Faucet & Sink Repair | Metro Atlanta

Faucet and Sink Repair in Marietta and Metro Atlanta

A dripping faucet is easy to put off until the water bill arrives, or until that steady tick at 2am finally gets to you. A&G Plumbing & Drain has been fixing faucets and sinks for homeowners across Marietta and Metro Atlanta since 2006. We repair the drip, the slow leak under the cabinet, the handle that spins without doing anything, and the sprayer that lost its pressure. When a fixture is too far gone to save, we tell you honestly and help you pick a replacement that fits your sink and your budget.

Most faucet trouble traces back to a few worn parts, and a lot of it is a same-day fix when we have availability during business hours. Here is what we run into most, and what an honest repair usually looks like.

Drips, Cartridges, and Worn Valves

A faucet that drips after you shut it off is almost always a worn internal part, not a sign that you need a whole new fixture. Single-handle faucets use a cartridge that controls hot, cold, and flow. Over the years the seals inside wear down, mineral deposits build up (and Metro Atlanta water is hard enough to do this faster than you would think), and the cartridge stops sealing. Two-handle faucets often use a valve seat, washers, or ceramic discs that wear the same way.

The repair is usually straightforward. We shut off the supply, pull the handle, swap the cartridge or rebuild the valve with the right parts for your brand, and test it under pressure before we leave. Matching the part to the faucet matters here. A Moen, a Delta, a Kohler, and a Pfister all use different cartridges, and the wrong part is why a lot of DIY faucet fixes start leaking again a week later. We carry common cartridges on the truck so most of these get handled in one visit.

Kitchen Faucets

Kitchen faucets work harder than anything else in the house, so they wear out faster. The complaints we hear most are a base that wobbles, a pull-down sprayer that stopped retracting or lost pressure, low flow from a clogged aerator, and a leak that shows up inside the cabinet only when the water is running. That last one is sneaky, because the water travels down the supply line or the sprayer hose and you do not see it until the cabinet floor is swollen.

We tighten loose mounts, replace cracked sprayer hoses and weights, clean or swap aerators to bring pressure back, and reseal connections that have started to weep. If the faucet body itself is corroded or the finish is flaking, replacement is usually the smarter spend. A slow drip at the kitchen sink can also point to a problem downstream, so if you are also seeing slow drainage we will check that out, and our drain cleaning service can clear the line in the same trip.

Bathroom Faucets

Bathroom faucet repair in Atlanta homes is a steady part of what we do. Bathroom faucets see less volume than the kitchen but they leak in their own ways. Pop-up drain assemblies stick or stop sealing, so the sink will not hold water. The handle gets loose. A drip starts at the spout or weeps around the base. Older two-handle widespread faucets develop leaks at the connections under the deck where the hot and cold lines meet the spout.

We rebuild and reseal these, replace pop-up assemblies, and swap cartridges and washers as needed. If you are remodeling a bathroom or just tired of a dated fixture, this is a good time to upgrade. We will make sure the new faucet matches your sink’s hole configuration, whether that is single-hole, centerset, or widespread, so you are not stuck with a fixture that does not fit.

Sink and Basket-Strainer Leaks

Not every “faucet” leak is the faucet. A puddle under the sink often comes from the drain side. The basket strainer in a kitchen sink is sealed with plumber’s putty that dries out and cracks over time, and once it does, water seeps around the drain every time you fill the basin. P-traps loosen, slip-nut washers wear out, and the flexible tailpiece connections work themselves loose.

We pull the trap, reseat or replace the basket strainer with fresh putty or a gasket, snug up the slip joints, and run water to confirm the leak is gone before we pack up. If the leak is around your garbage disposal mount or the disposal’s drain connection, that is a related fix, and you can read more on our garbage disposal repair and installation page. Catching these early saves you the bigger headache of a rotted cabinet base or a cabinet floor that has to come out.

Fixture Replacement and Upgrades

Sometimes repair is not the right call. If the faucet body is cracked, the finish is peeling, parts are no longer made for an old model, or you have rebuilt it once already, a new fixture is the better value. Replacement is also the move when you are updating a kitchen or bath and want a touchless faucet, a higher-arc pull-down, or a matching set across a remodel.

We handle the full swap. That means shutting off and disconnecting the old unit, checking the shutoff valves under the sink (these often need replacing at the same time, since old quarter-turn or multi-turn valves seize up), installing your new faucet, hooking up clean supply lines, and pressure-testing every connection. If you have already bought a fixture we will install it. If you have not, we will point you toward solid brands that hold up and steer you away from the ones that fail early.

Honest Cost Ranges

Faucet pricing depends on the faucet brand, what is actually wrong, and how accessible the connections are, so treat these as ballpark ranges and not a quote. A simple cartridge or washer repair on a leaky faucet commonly runs in the range of $150 to $350 nationally, with the cartridge part itself often $10 to $85 depending on the brand and design. A full faucet replacement, with the fixture and labor together, typically lands around $200 to $500 for a standard install, and more for wall-mounted faucets or jobs that need new shutoff valves or supply lines. Bathroom and kitchen replacements at the national level can run higher when a premium fixture is involved.

Atlanta-area faucet work generally falls within those ranges, scaling up with the severity of the leak and any extra repairs the job uncovers. We quote a clear price before we start the work, not after, with no surprise line items and no upsell on a part you do not need.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does my faucet keep dripping even after I tightened the handle?

A drip almost always means a worn internal part, not a loose handle. On a single-handle faucet that is usually the cartridge, and on a two-handle faucet it is often the washers, valve seat, or ceramic discs. Tightening the handle does not fix a worn seal, and overtightening can actually crack the parts. The lasting fix is to replace the worn component with the correct part for your faucet brand.

Is it cheaper to repair or replace a faucet?

Repair is usually cheaper when the faucet body is in good shape and the problem is a worn cartridge, washer, or O-ring. Replacement makes more sense when the fixture is corroded, the finish is failing, parts are no longer available for an old model, or you have already rebuilt it once. We will tell you which way actually saves you money for your specific faucet before we do anything.

Can you repair any brand of faucet?

Yes. We work on Moen, Delta, Kohler, Pfister, American Standard, and the rest. The key is matching the repair part to the exact model, since cartridges and valve parts are not interchangeable between brands. We carry common parts on the truck so most repairs are handled in a single visit.

There is water under my sink but the faucet looks fine. What is leaking?

That points to the drain side rather than the faucet. The usual culprits are a cracked seal on the basket strainer, a loose P-trap, a worn slip-nut washer, or a leaking supply line connection. Sometimes the water is traveling down a sprayer hose and pooling at the cabinet floor. We trace it to the source and fix the actual leak rather than guessing.

How long does a faucet repair or replacement take?

Most cartridge and washer repairs take under an hour. A standard faucet replacement usually runs one to two hours, a little longer if the old shutoff valves are seized and need replacing too. We pressure-test every connection before we leave so you are not finding a fresh leak after we drive off.

Do you offer same-day faucet repair in Marietta?

We offer same-day service when we have availability during our business hours, Monday through Friday, 9am to 5pm. Faucet drips and small sink leaks are often quick jobs we can fit in the same day. Call (770) 627-4421 early and we will let you know what we can do.
