply lines and run a pressure check to confirm there are no leaks at the fittings or supply connections.

Replacing Bathroom Faucet Fixtures

Replacing bathroom faucet fixtures is a common upgrade during bathroom refresh projects. Our plumbers install faucets for sinks, vanities, and integrated fixtures, checking for leaks and proper water flow before calling the job complete.

Replacing Shower Valve & Shower Faucet

Shower fixtures involve more than surface-level parts. Replacing shower valve components often requires access behind the wall to reach the valve body and address water control issues at the source. Plumbing Plus handles shower valve and shower faucet assemblies with care to protect surrounding tile, drywall, and finishes. It restores reliable operation once the work is done.

Emergency Faucet & Fixture Repair

A faucet becomes an emergency when the shutoff valve beneath the sink fails or when a broken fixture allows water to flow without control. Active leaks that spread into cabinets or walls can cause structural damage quickly. Plumbing Plus offers 24/7 emergency plumbing service. Plumbing problems don’t keep business hours, and neither do we. We send a pre-arrival text 30 minutes before the technician arrives so you know exactly who’s on the way, and our customer satisfaction guarantee means we’ll make it right if you’re not completely satisfied after the job is done.

Common emergency fixture situations we respond to include:

• Active leaks that can’t be controlled at the handle
• Broken shutoff valves
• Sudden fixture failures causing water damage

Our Faucet & Sink Service Process

Plumbing Plus follows a structured process for every fixture repair, replacement, and installation to reduce disruption and deliver dependable results.

Here's how it works:

• Step One: Initial Assessment and Recommendations: We inspect the existing fixture and plumbing connections. If replacement is needed, we discuss options based on your goals, budget, and usage, and provide a free written estimate before any work begins.
• Step Two: Removal and Preparation: Old fixtures are removed carefully to protect the sink, countertop, and surrounding surfaces. We clean the mounting area and inspect supply lines before installing the new fixture.
• Step Three: Professional Installation: We secure connections, align the fixture correctly, and confirm sealed fittings throughout, whether the job is a kitchen sink, bathroom vanity faucet, or shower valve assembly.
• Step Four: Final Testing and Cleanup: We run water through the fixture, check pressure, confirm smooth operation, and clean the work area. Your technician then sends photos of the completed work along with a digital invoice collected on-site. Documentation and payment are handled at the job, not days later.
