Faucet & Toilet Repair in Pasadena, TX

A dripping faucet or a toilet that runs all night costs more than it looks, and in Pasadena's many older homes, worn plumbing parts are a fact of life. Houses from the 1950s and 1960s often still have original or decades-old fixtures, shutoff valves that haven't been turned in years and toilets sitting on floors that have shifted with the clay. Newer homes see their own failures, with builder-grade faucets and fill valves wearing out. The local water carries enough mineral content to build up scale in aerators, showerheads and toilet valves over time, which leads to drips, weak flow and toilets that never quite stop running.

We start by finding exactly where the water is going, whether that's a worn cartridge or washer in a faucet, a flapper that no longer seals, a fill valve that won't shut off or a loose connection under the sink. Then we replace the worn parts with quality components, or replace the faucet or toilet entirely when that makes more sense. We reset rocking toilets on new seals, replace old shutoff valves and supply lines, and repair or replace garbage disposals. When a repair uncovers a corroded valve or failing drain fitting, our licensed plumbers take care of it in the same visit.

What this covers

  • Dripping faucet cartridge and washer replacement
  • New kitchen and bathroom faucet installation
  • Running toilet flapper and fill valve repair
  • Toilet reset on a new wax ring or seal
  • Toilet replacement
  • Shutoff valve and supply line replacement
  • Under-sink leak repair
  • Showerhead, tub spout and handle replacement
  • Garbage disposal repair and replacement
A note from around here: Original bathrooms in the postwar homes of Golden Acres, Pasadena Heights and South Pasadena often need new shutoffs, faucets and toilet parts, and homes across the city show mineral buildup in faucets and toilet valves.

How a faucet & toilet repair visit usually goes

Find the Leak

We check where the water is going, whether it's a drip, a running tank, a loose base or a leak under the sink.

Shut Off and Protect

Before anything comes apart, we shut the water off at the fixture or the main and cover floors and cabinets.

Repair or Replace

Worn parts give way to quality replacements, or the whole fixture is swapped when that's the smarter spend, with new supply lines and seals.

Test and Check

With the water back on, we check each connection for drips, cycle the fixture several times and clean up after ourselves.

The February 2021 freeze is still a story in many Pasadena homes. When temperatures stayed below freezing for days and the power went out, pipes in exterior walls, attics and under sinks against outside walls split, and a lot of homes ended up with hurried repairs. We still find temporary fittings, mismatched valves and supply lines that were never properly replaced. We clean those up, replace old shutoffs and supply lines, and can insulate exposed pipes under sinks and in garages so the next hard freeze, like the January 2025 snowstorm, doesn't catch the house off guard. In older homes on pier and beam, we also check under sinks and around toilets for slow leaks that can soften the subfloor.

What shapes the price in Pasadena

Faucet and toilet repair cost depends on whether it's a part replacement or a full fixture swap, and how accessible everything is. A common flapper or cartridge goes in fast, while an older or less common faucet can mean hunting down the right part. Older homes with corroded fittings and frozen shutoff valves take longer. Replacing a toilet with a damaged flange, or a faucet in a tight cabinet, takes longer. Disposals vary with the unit and the drain setup. Tackling all your drips, running toilets and worn valves in one visit is the most economical way to handle them.

Neighbors often ask

My toilet keeps running. Is that a quick fix?

Usually. A running toilet is most often a worn flapper that no longer seals, a fill valve that doesn't shut off or a chain or float set at the wrong length. Mineral buildup can keep parts from seating properly. We replace worn parts with good-quality ones and adjust the water level so the tank fills and stops cleanly, which stops water you're paying for from going down the drain.

Can you replace my old faucet with one I bought?

Yes. We remove the old faucet, which on older sinks can take patience with corroded nuts, and install the new one with fresh supply lines, checking that it's sealed to the sink or counter and leak-free. Old, stiff shutoff valves under the sink are usually the next part to give out, so we suggest swapping them while everything is already apart.

Why does my toilet rock?

A rocking toilet usually means it isn't sitting tight on the flange, because the bolts have loosened, the floor is uneven or the wax seal has compressed or failed. Left alone, it can break the seal and let water seep into the floor. We pull the toilet, check the flange and floor, install a new seal, shim it level where needed and secure it so it sits solid.

Can you replace my garbage disposal?

Yes. We remove the old unit, mount the new disposal on the sink flange, connect the drain and dishwasher line, make the electrical connection and run water through it to check for leaks. A disposal that hums but won't spin is often just jammed, so we'll check whether clearing it and resetting it brings it back before recommending a replacement.
