That drip isn't just annoying — it's 3,000 gallons a year.
One drip per second wastes about 3,000 gallons annually. Whether it's a worn cartridge, hard-water scale, or a faucet that's simply done, we fix it right and price it in writing first.
Faucet problems we fix every week.
- • Dripping from the spout (worn cartridge, seats, or O-rings)
- • Leaking at the base or under the sink (body gaskets, supply connections)
- • Low flow at one faucet (scale-clogged aerator or cartridge — a Hill Country classic)
- • Stiff or wobbly handles, handles that spin without shutting off
- • Sprayer and pull-down hose failures on kitchen faucets
- • Shower valves that won't hold temperature (pressure-balance cartridge)
- • Outdoor hose bibs that drip, spray at the handle, or froze over winter
Repair vs. replace — the honest call.
Repair if…
- • It's a quality faucet with available cartridges and parts.
- • The body and finish are in good shape.
- • It's a shower valve — replacing the cartridge beats opening the wall.
Replace if…
- • It's a builder-grade faucet where the repair part costs near what the faucet did.
- • The body is corroded or the finish is pitted through.
- • Parts are discontinued.
- • You're updating the room anyway.
Hill Country hard water scales up cartridges, seats, and aerators years ahead of schedule. If you're replacing cartridges every couple of years, a water softener costs less than a decade of faucet repairs — and we'll show you that math honestly.
What's included in a faucet install.
- • Install of your fixture or one we supply — we'll steer you toward brands with lifetime cartridge warranties
- • New supply lines — never reused
- • New shut-off valves if yours are seized or won't fully close
- • Drain and P-trap check while we're under the sink
- • Full leak test under pressure before we leave
- • Haul-away of the old fixture
Why Hill Country Homeowners Call Cowboy
We Know Hill Country Fixtures
Hard water kills cartridges and corrodes brass faster here. We know which brands hold up and which ones fail, and we'll steer you toward fixtures built to last.
Supply Lines & Valves Included
A new faucet is only as secure as the valves beneath it. We check and replace aged shut-off valves so you're not flooding the cabinet three years from now.
Written Price, No Surprises
You see the price before we turn a wrench. No open-ended hourly rates that grow while you're watching.
Questions Homeowners Ask
Can a dripping faucet be repaired, or does it need replacing?
Most dripping faucets just need a new internal cartridge or O-ring. We'll open it up and let you know if a repair makes sense or if the fixture is too far gone.
Why is my water pressure low at just one faucet?
This is often caused by a clogged aerator. Hard water sediment builds up in the tip — it's usually a fast, inexpensive fix. If cleaning the aerator doesn't resolve it, we check the supply valve and cartridge.
Does hard water damage my faucets?
Yes. The high mineral content in the Hill Country eats away at rubber seals and corrodes brass components. A water softener helps extend fixture life — we'll tell you honestly if that math works for your situation.
Do you install faucets I bought myself?
Absolutely. Whether you bought it online or at a local store, we can install it cleanly and properly connect the supply lines — including replacing seized shut-off valves if needed.
How much does it cost to replace a kitchen faucet?
It depends on the complexity of the sink setup and whether shut-off valves also need replacing. We evaluate the job and give you a written price upfront before we start.
