IRBIS does faucet repair and installation in San Jose, and homeowners can usually get a same-day slot. You don't pay a dispatch fee just for the visit. We fix kitchen and bathroom faucets that drip or leak, and we install new ones when the old faucet is ready for replacement. Most jobs are finished on the first visit.

Our licensed plumbers handle kitchen and bathroom faucet repairs across San Jose, and same-day slots open up most weekdays.
What causes it: A worn seal or scored cartridge stops sealing against the valve seat. Hard water accelerates it.
What we do: We pull the cartridge, match the seal and O-rings to your faucet brand, then run the fixture to confirm the drip has stopped.
What causes it: Mineral buildup clogs the aerator screen, or the supply line stop valve is partly closed or corroded.
What we do: We clean or swap the aerator first. Pressure still low? We check the supply line and cartridge before looking further upstream.
What causes it: Scale packs into the cartridge splines and the stem grease dries out, so the handle binds.
What we do: We replace the cartridge and grease the stem with plumber's silicone. Handles that stay stiff usually mean the faucet body is shot.
What causes it: Water in the cabinet usually traces back to a loose supply line nut or a failed compression ferrule. A cracked drain tailpiece will do it too.
What we do: We isolate the source, replace the supply line or fitting, then run water and check that the cabinet is dry before we pack up.
What causes it: Corroded galvanized supply lines or a rusting water heater push sediment out through the tap.
What we do: We flush the fixture and trace the source. Whole-house discoloration points to water pipe services, not the faucet.
We fix kitchen and bathroom faucets, swap out the ones past saving, and install new ones. If the trouble is in the plumbing behind the faucet, the same licensed crew takes care of that too.
A sprayer hose splits. A cartridge scales over. An aerator clogs. We repair what's worth repairing. A kitchen sink faucet replacement makes sense once the body corrodes.
Centerset, widespread, or single-hole, the fix is usually a cartridge or handle. Most bathroom faucet replacement swaps wrap up in one to three hours.
Upgrades, remodels, new sinks. IRBIS supplies the faucet and the parts. Since the homeowner isn't sourcing the unit, one warranty covers the whole job. A plumber for faucet installation starts by checking the hole spacing.
Hose bibs seize, drip, or won't shut all the way. We rebuild those and laundry utility faucets, too.

Tap water in San Jose is 250 to 300 mg/L, which is hard. Calcium and magnesium drop out of solution anywhere the flow slows down, and the aerator screen and the cartridge are two of those spots. Give it a few years, and the deposit is thick enough that the handle gets stiff and the stream comes out as a weak fan. Pull the aerators once a year and rinse them. Cartridges and supply stops are worth a look during your annual plumbing inspection.
Cartridge, aerator, and seal problems are worth fixing on a faucet that's otherwise solid. Replace when the body is corroded, the finish flakes, or the maker has stopped producing the cartridge, common with builder-grade fixtures in older San Jose tract homes. Once a repair approaches the price of a new faucet plus labor ($350-$450), buy the faucet.
We stock cartridges and supply lines on every van, so we finish most faucet repairs in one visit.
Step 1
The plumber runs both handles, then pulls the cartridge. That part fails more often than anything else on a faucet.
Step 2
You get the flat rate in writing before we start. IRBIS doesn't mark up parts, and we don't add to it later.
Step 3
We rebuild the faucet with a matched cartridge and O-rings, or we pull the old fixture and install your new one.
Step 4
We run the hot side, then the cold, then we feel under the trap for drips. You get the written report before we go.
Alert
No Dispatch Fee
You won't pay us to show up and look at the faucet, the way some shops charge. We bill after you approve a price.
Same-Day Service
Call before noon on a weekday, and you usually get a plumber the same afternoon.
Fully Stocked Vans
Cartridges, aerators, and supply lines ride with us, so most visits end with the faucet working.
Licensed California Plumbers
Your plumber for faucet repair works under CSLB license #1048009 and clears a background check before the first job.

Questions & Answers
Questions we hear on faucet repair installation in San Jose calls, answered straight. If yours isn't covered here, call (669) COOLING and ask the plumber directly.
Most jobs run $350-$450 for a standard faucet, parts and labor included. Custom or special-order faucets start at $450. We quote the flat rate in writing before we touch anything, and we don't add to it after you sign.
Usually, yes, on a weekday. We stock common models on the van. If you want a specific one, your kitchen sink installer grabs it from a supplier on the way.
Repair, if the body is sound and the cartridge is still made. Don't sit on it either way. One drip a second runs roughly 3,000 gallons a year down the drain.
No. IRBIS supplies the faucet and the parts, so a single warranty covers the fixture and the labor, with no gap between us and a retailer.
Plan on one to three hours. When we install bathroom faucets and drain hardware as a single job, corroded supply stops or a cramped vanity cabinet can stretch that timeline.
Mineral scale plugs the aerator screen first. If cleaning it doesn't help, the cartridge or the supply stop is restricted, or the problem is upstream.
No dispatch fee. We come out, diagnose the faucet, and hand you a written flat-rate estimate. You decide from there, with nothing owed for the visit.

Most plumbing problems don’t announce themselves in advance. A water heater that’s quietly filling with sediment, a supply line under the sink that’s slowly degrading, a drain that’s 80 percent blocked but still technically draining — these issues build up over months and years until the day they turn into an emergency call and a water-damaged floor.
July 6, 2026
Most homeowners don’t think about their pipes until something forces the issue — a persistent drop in water pressure, water that runs orange when you first turn on the tap, or leaks that keep appearing in different spots, no matter how many times they’ve been patched.

Your garbage disposal stopped working, and you don’t know the cause of the problem. Before you dial a plumber or purchase a new garbage disposal, you can probably fix your existing one yourself in just a few minutes. We prepared this instruction that can help you to understand the common garbage disposal failures and how to troubleshoot them.
