A dripping faucet at one drip per second wastes over 3,000 gallons per year. Past the water cost, the drip often signals a worn cartridge or deteriorated seat-and-spring assembly that will worsen over time — eventually leaking continuously or becoming stiff and difficult to operate. Masters Plumbing Service's faucet techs in Aurora, IL identify the specific valve type in your fixture, source the correct replacement cartridge or repair kit, and restore full, drip-free operation in a single visit.

Our Qualifications

4 Things That Set Our Faucet Repair Service Apart in Aurora, IL

We identify the valve type, source the correct OEM or quality aftermarket replacement, and restore the faucet to full operation — no leaks at the spout, no stiff handle, no drip.

🔩

Valve-Type Specific Expertise

Ceramic disc faucets from brands like Moen's newer series, American Standard, and European brands use a pair of ceramic discs that rarely fail but can crack from thermal shock (sudden cold water on a hot disc). Our techs carry common disc cartridge replacements for major brands.

🏷️

Brand Knowledge Across Major Lines

We identify the brand and model from the fixture, source the correct OEM or high-quality aftermarket cartridge, and install it correctly. Using the wrong cartridge on a pressure-balance shower valve doesn't just drip — it can cause scalding or cold-water bypass.

🚿

Shower & Tub Valve Specialists

Shower valves — particularly pressure-balance and thermostatic mixing valves — are more complex than a kitchen sink faucet and have safety implications if repaired incorrectly. We carry cartridges for the major pressure-balance valve brands common in Aurora, IL homes and understand the anti-scald setpoint calibration that should be verified after any shower valve cartridge replacement.

💧

Under-Sink Leak Diagnosis

Not every under-sink leak is the faucet itself — many are supply line connections, P-trap slip joints, garbage disposal collars, or drain body gaskets. Our techs trace the water source precisely before recommending a faucet repair or replacement.

Our Faucet Services

From Kitchen to Shower — Faucet Repair Across Your Home

Here's the full range of faucet repair work our techs handle in Aurora, IL — by fixture type and by symptom.

Kitchen

Kitchen Faucet Repair & Replacement

Older kitchen faucets with two separate handles use compression valves — each handle has a rubber seat washer that wears and needs periodic replacement. We stock washers and seat tools for these older designs, which are still common in Aurora, IL homes built before 1980.

Bathroom

Bathroom Sink Faucet Repair

Two-handle bathroom faucets (separate hot and cold) are often compression or ceramic disc designs. A drip from a two-handle set almost always comes from one side only — telling us which handle's valve needs attention.

Shower

Shower Valve Cartridge Replacement

After cartridge replacement, we verify anti-scald calibration — the maximum hot water limit set by the cartridge rotational stop — to confirm the valve won't deliver scalding water at full hot even if a supply pressure event occurs.

Outdoor

Outdoor Spigot & Hose Bibb Repair

Freeze-proof (anti-siphon) hose bibbs found in colder Aurora, IL climates have a longer stem that shuts water off 8–12 inches inside the heated wall. When these fail or freeze-crack internally, the whole bibb typically needs replacement to restore the freeze-protection function.

Low Flow

Aerator Cleaning & Flow Restoration

Reduced flow at a kitchen or bathroom faucet is almost always a clogged aerator — the small screen-and-flow-restrictor assembly at the tip of the spout. Mineral scale from hard water accumulates in the aerator mesh over time, progressively reducing flow to a trickle. Aerator cleaning or replacement restores full rated flow in minutes.

Replacement

Full Faucet Replacement

We handle the full installation: shut the supply, disconnect the old faucet, inspect the supply lines and angle stop valves, install the new faucet, connect supply, adjust the aerator, and verify drip-free operation before leaving.

Our Process

How Our Faucet Repair Process Works in Aurora, IL

We identify the valve type before ordering or installing any part. The right cartridge for your faucet brand is what produces a lasting result — not a generic part that fits loosely.

Call & Describe Your Faucet Symptom

Drip at the spout? Leak at the base? Stiff handle? Low flow? Knowing the symptom and, if possible, the faucet brand lets us arrive with the most likely replacement parts already stocked on the truck.

Valve Type Identification & Diagnosis

For many major-brand cartridges — Moen 1225, Delta RP46074, Kohler GP30413 — the part is on the truck and the repair proceeds immediately.

Flat-Rate Quote & Repair Execution

If the faucet body is corroded or the seat is damaged, we explain the repair complication and re-quote before proceeding.

Verify Zero Drip Before Leaving

We also confirm the angle stop valves under the sink operate — a seized stop valve that can't shut off in a future emergency is a problem worth noting while we're already under the cabinet.

Customer Reviews

What Aurora Customers Say About Our Faucet Work

★★★★★

Single-handle Moen bathroom faucet dripping at the spout. Tech pulled the cartridge — an old 1200 design that was heavily scaled — swapped in a new Moen cartridge, adjusted the flow limiter, and the faucet has been silent for three months. Clean work, fast, reasonably priced.

— K. Svensson, Aurora

★★★★★

My shower temperature was impossible to control — any toilet flush or washing machine cycle would cause a cold spike mid-shower. Masters Plumbing Service replaced the pressure-balance cartridge in the Kohler valve, set the anti-scald stop at 120°F, and tested temperature stability by running the toilet while the shower ran. The swing went from 15+ degrees to less than 2. That's how a pressure-balance valve is supposed to work.

— P. & G. Delacroix, Aurora, IL

★★★★★

Full bathroom faucet replacement — my old two-handle fixture was discontinued and no cartridges were available. Masters Plumbing Service supplied a quality Moen single-handle faucet in the same 4-inch centerset configuration, removed the old fixture, replaced the supply lines with braided steel, and installed the new unit. Clean, level installation. Also replaced both angle stop valves under the sink since the originals were 20 years old and barely turned.

Common Questions

What to Know Before Scheduling Faucet Repair in Aurora, IL

The more important issue: a drip that starts slow almost never stays at one drip per second. The cartridge or seat washer continues to deteriorate, worsening the leak until it's a steady stream or a handle that no longer shuts off at all.

For most faucets from established brands — Moen, Delta, Kohler, Price Pfister — replacement cartridges and repair kits are available and the fixture is worth repairing. We carry or can source these parts and prefer repair over replacement when the faucet body itself is in good condition.

A shower that fluctuates only at extreme handle positions (scalding at full hot, freezing at full cold) may actually have a correctly functioning but incorrectly set anti-scald stop — a mechanical rotational limiter on the cartridge that's adjustable without cartridge replacement.

Stiffness in a faucet handle is usually caused by mineral scale accumulation on the cartridge tracks and O-ring contact surfaces, or a cartridge that's beginning to seize from corrosion. In many cases, a new cartridge — which comes with new lubricated O-rings and a clean ceramic or plastic body — restores smooth operation completely.

Ball faucets are more common in older kitchen faucets and in some outdoor fixtures. Most modern single-handle fixtures are cartridge or ceramic disc designs. Identifying which type is present is the first step in every faucet repair call.

Cartridge replacement on a standard bathroom or kitchen faucet: 30–45 minutes. Ball faucet rebuild: 45–60 minutes. Shower pressure-balance cartridge replacement and anti-scald verification: 60–90 minutes. Aerator cleaning: 15 minutes. Full faucet replacement (fixture supplied): 60–90 minutes.
