Faucet Repair and Replacements in Charlottesville, VA
Robertson Electric repairs and replaces faucets in Charlottesville, VA and the surrounding counties, in kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms, and utility sinks, with the finding photographed and the fix priced before work begins.
Faucets leak at their bases onto countertops, leak underneath at supply connections where the damage stays hidden inside the cabinet, lose pressure through clogged aerators and failing cartridges, and seize or spin as handles wear. The under-sink leaks earn the most scrutiny, because slow water in a closed cabinet grows mold and ruins the cabinet floor before anyone notices.
Schedule with Robertson Electric by phone, online, or 24/7 chat, and we’ll help get your faucets functioning right again.
Faucet Repairs
Repair starts with identifying the faucet’s mechanism, cartridge, ball, ceramic disc, or compression, since each fails and repairs differently. We replace the worn internals with correct parts, address supply connections and shutoff valves while the work is open, and verify the fix under pressure. Older fixture shutoffs that no longer close, a common finding in homes here, get flagged, because a shutoff that will not shut is a future flood’s accomplice.
Faucet Replacements
When a faucet’s finish is failing, its body is corroded, or its parts are obsolete, replacement beats repair, and we say so with the numbers rather than a sales lean. Replacement includes removing the old unit, correcting the supply connections, and installing the new fixture to manufacturer specification, with the work photographed.
Additional Services
Well-water households across the surrounding counties see faucet internals wear faster where the water carries sediment or minerals, a pattern our water treatment and filtration services address at the source, and full kitchen or bath projects fold faucet work into our kitchen and bathroom plumbing services. A faucet problem that is really a pressure problem house-wide belongs to our broader pipes and general plumbing services.

FAQs
How much water does a dripping faucet waste?
A steady drip wastes hundreds of gallons a month, and a fast one far more, which is why the repair usually pays for itself on the utility bill alone, before counting the fixture it saves.
Why did my faucet's water pressure drop?
Locally, a clogged aerator or failing cartridge; house-wide, something bigger. If one faucet weakened, we start at the fixture. If the whole house weakened, the diagnosis moves upstream, and we test rather than guess.
Can old two-handle faucets be repaired, or must they be replaced?
Most can be repaired while parts remain available, and many older mechanisms are simple and durable. The honest limit is obsolete internals or a corroded body, at which point we quote replacement alongside the repair attempt.
What causes a faucet to leak from its base rather than the spout?
Failed O-rings or seals where the spout meets the body, letting pressurized water escape at the joint. It is repairable, and worth doing promptly because base leaks run onto the counter and into the seam behind the sink.
Why does my new faucet already show mineral crust?
Hard or mineral-heavy water, common on wells in this region, deposits scale wherever water dries. Cleaning helps the finish; treating the water is what protects the internals, and a water test tells you what you are working with.
