Faucet Repair & Replacement in Buda, Kyle & San Marcos, TX
Don't Drip Away 3000 Gallons of Water
A dripping faucet is one of those problems that’s easy to ignore — until you realize how much water it’s actually wasting. A single faucet dripping once per second can waste more than 3,000 gallons of water per year. For homeowners in Central Texas, where water conservation matters and utility rates continue to rise, that’s a repair worth making sooner rather than later.
Blackstone Plumbing provides professional faucet repair and replacement for kitchens, bathrooms, and utility areas throughout Buda, Kyle, San Marcos, and the surrounding area. Whether you’re dealing with a persistent drip, a broken handle, low flow, or simply want to upgrade to a new fixture, our plumbers get it done right the first time.

Common Faucet Problems We Repair
Dripping or Leaking Faucet
The most common faucet complaint, a drip is almost always caused by a worn washer, O-ring, cartridge, or ceramic disc — depending on the faucet type. The fix is usually straightforward, but it varies by faucet design. Our plumbers identify the correct repair approach for your specific fixture.
Faucet Handle Is Loose or Broken
A handle that spins freely, won’t turn all the way, or has snapped off entirely typically points to a worn cartridge or stem. In some cases, the internal valve seat has also eroded, which requires additional attention.
Low Water Pressure From One Faucet
If only one faucet has low flow, the aerator is the first place to look. Aerators (the small screens at the tip of the spout) collect mineral deposits over time, especially in hard-water areas like Central Texas. Cleaning or replacing the aerator is a quick fix. If pressure remains low after that, the cartridge or supply valve may need attention.
Hot and Cold Water Mixing Incorrectly
When a faucet runs warm even in the cold position, or never gets fully hot, the cartridge inside the faucet is usually the culprit. This is common in single-handle faucets and is typically resolved with a cartridge replacement.
Faucet Sprays in Multiple Directions
A spout that sends water shooting sideways or upward almost always has a damaged or clogged aerator. In some cases, the spout itself has cracked. Either way, it’s a quick repair.
Visible Rust, Mineral Scale, or Corrosion
Surface-level buildup can often be cleaned with a vinegar solution or commercial mineral remover. But when corrosion has reached the internal components or the faucet body itself is stained and pitted, replacement is typically the better long-term investment. Installing a water softener may prevent additional mineral scale.
Types of Faucets We Service
Our plumbers are experienced with all standard faucet types found in Central Texas homes:
- Ball faucets — Common in kitchen single-handle designs; contain a rotating ball component
- Cartridge faucets — Found in both single and double-handle models; repair involves replacing the cartridge
- Ceramic disc faucets — Durable and precise; discs can crack or develop sediment deposits
- Compression faucets — Older-style, typically two-handle; use rubber washers that wear over time
- Touchless and electronic faucets — Battery or hardwired; our team handles sensor, solenoid, and valve repairs
Faucet Replacement & Upgrade Services
If your faucet is beyond repair, or you simply want to update the look of your kitchen sink or bathroom, we handle full faucet replacements. We can install a fixture you’ve already purchased, or help you select a quality option that fits your existing sink configuration.
Popular upgrade options our customers choose include:
- Pull-down kitchen faucets with integrated sprayers
- Touchless kitchen faucets for improved hygiene and convenience
- Widespread bathroom faucet sets for double-hole vanity sinks
- Single-hole bathroom faucets for vessel and undermount sinks
- Pot fillers above the stove for cooking convenience
- Outdoor hose bib and sillcock replacements
When replacing a faucet, we always check the supply lines and shutoff valves at the same time. Replacing aging supply lines during a faucet installation is an inexpensive precaution that prevents water damage later.
Repair vs. Replace: How to Decide
The answer depends on a few factors:
- Age: Most faucets last 15–20 years with normal use. If yours is older and has needed multiple repairs, replacement makes more financial sense.
- Parts availability: Some older or discontinued faucet models are difficult or expensive to source parts for. In those cases, replacement is often the practical choice.
- Repair cost vs. replacement cost: Minor repairs (cartridge, aerator, O-rings) are almost always worth doing. If the repair cost approaches or exceeds the cost of a new entry-level faucet, replacement is worth considering.
- Finish and appearance: If the finish is significantly worn, pitted, or mismatched with updated fixtures in the room, replacement may be preferable even if the functional issues are minor.
- Full Fixture Remodel: If you’re replacing the other fixtures like the bathroom sink and cabinet, you will usually want to replace the faucet as well.
Our plumbers will give you a straightforward recommendation based on what they find — not what costs more.
Hard Water and Faucet Lifespan in Central Texas
Central Texas has some of the hardest water in the country, and it takes a toll on faucet components. Mineral buildup clogs aerators, abrades ceramic disc surfaces, and can cause cartridges to seize prematurely. Homeowners in Buda, Kyle, and San Marcos who invest in water softening often notice their faucets, appliances, and fixtures lasting noticeably longer.
If you’ve replaced faucet components more than once in a short period, it may be worth having a water quality conversation with our team.

Frequently Asked Questions — Faucet Repair & Replacement
How much does it cost to repair a dripping faucet in Buda or Kyle, TX?
The cost depends on the faucet type and the parts needed. Replacing a cartridge or O-ring is typically one of the more affordable plumbing repairs. We provide a clear estimate before starting, so you know the cost upfront. Call 512-906-5622 for current pricing.
Can I replace a faucet myself, or should I hire a plumber?
A straightforward faucet swap in the same location — same number of holes, same supply connections — is a project many homeowners take on themselves. Where things get complicated: older supply valves that need replacement, corroded fittings that require cutting and re-threading, or non-standard plumbing beneath the sink. If you’re not sure what you’ll find under there, a plumber can save you the risk of a leak or a damaged valve.
My faucet drips only occasionally. Does it still need repair?
Yes. An intermittent drip typically means a worn washer or cartridge that’s not fully sealing. It will worsen over time, and even occasional dripping adds up to significant water waste over a month or year.
What’s the best kitchen faucet brand for hard water areas like Central Texas?
We work with a range of reputable brands including Moen, Delta, Kohler, and American Standard. In hard water areas, ceramic disc faucets tend to hold up better than rubber-washer designs. Brands with solid brass bodies also resist corrosion better than chrome-plated zinc models. We can help you choose an option that fits your budget and your water conditions.
Can you install a pot filler faucet if there isn’t one there already?
Yes, though it requires running a water supply line to the wall behind the stove. This is a more involved installation than a standard faucet swap, but it’s a project our team handles. We’ll assess the feasibility based on your kitchen layout and wall access.
How often should I clean my faucet aerators?
In hard water areas like Buda, Kyle, and San Marcos, cleaning your aerators every 6–12 months is a good habit. Simply unscrew the aerator from the spout tip, soak it in white vinegar for 30 minutes, and rinse. If it’s cracked or the screen is deteriorating, replacement aerators are inexpensive and readily available.
Do you repair outdoor faucets (hose bibs) as well?
Yes. Hose bib and sillcock repairs and replacements are part of our service. Outdoor faucets are exposed to temperature swings, physical wear, and backflow issues. We also recommend frost-proof sillcocks for properties where the occasional Central Texas freeze could cause damage.
