Our Faucet & Shower Repair Services
Custom Home Design
We address all types of faucet leaks, from worn washers and valve seats to corroded parts. Leaks not only waste water but can also cause hidden damage beneath sinks and counters. We use high-quality replacement parts that restore long-term reliability. Whether it's a slow drip or a constant stream, our team provides fast, effective solutions that minimize disruption to your daily routine.
Shower Valve Repair & Replacement
Temperature fluctuations and inconsistent flow often stem from damaged valves. Our technicians expertly match replacement parts to your shower’s configuration, restoring balanced hot and cold water delivery. We ensure valves are installed to code and tested for safety. Our service prevents scalding risks and enhances your overall bathing experience.
Fixture Upgrades & Modernization
We help homeowners modernize their kitchens and bathrooms with stylish, water-efficient faucets and showerheads. Upgraded fixtures improve both form and function, enhancing aesthetics while reducing water bills. We offer guidance on eco-friendly brands and features like touchless faucets or rain-style showerheads. The result is a space that feels refreshed and functions flawlessly.
Handle & Knob Repairs
Loose or hard-to-turn handles can impact water flow and user experience. We repair or replace faucet handles, stems, cartridges, and diverters for all fixture types, keeping usability smooth and consistent. We ensure components are properly aligned and sealed to extend the life of your faucet.
Low Water Pressure Troubleshooting
Low shower pressure in areas like eastern San Diego or Spring Valley may result from mineral buildup or faulty regulators. We perform detailed inspections and clean or replace components to restore full pressure safely. Our team checks for clogged aerators, sediment in pipes, and malfunctioning pressure-reducing valves. With our help, you can enjoy a powerful, refreshing shower again.
Drip & Flow Adjustmen
Drips that persist even after turning off a faucet or shower waste water and signal deeper mechanical issues. We adjust and recalibrate internal components to stop drips and promote consistent flow, helping homeowners avoid future damage. Left unaddressed, these small leaks can increase water bills and erode fixture parts. This proactive service helps preserve plumbing system efficiency.
Benefits of Professional Faucet & Shower Repair Services
Prevents Water Waste and Lowers Utility Bills
Even a slow drip from a faucet can waste up to 3,000 gallons of water per year, contributing to unnecessarily high water bills. Professional repairs fix leaks at the source, whether it's a worn-out washer, corroded valve, or loose connection. By addressing these issues quickly, you save both water and money. It's an eco-friendly and budget-conscious decision for any homeowner.
Improves Water Pressure and Flow
Over time, mineral deposits, sediment buildup, and aging components can reduce water pressure in your shower or faucet. This leads to a frustrating experience during everyday tasks like bathing or washing dishes. A trained plumber can clean or replace internal parts to restore full water flow. Improved pressure not only enhances comfort but also increases fixture efficiency.
Enhances Bathroom and Kitchen Functionality
Malfunctioning faucets and showers disrupt daily routines and reduce your home's convenience. Issues like inconsistent water temperature, slow flow, or squeaky handles can become major annoyances. Professional repairs restore full functionality, so everything works as intended. With smooth and reliable performance, your space becomes more enjoyable and stress-free to use.
Protects Against Water Damage
Leaks from faucets or behind shower walls can silently cause major structural damage over time. Water can seep into cabinetry, flooring, or drywall, promoting mold growth and weakening your home’s integrity. Prompt repairs by a licensed technician prevent these hidden dangers from escalating. Long-term, this safeguards your health, property value, and repair budget.
Increases Fixture Lifespan
Neglected issues often lead to early wear and tear, forcing homeowners to replace fixtures sooner than necessary. Professional maintenance addresses small problems before they become major breakdowns. By replacing gaskets, cartridges, and seals, experts can prolong the life of your faucet or shower significantly. This ensures optimal performance while reducing replacement costs.
Adds Value to Your Property
Potential buyers and renters are drawn to homes with updated, fully functional bathrooms and kitchens. Professional faucet and shower repairs improve the appearance and operation of these essential spaces. A well-maintained plumbing system reflects responsible ownership and boosts market value.

Xavier did a fantastic job replacing our laundry room water valves. He professionally diagnosed the problem, explained the process to fix, and completed the removal and installation. The repair including soldering the replacement piping and faucets into place. Excellent job!
Greg K.
I have used XM twice - once to replace a cartridge in my shower that was causing the shower head to leak, and the other to replace the piping and air gap attached to my dishwasher/disposal. Each time, Xavier was able to diagnose the problem quickly (and accurately) and make all necessary repairs. He is responsive, prompt and knowledgeable. XM is the only plumber I will call from now on.
James M.
He found plumbing problems that I didn't know existed. He repaired all plumbing issues. Made one trip to plumbing supply for parts. Both toilets work like new and they're quieter to flush now. He was more expensive than I expected. I would recommend him and I would hire him again for any further plumbing repairs. He was very nice. Extremely knowledgeable on plumbing issues.
