A dripping faucet or a toilet that won't stop running is annoying in the moment, but the real problem hits your water bill. Toilet, faucet and fixture repair in Santa Cruz keeps these everyday problems from turning into weeks of wasted water and higher costs. Most of these issues are fixable fast: a worn valve, a bad fill mechanism, a corroded cartridge. Our plumber comes to you, figures out what broke, and tells you exactly what it costs before turning a wrench.
Santa Cruz homes, especially older ones in Downtown and the Westside, have a mix of vintage fixtures and newer remodels, and each one has its own quirks. Coastal humidity and the occasional mineral content in our water can corrode washers and seals faster than most places. We stock the right parts for whatever's in your walls: compression faucets, ball valves, cartridges, and tank components. If the fixture can't be rebuilt, we'll walk you through the cost of replacement and help you pick something that fits your budget and your space.
Some jobs are simple: a new fill valve stops a running toilet. Others need a bit more: checking the water pressure, replacing supply lines, or inspecting for corrosion under the sink. We don't guess. We look, we explain, and you decide whether to fix or replace before we charge you a dime.

Common questions
Can you fix a running toilet the same day?
Yes, most running toilets are fixed the same day because the problem is usually a faulty fill valve or flapper that we replace in an hour or less. We come to your door in 45 minutes and diagnose it on arrival.
What does it cost to fix a leaky faucet?
We don't quote prices over the phone because the cost depends on what's broken and whether we rebuild or replace the fixture. We inspect it, tell you the exact price before we start work, and you can say yes or no.
Why is my faucet leaking under the sink?
A leak under the sink usually means the supply line has cracked, the valve seat is worn, or the connection is loose. We trace the water back to the source so we know exactly what to fix, not just where it's dripping.
Should I repair or replace my fixture?
If the faucet or valve is less than 10 years old and only one part is broken, repair usually makes sense and we can do it the same day. Older fixtures might be better replaced because multiple parts are often failing at once. We'll give you both options and the price for each.
