A dripping faucet at one drip per second wastes over 3,000 gallons per year. Past the water cost, the drip often signals a worn cartridge or deteriorated seat-and-spring assembly that will worsen over time โ eventually leaking continuously or becoming stiff and difficult to operate. Masters Plumbing Service's faucet techs in Big Spring, TX identify the specific valve type in your fixture, source the correct replacement cartridge or repair kit, and restore full, drip-free operation in a single visit.

We identify the valve type, source the correct OEM or quality aftermarket replacement, and restore the faucet to full operation โ no leaks at the spout, no stiff handle, no drip.
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.
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 โ it can cause scalding or cold-water bypass.
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.
Not every under-sink leak is the faucet itself โ 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.
Here's the full range of faucet repair work our techs handle in Big Spring, TX โ by fixture type and by symptom.
Older kitchen faucets with two separate handles use compression valves โ 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 Big Spring, TX homes built before 1980.
Single-handle bathroom faucets use cartridge valves โ one cartridge controls both hot/cold mixing and volume. When the cartridge wears, the result is a drip that typically starts slowly and worsens over months. We identify the cartridge model by the faucet brand and replace it with the correct OEM cartridge.
After cartridge replacement, we verify anti-scald calibration โ the maximum hot water limit set by the cartridge rotational stop โ to confirm the valve won't deliver scalding water at full hot even if a supply pressure event occurs.
Outdoor hose bibbs fail in two ways: a dripping spout (worn stem packing or seat washer) or a leak at the packing nut behind the handle (deteriorated packing material around the stem). Most hose bibb repairs involve replacing the seat washer and packing without removing the body from the wall.
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.
We handle the full installation: shut the supply, disconnect the old faucet, inspect the supply lines and angle stop valves, install the new faucet, connect supply, adjust the aerator, and verify drip-free operation before leaving.
We identify the valve type before ordering or installing any part. The right cartridge for your faucet brand is what produces a lasting result โ not a generic part that fits loosely.
Drip at the spout? Leak at the base? Stiff handle? Low flow? Knowing the symptom and, if possible, the faucet brand lets us arrive with the most likely replacement parts already stocked on the truck.
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.
You receive a flat-rate quote covering parts and labor before the water is shut off under the sink. Common repairs โ cartridge replacement, ball assembly rebuild, aerator service โ are straight-forward pricing with no variable labor component.
After repair, we run the faucet through the full temperature range, check the spout, base, handle, and supply connections for any drip, and confirm the aerator flow is unrestricted. The repair is complete when we can demonstrate it's dry and flowing correctly.

Single-handle Moen bathroom faucet dripping at the spout. Tech pulled the cartridge โ an old 1200 design that was heavily scaled โ swapped in a new Moen cartridge, adjusted the flow limiter, and the faucet has been silent for three months. Clean work, fast, reasonably priced.
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.
Low flow in the master bath โ I assumed the pressure regulator was failing. Tech cleaned the aerator (heavily scaled), and flow went from a trickle to full pressure immediately. 10-minute fix, saved me from chasing a pressure problem that didn't exist.
