Name: Masters Plumbing Service
Telephone: +1-855-718-1500
Price range: $$
Rating: 4.9

Low water flow at a kitchen or bathroom faucet is almost always a clogged aerator or a partially failed cartridge — not low supply pressure. Stiff handles, dripping spouts, and leaks under the sink each trace to specific internal components. Our techs in Katy know faucet valve anatomy across all the major brands and carry the parts to fix them.

Our Qualifications

Why Katy Homeowners Call Masters Plumbing Service for Faucet Work

Faucet repair looks simple until the wrong cartridge is installed, a seat-and-spring assembly is put in backwards, or a corroded packing nut strips during removal. Our techs know the specific disassembly sequence for the faucets they work on in Katy, TX.

🔩

Valve-Type Specific Expertise

Ceramic disc faucets from brands like Moen's newer series, American Standard, and European brands use a pair of ceramic discs that rarely fail but can crack from thermal shock (sudden cold water on a hot disc). Our techs carry common disc cartridge replacements for major brands.

🏷️

Brand Knowledge Across Major Lines

We identify the brand and model from the fixture, source the correct OEM or high-quality aftermarket cartridge, and install it correctly. Using the wrong cartridge on a pressure-balance shower valve doesn't just drip — it can cause scalding or cold-water bypass.

🚿

Shower & Tub Valve Specialists

Thermostatic shower valves (separate volume and temperature controls) are premium fixtures found in master baths where comfort and safety depend on correct cartridge specification. We don't substitute cheaper cartridges on thermostatic valves.

💧

Under-Sink Leak Diagnosis

Not every under-sink leak is the faucet itself — many are supply line connections, P-trap slip joints, garbage disposal collars, or drain body gaskets. Our techs trace the water source precisely before recommending a faucet repair or replacement.

Our Faucet Services

Every Faucet Repair We Handle in Katy, TX

Here's the full range of faucet repair work our techs handle in Katy, TX — by fixture type and by symptom.

Kitchen

Kitchen Faucet Repair & Replacement

Older kitchen faucets with two separate handles use compression valves — each handle has a rubber seat washer that wears and needs periodic replacement. We stock washers and seat tools for these older designs, which are still common in Katy, TX homes built before 1980.

Bathroom

Bathroom Sink Faucet Repair

Two-handle bathroom faucets (separate hot and cold) are often compression or ceramic disc designs. A drip from a two-handle set almost always comes from one side only — telling us which handle's valve needs attention.

Shower

Shower Valve Cartridge Replacement

Shower pressure-balance valves keep the water temperature stable when someone flushes a toilet or runs a dishwasher. When the cartridge wears, you lose that temperature compensation — hot and cold water temperatures swing unpredictably during the shower. We replace pressure-balance cartridges for Moen, Delta, Kohler, and other common brands found in Katy, TX homes.

Outdoor

Outdoor Spigot & Hose Bibb Repair

Freeze-proof (anti-siphon) hose bibbs found in colder Katy, TX climates have a longer stem that shuts water off 8–12 inches inside the heated wall. When these fail or freeze-crack internally, the whole bibb typically needs replacement to restore the freeze-protection function.

Low Flow

Aerator Cleaning & Flow Restoration

Persistent low flow after aerator cleaning points to a partially failed cartridge that's not opening fully, or a kinked supply hose under the sink. We trace the restriction and resolve it.

Replacement

Full Faucet Replacement

When a faucet is discontinued (no available replacement cartridge), heavily corroded at the body, or simply past useful life, we replace the fixture. We supply faucets in the common hole configurations (single-hole, three-hole, widespread) and in finishes to match your existing hardware — chrome, brushed nickel, oil-rubbed bronze.

Our Process

Masters Plumbing Service's Faucet Repair Workflow in Katy

We identify the valve type before ordering or installing any part. The right cartridge for your faucet brand is what produces a lasting result — not a generic part that fits loosely.

Call & Describe Your Faucet Symptom

If you know the brand — Moen, Delta, Kohler, Price Pfister — tell us. If not, the tech will identify it on-site from the valve body and handle design.

Valve Type Identification & Diagnosis

The tech identifies the faucet's valve type (ball, cartridge, ceramic disc, or compression), locates the specific cartridge or repair kit number for that model, and checks whether the required part is on the truck or needs to be sourced.

Flat-Rate Quote & Repair Execution

If the faucet body is corroded or the seat is damaged, we explain the repair complication and re-quote before proceeding.

Verify Zero Drip Before Leaving

We also confirm the angle stop valves under the sink operate — a seized stop valve that can't shut off in a future emergency is a problem worth noting while we're already under the cabinet.

Customer Reviews

Real Faucet Repair Reviews from Katy, TX

★★★★★

Single-handle Moen bathroom faucet dripping at the spout. Tech pulled the cartridge — an old 1200 design that was heavily scaled — swapped in a new Moen cartridge, adjusted the flow limiter, and the faucet has been silent for three months. Clean work, fast, reasonably priced.

— K. Svensson, Katy

★★★★★

Had a hose bibb that dripped at the packing nut all summer. Tech replaced the packing material and seat washer in 20 minutes. Also told me the freeze-proof stem length was correct for my wall depth, which was reassuring heading into winter.

— P. & G. Delacroix, Katy, TX

★★★★★

Full bathroom faucet replacement — my old two-handle fixture was discontinued and no cartridges were available. Masters Plumbing Service supplied a quality Moen single-handle faucet in the same 4-inch centerset configuration, removed the old fixture, replaced the supply lines with braided steel, and installed the new unit. Clean, level installation. Also replaced both angle stop valves under the sink since the originals were 20 years old and barely turned.

Common Questions

Faucet Repair FAQ for Katy, TX Homeowners

At one drip per second — which looks minor — a faucet wastes roughly 3,000 gallons per year. At average residential rates in TX, that's approximately $15–$25 per year per dripping faucet. A faster drip or multiple faucets multiply that cost. The EPA estimates that fixing all the leaks in an average home saves 10% on annual water bills.

For most faucets from established brands — Moen, Delta, Kohler, Price Pfister — replacement cartridges and repair kits are available and the fixture is worth repairing. We carry or can source these parts and prefer repair over replacement when the faucet body itself is in good condition.

Temperature swings during a shower — particularly when another fixture is used elsewhere in the house — indicate a failing pressure-balance cartridge. The cartridge's job is to compensate for supply pressure changes caused by other fixtures drawing hot or cold water, keeping shower temperature stable. When the cartridge wears, it loses this compensation ability and temperature follows the pressure fluctuation.

If the stiffness is in a ball-type faucet, the cam and packing assembly may be binding — a rebuild kit with new cam, packing, and springs typically resolves it. We assess which type you have and quote accordingly.

Cartridge faucets use a replaceable ceramic or plastic cartridge that slides in and out of the valve body — repair means pulling the old cartridge and installing the new one in the correct orientation. Ball faucets use a rotating stainless-steel or brass ball with ports that align with supply inlets — repair means a rebuild kit with new ball (if scored), springs, seats, and O-rings installed into the cleaned valve body.

Cartridge replacement on a standard bathroom or kitchen faucet: 30–45 minutes. Ball faucet rebuild: 45–60 minutes. Shower pressure-balance cartridge replacement and anti-scald verification: 60–90 minutes. Aerator cleaning: 15 minutes. Full faucet replacement (fixture supplied): 60–90 minutes.
